Thread: vnt turbo dismantle

Never pulled one apart, but very interested in how you get on.

I had a search last night and from the few bits of info I read it seems like they are just a normal center assy.

I did find a reference to having to twist the turbine and compressor wheels once the nut was undone to loosen the compressor. Have you tried that?

No i haven't, that could be it. I've only seen the ones where you undo the nut and it just comes apart (T25). Will give it a go,i've got 3 to play with, so can only bugger the first one then it'll be of to the turbo shop with the rest

I've pulled a couple apart.
The wheel is a very tight fit on the shaft. Some later ones are threaded on, but these are obvious as there's no nut. I haven't taken one of those apart.

See if gentle tapping moves it.

What is it off originally?

Was hoping you'd pipe up, its of an Isuzu 3.0l Daily, GT2260vnt.
The nut is lefthand thread, so yeah must press fit, will soak it in crc then give it a gentle wacking

The rebuild kits from normal GT series turbos are supposed to fit, but I haven't tried replacing anything in one yet.

Tap tap tap and out it came, now where would i get a rebuild kit from?
