SE Turbo Failures

[Fuzzlet]

When I replace the turbo from the SE, it'll be for sale, so if someone wants a spare just in case

I havent pulled one apart, the consensus is that its RHF5 non ball bearing.

Fuzzlet you may have buyer once you pull it off, will make a nice hi flow project...............

Taken from the original handbook for the SE:

"if you have dríven up a steep hill, on a freeway for long periods, or dríven hard, you should let the car idle for at least 30 seconds. Never switch the car off straight after *before mentioned* otherwise irrepairable damage will occur to the turbocharger"......Sounds like its a non ball bearing turbo to me

Trouble with that, is I'm planning on selling everything as one kit...pretty much a bolt on turbo kit for any BP

Added to that, driving like a sunday granny for about a km before reaching your destination, would work just as well for the cool down period.

Did you give them the numbers off the turbo in my pics?

[blackster]

They (turbo international) sell refurb kits but not the major items.

You can find the same rebuilds kits:

I would have (I even printed it for my file) but I would have been guessing on some of the numbers. Don't suppose you can verify them?

I'll have a crack:

Turbo Spec: VJ390405
Serial No RHF5: 24041A
Part No BP8J

This is my best guess:

Excellent. Stephanie is the odd one out with the last spec. digit of 7 though?

Asking for advice about the MSM from stephanie, now there's trouble..........

Email Keith from FM, im sure he will be more then happy to give you the information you need, highly likely they have a few units laying around after doing FMII upgrades.
