Gtx2867r leaking, need new turbo

[Mini Franki]

Hi,

My gtx2867r leaking so i need new turbo. I dont want to spend too much on the new one so im trying to find the best price/perf bet. Im actually pretty happy of this turbo so i want something similar! Im on stock block(140 000km and BT since the 50 000km). Im running it at 21psi and 500cc WMI. I have a 3.5" intake

I think to go with bnr s3 or s4 after a good research but i dont know which one to choose. Gtx2867r seem to be between these 2 turbos. According to circumstances, which one is the best?

Thx

Why don't you just rebuild it if you can afford a small amount of downtime?

Its my daily driver, i cant remove the turbo and to send it to garrett. I already bought a rebuild kit but i returned it because my exhaust housing is completly jammed, impossible to remove the bearing. Oil leaking dont really bothered me but at my last oil change(5000km), i had no oil on my stick! So now i probably lose too much oil, i need to fix that

Modding the daily! Risky business indeed.

I agree but its my 2nd speed, 300 000km total and 160 000km total BT and i dont want any another car for my daily. This car is too much fun to drive. Recently did a 120-220kmh against a audi r8 v10, that was equal! This is my motivation to keep a 30k car in live lol

I'd deal with the down time and get it rebuilt. That's a nice turbo. Catch the bus!

[Mini Franki]

Im from canada/quebec, do you guys know a good place for rebuild? how many time that will take for it? If its really a small amount of time, i can try to get a car for this time

You should be able to find a local competent turbo shop to complete the rebuild and balance. In AZ there a few local diesel shops capable of doing our baby turbos. The same could be said for you. Prices always vary.

I find blaast performance turbo shop. But i think i need to do a good check up for see if the motor is good and if.my PCV is good too before to do a turbo rebuild. Maybe my turbo is okay but all the rest make it leak

Thx for the info guys

[Db09ms3]

Yeah man, check all that shit. Should be doing that to begin with

Not local, but I used Cherry Turbos in St. Thomas, Ontario to rebuild my GTX3067R.

For people near to montreal, dont go at blaast performance. Review are not very good

For the best job, turbo expert at Quebec

I dont have a lot of shaftplay, ill try a banjo bolt restrictor to see if that stop leaking. That seem to leak only on boost because i dont see any smoke when i drive it normally. I already have a sp63 filter on the oil cap for help the pressure in the return line

[Mini Franki]

That maybe can a pcv valve failure? On idle, vaccum is supposed to suck air from my oil breather cap? That actually did the opposite. I feel a little pressure and that throw oil everywhere when i remove the oil breather cap. I have a gen 2 so im not supposed to receive oil from the chain

Im now at 145k and i think the pcv never get changed

BNR can probably rebuild your GTX2867R. They do rebuilds of many turbos in addition to selling their own custom turbos. Check with them.
