Guest George89 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Does anyone know how much it cost to refurbish stock twin turbos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige-rz Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Tooquicktostop got this done. He paid around £900 from what I can remember. That was for hybrids though with better internals, so it might be a bit cheaper for just reconditioning. If you're on a budget, you'd be better off just looking out for a decent set of 2nd hand ones. Pretty sure they go for about 3-400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I would be very wary of buying second hand stock turbos. Out of the frying pan and into the fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 All steel internal refurb is around 900 pounds, they looked like new when they came back, they will make a real 420 BHP with the right bpu mods at 1.2 bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 i had stage 3 hybrids £1,200 lasted 1 year 5k and where rubish, good stock replacment everytime over hybids everytime IMO. toyotas machinery is far more superier for making and balancing turbos, about 1k hybrid vs 300 decent stock replacement,on paper a hybrid sounds good but if your upping boost then you are on borrowed time, hybrids on stock boost 1.2 might last a long time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Is there a difference between stock refurbed with steel internals compared to hybrids? I figured a turbo company like CR would know their stuff. What is a stage 3 hybrid, compared to stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADZsupra Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 CR are very good and will do custom jobs like enlarging wastegate,porting etc..and will build to whatever spec you want. At least on paper anyway the main fault with the stock system isnt the turbos but the restrictiveness of the pipework and mainifold etc. Too much and it chokes..the tubbies heat up and fail due to twisted shafts..broken blades..oil starvation. other than stu hagen in the states whose running a pair of gt28 hybrids at 32psi!!! And has been for two years now with no issues i dont know anyone who swares by hybrids in this country but stu opened up the pipework too..got a custom manifold..1000cc injectors..relocated the air intake to by the intercooler and runs race full etc.(full bpu and vipec ecu). Hes made over 600bhp and over 500ftlbs of torque...with 11sec quarters on road tyres...on 3 different dynos...although it is america lol .its still impressive!

I figured a turbo company like CR would know their stuff. What is a stage 3 hybrid, compared to stock? The stage 3 was larger compessor and turbine with a 360 thrust bearing, so they machine out the turbos intake and exhuast side for better flow, by the looks of it i would say that the overal diamiter of the compressor was 10mm larger then stock i will measure tonight but they are noticably more laggy as well,i did like the set up of the twin turbo but with the stage 3 i had to get nearly everything for a single turbo set up ,so when they let go posible shaft snapped as the no 2 compressor was mashed into the housing have a look at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 they let go posible shaft snapped as the no 2 compressor was mashed into the housing [ATTACH=CONFIG]151652[/ATTACH] have a look at that That looks nasty and expensive. Thats why I was wondering whether the lack of reliability was due to the larger compressor etc which would overload the stock pipework and cause a rise in egts etc, also is the oilflow enough for bigger twin turbos? If I had mine rebuilt it would just be to stock spec with steel internals. surely bearing/turbo design has moved on since Toyota designed these almost 20 years ago.
