Phyte Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Does anyone sell a complete rebuild kit for an 83 turbo motor? Rings, bearings, gaskets, etc? Also where would I go about finding a T3 turbo rebuild kit? Thanks Phyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 For an engine kit, try http://johnsforeignengines.com Send him an email. Very responsive, and good service, and great prices. He may not have the turbo rings, but he will have everything else. You may need to go to Nissan for the rings. Before ordering anything, I'd pull it appart to be sure on what size rod and main bearings you need. Also, just to to check the condition of the bores and crank journals. If you need to bore it, finding oversized turbo pistons mught be difficult. Forged aftermarket ones are expensive. I guess it depends on how much boost you are going to run. For a turbo kit, http://www.turbocity.com has them. I had a T4/T3 hybrid rebuild recently for $150, so you may want to go that route and get a warranty.

Pete Well the engine is going to be stuck in KS until April. Thats the earliest my Dad can bring it down. I'll tear it down before I start ordering parts just to make sure and get the right goods. The engine only had 107K on it, so hopefully everything internally is in order. As for the turbo rebuild, I've seen rebuilt T03/04's on Ebay for $300. Instead of spending half that on a rebuild, I think I'll just upgrade. I'll need an IC and fuel to support that turbo also. I might as well do it while I'm at it right Phyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
