Can i get some help... having a bad day.

[Kaine Beedenbender]

As you might of read my other thread, i bought what i thought was a decent T-Type off of eBay. It turned out to be a bit worse than i thought. Today i tore into it and replaced all of the vacuum and gas lines. I bought a rebuild kit for the turbo.

- While trying to replace the PCV grommet it was very hard and brittle and half fell into the intake. Do i need to remove the intake or can i leave it there? I cant see it even with a scope.

- I tried rebuilding the turbo but the bolts were so rusty they all snapped and the turbine wheel is bad. Anyone know where i can get a good used turbo for reasonable? If i were to upgrade now what do you recommend? I need something that will run stock now and that i can turn up later.

Thanks for any suggestions.

TA-33 is a good turbo for 84/85's. You will most likely need to fetch that broken piece of grommet out or you may regret it later. Not so bad now taking the manifold off if you already removed the turbo.

Thank you for the advice.

Does anyone have a good or rebuilt hot air turbo they want to sell? Could really use it.

Thank you so much, i could really use a break. The first week with this car has been a nightmare. Would i need to rebuild it?

 

[RUDE DOG]

If I'm not mistaken it only has a couple miles on it so doesn't need rebuild.

Have you tried" Intercooled 88" on the forum under parts for sale? Give him a shot.I'm also in NC(Fayetteville) and I have a 85 GN which I might be taking the turbo off that to be replaced by another one.

Hey thanks. I still havent been able to nail down a replacement turbo. A few possibilities fell through. Will keep searching.

 

[Shawn N]

Have you looked at G-Body parts?

 

[Kaine Beedenbender]

I have actually, waiting to hear back from them. Thanks for the reply!

 

[Shawn N]

Limit Engineering will be your best bet for 84/85 turbo and parts. They also make the TA-33. 928-453-7321

 

[Kaine Beedenbender]

I ordered from Gbodyparts, they have to get one made because there are none on the shelf. Will be nice to have a known good turbo though.

If you go to" Parts for sale" in this forum and you see a heading saying"24 Years of hoarding GN parts"that's him and go t page 1 for his parts list.
