my 91 capri gets a turbo transplant
« on: October 27, 2011, 07:49:00 PM »

So first I bought a ihi vi11 for my car but didn't even last a day after I put it in about an hour after the install the shaft broke in half smoked to high heaven. So after that I tried to rebuild the original turbo the ihi vj14 only lasted about a week kinda knew it wasn't gonna work had bad ring lands and couldn't find a turbo locally so the cars been sitting for about two weeks found two turbos which the guy says are in good condition no shaft play and good oil seals for 210 shipped so now finished taking the turbo out and waiting for the new ones to in thinking about maybe sending one of the knew ones and the old ihi vj14 to majestic turbos here in Texas too have then build me a hybrid turbo u know get one done right  its about  600 bucks kinda priciey but that includes a full rebuild,balance


Here some pics of the turbo removed
