CUMMINSDIESELPWR Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 so a local shop does full rebuilds on turbos for appx $350. imma get the turbos rebuilt and have a good spare. -------- Hi Randy, For an HX35W, the starting rate for a rebuild on this turbocharger is $350.00. The $350.00 includes all new bearing, seals, bolts, thrust bearing, thrust collar and new clamps. We test your actuator to make sure it is within spec. We will check for shaft straightness to make sure it is a completely level surface. All the housings (Compressor, turbine & bearing) are all placed in ultrasonic cleaners. Then they are bead blasted and glass blasted as well. They will then be sent back into the sonic cleaners once more to make sure all of the blast material is out of them. The bearing housing then gets honed and the other housings coated. The turbine wheel gets polished and then re-balanced with the compressor wheel. Then the unit will be re assembled. If we find anything out of spec that we do not feel comfortable using, such as a housing and or wheel, we will price it out for replacement of that part or give you the option of how you want to further pursue the rebuild. Please contact me if you have any further questions, Thanks Mackenzie Flynn Turbocharger Product Manager Phone: (303) 428-3611 Ext: 205 Fax: (303) 428-6785 E-mail: mflynn@centralmotivepower.com Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/CentralMotivePower ----------- mods if anything needs to be removed let me know?

Administrator Mopar1973Man Posted July 23, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 23, 2013 I paid $820 for the full rebuild on my HX35W but there is one thing they are not doing is spin balancing the turbo. So I kind of understand why the price would be lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dripley Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 CD mentions rebalancing the compressor wheel. Is that something different? - - - Updated - - - CD mentions rebalancing the compressor wheel. Is that something different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISX Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I would really question the $470 balancing (820-350).. The parts to rebuild the thing are like $100 on ebay. A new turbine/shaft is I think mine was $80. I imagine the compressor wheel is another $80. So seeing as how a rebuild just cleans the compressor/turbine assembly, it is a $100 parts job then labor. But here's the thing, Mike got more than that because of the damage the hose clamp caused. I think he had to get a new compressor wheel, turbine, compressor housing, $$$$. Which might be $400 in parts including the rebuild kit. The labor probably killed him is what I'm thinking.Still, I'm not sure a new one isn't the same $800. My brother seems to get them a dime a dozen with his company connections to get them straight from holset or wherever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Mopar1973Man Posted July 23, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 23, 2013 At the time of my adventure there wasn't any HX35W turbos available any where. I was stuck with getting it rebuilt. Yeah ISX is right I have more damage done to mine. :banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
