HAM8URGER Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 It took forever to get them to this point. After the MKII's, I highly doubt I'll ever refinish another wheel in my life! Quote Link to comment

HAM8URGER Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just ordered a new Kamak billet compressor wheel, 9 blade Kamak STS turbine and some other parts for the turbo rebuild. And a kinugawa adjustable wastegate actuator :) goodies goodies goodies!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
HAM8URGER Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I rebuilt the turbo but I'll have to post the rebuild pics later... As for now... I picked up a $900 fuel cell for $300 form a rich guy in town that just wanted to offload it! Score! Quote Link to comment

Cpl620 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 How do you balanc new turbo internals? Quote Link to comment
HAM8URGER Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 The manufacturer (Kamak Dynamics) balanced the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel/shaft on schenck. Those are the only two pieces than need balancing. If you buy unbalanced parts, you will need to take it somewhere to have balanced...from what I understand... Quote Link to comment
HAM8URGER Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 So here are the differnces between the stock Mitsubishi 18g compressor wheel and the Kamak STS billet wheel. The kamak is obviously taller which is supposed to pull more air. It is also lighter than the cast stock wheel because of its smaller center. Less mass in the middle, larger blades and more surface area on the blades. Also there Are less blades total but more blade surface area As you can see there is much more blade on the the Kamak STS wheel and has less mass/weight in the center. Quote Link to comment
HAM8URGER Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Same concept with the exhaust wheel. Small center, less blades, less rotating mass but more total blade surface area and higher flowing. I have read on other forums that this exhaust wheel flows/power like a TD06SL2 with the spool characteristics of a smaller turbine. I won't have a baseline for comparison when I post dyno graphs but it should perform well and produce the numbers I am looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment
