Another DIY Twin Turbo kit (COMP oil-less turbos)

Rusty

Question on the turbo's. When you grease them. Where does the old grease go to. Does the housing have a plug that you remove for the grease to come out of? Or does it come out of the shaft seals?

When welding aluminum. Make sure that there is no dirt or oil/grease on the joint. It's got to be clean. When you are done. Are you pressure testing the welds? Checking for leaks with Leak Check or soapy water?

I'm an old TIG welder.

Thanks for the great advices. Ill be pressure testing them using one of the turbo leak tester and submerge the ic under water.

Regarding the turbo, i also asked the comp turbo tech that same question. They told me that it does evaporate very slowly (didnt specify through where). They said every 3000-5000 miles just use a grease gun and pump about 3-4 times and thats more than enough to keep it full. The grease fitting looks like its removable.

A lot of the equipment I work on has a grease fitting on one side and a plug on the other side. Remove the plug and grease through the fitting. When grease comes out of the plug hole. You're done. Run equipment until it gets hot with the plug remove. Shut down and install plug. This way no grease is being forced past the seals when the grease gets hot. Also I never knew that grease evaporates. It just turns to wax with heat in my experience.

Wish you luck with your project. Can't wait to see it come to life.
