im doing a turbo swap on my 90GTUs(refer to link in sig) and currently i am doing my rebuild.

upon doing the rebuild my friend and Noticed 2 small chip on the housings. Looks like the previous person/shop who rebuilt it took a screw driver and hammer to pry the housings from the irons (keep in mind i bought this motor rebuilt over a year ago).

the motor is a 90 Aspec t2 motor.


so my question to you guys is... will the small chips affect the integrity of the housings at all like at high boost or anything?? im planning to make at least 400Rwhp when im done with the build.


heres the front housing.





heres the one on the rear housing.





thanks

 

Dosen't look like a big deal. As long as the chip dosen't make it into the coolent seal track it's fine.

 

thats what i was thinking, but i just want to make sure that it wont crack or anything under high boost preasure, Altough i am upgrading the stud kit.

i dont want to take any risk.

 

looks like someone tried to pry the housing.

it should be ok honestly.

 

just to make sure use some jb weld to make the surface even.

 

dude thats on the outside? i wouldnt think you would have to worry about it, that side wont even really touch anything right

 

You should be fine, but I'm the kind of guy that would rather have new ones :P I'm weird.

 

yea its both on top of the housings, like i said at the top, looks like they used a screw driver to pry housings and irons apart.

i just wanna make sure that it wont crack over time due to engine heat, high boost, etc..

the housings are pretty good, those little cracks were only things i found wrong.

and i would buy new ones, if i was on a better budget..
