Precision's new air cooled ceramic dual ball bearing cartridges.

We just started shipping these new air cooled dual ball bearing cartridges out. These are dimensionally the same as the standard T3/T4 dbb units.
Here's the info on them.

"Precision Turbo Dual Ceramic Ball Bearing Turbocharger
These units feature an air-cooled, ball bearing center housing rotating assembly. Dual, angular contact ceramic ball bearings are utilized for maximum durability and an increased thrust load. These units require the use of a 1/8” NPT to -4 AN male fitting on the oil feed side, which can be purchased separately from Precision Turbo (PFT047-3039). At this time, we do not feel it is necessary to use an external oil feed restrictor fitting. At the minimum, we recommend the use of a -10AN oil drain flange/line. This flange can be purchased separately from Precision Turbo (PTP074-2008). Water cooling is not required on these units.
***This unit has been sealed for quality purposes. Do not remove the factory oil feed restrictor fitting, or damage may result***
If you have questions about this, or any of our other products, please contact us directly at (219) 996-7832."

We are currently shipping these chras with turbos that have the 57mm and 65mm turbine wheels. This includes the 6765 turbo. We have spent the last 3 years Beta testing these units in the field for reliability and durability and they passed with flying colors. The 6262, HPQ and HPS turbine wheel equipped turbos are to follow shortly. I will keep everyone up to date on those as well. Here is a pic of the new cartridge.



Also, pricing is the same for these new cartridges.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Pricing will be the same as the water/oil dbb equipped turbos. And all of the Billet models that currently have the dbb option, will be available with this new cartridge.

These turbine wheels will be available with this new cartridge.

57mm, 62mm, 65mm, HPQ & HPS turbine wheel equipped turbos.

57mm and 65mm turbine wheel equipped turbos, are the only ones that are currently shipping with this new cartridge.

I am a day late and several dollars short...
Tell Harry hello!

This is great news if it lowers the total installed price on the turbos. Sucks having almost $2k into a T3/4 3 bolt turbo with the ball bearing cartridge and water lines.

Now if only you'll come up with one for the before black cars Patrick. that would make several of us happy. Good idea though.

I sure hope so.
They are telling us very soon.

Patrick

No ETA as of yet on the larger 70 series turbos. At this time, they are still available with the water cooled dbb chras or standard journal bearing chras.

Unfortunately, we no longer take trade-ins on used turbos.


On another note, 6262 ACBB turbos, have been given the green light as of today.
Talk about sooner than later huh?
