Looks like a fun build!

 

Thats a good idea! I have a spare turbo also, and i would like to learn how to rebuild one. I may try this out some day.

 

Yes good find.
Same questions here

 

So how did the build go? Interested in your results good or bad. I just bought the 360 thrust bearing from Barder for my Van Turbo build. Surprised I don't see more info around here on the 360 thrust bearing.

 

Turbo is on my pickup now, seems to work good.

 

Jim Sanders did something like this.

He used a different housing.


I'm not sure If I wanna do this or a 366 at the moment.

I'm pretty sure I'ma be putting a turbo in somewhere in the next 6 months.

 

360 thrust bearing???????


You guys know that the Chinese rebuild kits fail due to poor quality and tolerances right?

 

360* oiling. The stock one is a 180* oiling

 

Here's a couple pics of the 360 Degree thrust bearing I picked up from Barder Turbo http://www.barderturboservice.com. I don't work for them but I have heard good things from several people though. I believe the website says made in USA or UK. It appears to be of good quality. I have read where they can be steel or made of bronze. Bronze is supposed to allow for less heat transfer and the additional oiling will result in better reliability at higher boost levels.

Here is the Van Turbo I'm thinking of putting it in... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post13401068

I haven't taken any measurements to compare to the stock yet

Stock:




360 Degree

 

interesting info I found on steel Vs. bronze thrust bearings...

I have a question on theses d66 upgraded turbo are these stock housing that have just been machined out to fit the bigger wheel and the outlet made bigger also

 

Hate to bring this back alive but is this saying for 665 I can take my stocker and turn it into a d66 and it pull the same numbers as let's say a beans d66

 

bump................

 

Yes. There is nothing special about a D66. It's a stock turbo with stock turbin wheel, turbin housing, 360* bearing, 66mm compressor wheel, 66mm housing, and a different backing plate.

 

thanks for the info mike. so the stuff i made bold in your reply is what a person would need to buy then. thanks again
