This thread is for the Banks Sidewinder Gen 2 Wastegated Te06H Mitsubishi turbo rebuild.

I’m rebuilding this turbo because I don’t have money to pay someone else to do it and the compressor wheel looks badly damaged.

Doesn’t scrape the sides and spins freely but the compressor wheel ate debris - maybe someone ran it without a filter.

Stay tuned.

This Banks Sidewinder TE06H came off of a non-running motor on a parts truck (check my previous threads).

I am following eatont9999’s videos on YouTube

And he is actively responding to comments please give his channel a view and his videos some likes because they’re helpful to a guy going in blind like me.

No turbo rebuild experience before this, just an attitude of “can-do” and watching videos and reading threads. We’ll see how it goes for me, I just might get lucky

Here’s the rebuild kit that I got per eatont9999’s posts…

No idea if this is 100% the right kit but again we will see…

Easy video to fallow but some one needs to buy that man a tri pod or some other camera mount. Very hard to watch.

Got this far tonight working on separating from the center assembly. There’s a snap ring that’s holding the compressor side on.

Needs to soak overnight with penetrating oil.

I am doing a different intake setup and would like to re-clock the compressor side--is the snap ring the only piece holding things in place? I have yet to remove the turbo and would like to know what's needed before I dive in.

You can buy a re-seal kit from Banks for $20--just the rubber sealing components included when you buy a whole new turbo kit. I think it was only 6 or 7 pieces in the re-seal kit.

yes the very large snap ring on the compressor side is the only thing holding the compressor housing on. Once you pull the snap ring off, the compressor side housing will come off if you have someone pick up the hot side, and use a dead blow hammer around the compressor side. About 10 whacks and it should fall right off. Mine did today

On the darker turbine wheel you can see the dremel marks where they removed material during the initial static balancing tests. Pretty cool

Here’s the problem. When I took it apart I forgot to follow the step in the first tear down video… where the compressor side and turbine side wheels are marked to the housing. I might get lucky and be OK, especially since I need a new compressor wheel anyways.

My plan is to static balance everything with the razor blade trick. Run it easy for a few weeks or months and check oil pressure constantly.

The problem is no one with a VSR capable balancing machine is willing to run a eBay or home rebuild turbo unless they’re the ones rebuilding it. I don’t blame them, personally, but this is a risk that I’ll accept for this experience.

The indexing part really only matters if you're reusing both compressor and turbine wheel, just as an FYI.
