I am glad to hear that! Not gonna lie, I completed the first turbo rebuild and literally wanted to make a video to save others the time I wasted learning. Happy it helped you.
QUESTION PLEASE ANSWER AS I CAN NOT FIND ANY INFO ANYWHERE ON THIS !!i noticed theres a little washer that goes onto the shaft just before pivot washer it is shown on the top row of parts but not on the bottom 26:50ish by chance is the bottom row of parts the drivers side turbo? the reson i ask is because on my drivers side turbo it would not all fit in the housing but without that washer (on the drivers side turbo only) it all fits bolts down and turbine wheels turns nice and freely then i took apart again and started tightening the 10mm bolts into the housing and just when it started getting snug the turbine wheel will not turn at all so just wondering if you do not need the washer on the drivers side???
Hey there. So I believe I know which washer you are referring to. First off, the turbo is identical parts wise for both sides. The reason that it is shown in the old parts on the top and not in the new parts on the bottom is because it is mounted to the shaft assembly when packaged. The one up top is in view because I laid everything out as I disassembled. Go to 28:05 in the video. I just unwrapped the shaft assembly and you can see the "bezel" on the new shaft. The washer I believe you are referring to is on the shaft with the bezel. You can see me remove the bezel and "said washer" at time 28:35. As far as why you are not able to rotate the shaft after torquing the housing, there is definitely something dragging internally or something is not in the right place. You did clean the CHRA housing and al reused parts before reassembly right? I hope this helps. If you are still confused, feel free to send me another message. Good luck!
Now that its been some time, curious how these turbos are holding up? I'm debating rebuilding one or both of my turbos, vs just replacing one side. I also have a broken exhaust manifold stud to contend with, so it's already going to be a journey haha
The truck runs great. I have not had any issues with the turbos. They still provide quick spool and sound great. Although I am consuming plugs about every 10k now. I had warped manifold when I pulled them but was fortunate to not have any stud problems. I bought new ones though and used the ol' vice grips and heat to get them out. Best of luck to you when the time comes!
I have 204k on my turbos. I pulled a 10k trailer for my business over 160k of those miles. My turbos are still working great, im just going to rebuild them for preventive maintenance. Do these kits offer more HP/Torque?
I believe they make a claim for increases but I would imagine it is related to quicker spool times so you have more torque and power (earlier in the power band but not "more"). If anything, I would say the gains are negligible for those of us that tow. They do offer full turbo upgrades however, which do have impressive gains. I noticed maybe 1/2 mpg difference when towing. A lot of factors could have affected that. Good luck with your rebuild!
Thanks! I cant really answer your question. I know there are more than one rebuild kit out there but if your 3.5 is the ecoboost Gen 1/Gen 1+ than yes, it would be the same. The Gen 2 should be the same, I just can't confirm that it is. Good luck with your build my dude!
There is 1 large o-ring and one small one. In the video, Look at the reassembly preparation portion of the video. The smaller one is installed at time: 29:10. For the second larger one, it appears as two when its sitting at the bottom of the mat (and at the top later) but the o-ring at the top of the mat is the same o-ring as the large one on the mat to the left. There is also another one on the left sitting below the coolant fittings. Those are both the same and both are the old ones. It appears as though the install is not on video though. If you go to time: 35:44, you can see where the large one is installed, you can see it installed between the aluminum ring and the "rusty colored" portion. Does that answer your question?
I went with the 1/6 to 1/3 rule. If your not familiar with that, you tighten until you feel a sharp rise in torque. Then tighten between 1/6 and 1/3 of a revolution. That is a general practice for aviation maintenance so its what I use when there is an unknown torque.
Pretty sure thats a Borg Warner turbo. As they were the primary supplier of turbos for Ford. At least for the truck and large SUV platforms. For the smaller ones, such as the 2.7 Ecoboost engines and their cars, I believe they use Garrett.
@@EvilFateIndustries my company makes bearings for Ford and our hub bearings for the Mustangs, Explorers, and soon we are going to make the F150 Lightning EV hub bearings all have FoMoCo stamped on the them.
It works great. Just finished a 5k mile road trip hauling our 9k pound RV. Didn't bog or struggle at all. Oil was clean. Spinny bois were as loud as ever. Very happy with the purchase!
100k on a turbo is really nothing at all. I’d have real concern over buying an after market rotating assembly and issues with balance and shaft motion.
Your not wrong by any means, but when I took it out, it had more play than I was comfortable with reinstalling. I wanted to rebuild with a stock assembly but was unable to source a new ford kit so the rest is history. Ill tell ya what, if she blows up, you'll be the second to know! Prost!
Engine runs great and pulls strong. Throttle response is fantastic and turbos are much louder but disclaimer: I did add an SCT Tuner and downpipe so keep that in mind. All in all, great success. Very happy with the kit. Definitely worth the time if your on the fence. Cheers.
putting these turbos has to be one of the most obnoxious jobs to do in did it with some help of my buddy and it was the single most time consuming and annoying job i’ve ever done on my truck
I agree. I was hoping this job to take me a few days. After I ran in to the warped manifolds, it turned in to a 3 week job and it was indeed not a fun time. I did it by myself though and a buddy helping would have made it much faster.
When I made this video, a single remanufactured turbo was about $1000 in my area (from Ford). This kit included parts for both turbos. I am also a fan or repair instead of replace. By all means, if its cheaper for you to just replace the turbo then definitely go for it!
Here in Colorado Springs, my dealership only offered me new ones. They told me that they do not offer rebuilt units at the time nor did they offer a rebuild service for mine. While that did surprise me, I was not willing to do the extra research and it also gave me an opportunity to take this bad boy apart and make the video!
Awesome video! Straight into it, and very informative. I’m now a turbo specialist, and ready to kick my trucks ash! Thank you
Glad to hear it helped and thank you for the support. Good luck on your project!
Thanks for making this, saved me a ton of time!

What did you ever figure out?

Awesome video, would this be a similar setup to the kit for the transverse 3.5L like in the SHO?
Thanks!

So is there 2 rubber gaskets/o rings for the compressor wheel? I didn't see you install them on the outside of the compressor wheel.
There is 1 large o-ring and one small one. In the video, Look at the reassembly preparation portion of the video. The smaller one is installed at time: 29:10. For the second larger one, it appears as two when its sitting at the bottom of the mat (and at the top later) but the o-ring at the top of the mat is the same o-ring as the large one on the mat to the left.

What did you torque the bolts for the rotating assembly to compressor housing?
I went with the 1/6 to 1/3 rule. If your not familiar with that, you tighten until you feel a sharp rise in torque. Then tighten between 1/6 and 1/3 of a revolution. That is a general practice for aviation maintenance so its what I use when there is an unknown torque.

I agree that they probably are Borgs but obviously they were casted with FoMoCo so your guess is as good as mine.

How is this kit.so far? I just ordered the kit that comes assembled already
It works great. Just finished a 5k mile road trip hauling our 9k pound RV. Didn't bog or struggle at all. Oil was clean. Spinny bois were as loud as ever. Very happy with the purchase!
@EvilFateIndustries i recently installed the rotating assembly from crp and the truck is running like new..I'm extremely happy with them
Class act thankyou

$600 for a kit?? Can't you get a whole new turbo for $600??

Ford rebuild them
