I had the misfortune of buying a turbo twins from someone in Richmond VA.
He suggested the twins were likely rebuilt when in fact one impeller was slightly damaged on one top corner and a pair of impeller housing mounting studs were bent (possibly in transit). It looks like the impeller blade could be filed straight but it would have to be balanced afterwards. Everything else seems to be OK.
Is there a place that sells OEM impellers or services them ?
I know Mazda only sells complete turbo assemblies and Pineapple Racing doesn't
deal with turbos. I tried Turbo City, they don't handle Mazda turbos.

Suggestions anyone ?

 

you can try BNR

http://bnrturbos.com/

 

Might want to speak with RX7.com. They have a source for rebuilds and such.

http://www.gpopshop.com/ might be able to help.

Yeah, turbo city stopped messing with these turbos a while ago.

If the compressor is damaged you can always buy a used set and scavenge parts from that. One other thing, I would check the turbines with the iron snails off before I put them in. It's a pain in the ***, but it's better than putting in turbos that ate an apex seal.

 

Oh, and way to call out Richmond.

 

Thanks for sources everyone !
RX7.com and BNR deal only with complete assemblies. ATP doesn't deal with Hitachi turbos.

Sorry about calling out Richmond Alex, (the eBay seller obviously wasn't Alex) or anyone I know on this forum. I thought it might be inappropriate to name the seller in a post here, but I'll respond to concerned member PM's from around Richmond.
