Call Blouch Turbo, they can get the replacement part you need or rebuild it for you.

My T78 was rebuilt at Majestic Turbo in TX. I'm sure they can square you away.

It'll be cheeper to buy a new one than to have the turbo send to Blouch and back, but i did send them an email asking for the wheel.
Thanks.

It isn't listed on their website anymore, but the Greddy tech support number is 949-588-8300 . Maybe they can give you a part number. They may also just refer you to one of the dealers listed on their website. Stillen happens to be one of those dealers ( 714-550-5566 ), and I've spoken to one of their guys there who seemed to know what he was talking about (forgot his name).

these are west coast time zone in California... so GMT -9 hours I think since you are in Greece. If you call them when you get home from work they should be there.


Another thing. check this out: http://www.greddy.com/products/displ...SubCategory=20

there are two different T-78 wheels, the 33D (which is also used in the small T88) and the 29D . A quick google search says that the 29D (smaller one) has a 64 mm inducer and a 90mm exducer. The 33D has a 66.5mm inducer and a 90mm exducer. You need to figure out which one you need to get.

Back in the day there was a different wheel you could put in your T78 for increased hp, call Jason at the Rx7 store, I think he had this done on his old T78 turbo.

It is written on the turbo that is a 33d unless i didn't get it right and there are more than one types of 33d but any way thank u once more for taking the time to make a search!

Sorry, forgot about this thread. The RX-7 T78 is generally the 33D. Mine was rebuilt by the shop in Dallas if I remember correctly. I saw a thread not to long ago about someone else having their turbo rebuilt by them as well. Best of luck.

I've been through this before. You need to keep calling them. Don't leave a message and don't bother with an email. Or call the Greddy dealer I mentioned (Steve Millen/Stillen).

There is a reason why people have been buying less and less from the big Japanese aftermarket parts manufacturers (Apex'i, Greddy, HKS). Replacement parts are hard to get and service sucks.

I can now tell you for sure that i've run out of options,Jason pointed me to Majestic turbo which couldn't help me,and i also called Steve Millens store just so they could tell me that Greddy doesn't provide parts for their turbo and i should buy a new turbo !

Ok, heres the deal. I can get the compressor wheel by itself, but it would be 3-4 months wait time. Its a special order item through Mitsubishi Turbo. The other option is I can get the CHRA from Greddy.

I know i dont have many options but i really dont have much time to wait, i must have the car tuned as soon as possible,so i guess the order from Mitsu will be my last choice, can u please explain what is the chra?

The CHRA is the center cartridge bearing section with turbine and compressor wheels. Basically, the turbo without the housings.
