adi2009 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hi guys, I have a JZS161 Aristo and the front turbo compressor wheels have been badly damaged. I am going to take apart the intake system and the turbos and thoroughly inspect them. However, I have a spare #2 rear turbo and wondering if I will be able to swap them? Can I swap just the core and keep the front compressor housing and turbine housing if they are undamaged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 They are different the first turbo has a waste gate and the 2nd doesn't . The internals might be the same but you would have to rebalance them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internals might be the same but you would have to rebalance them If the core is the same then it shouldn't be a problem. Rebalancing doesn't arise as we wont be dismantling the core. I will try using the spare rear turbo core and swapping the compressor and turbine housings from the broken front turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Im pretty sure the core orientation will be different between front and rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
