upgrade to a ball-bearing!

['00EX5-turbo]

i currently have a greddy turbo(the civic 92-95 kit). is it possible to rebuild/upgrade it to a ballbearing turbo? and how much will it cost? or should i just buy a ballbearing turbo from other company?

thanks!

I don't think its possible to upgrade it to a ball bearing turbo.......
I think you have to get a new turbo... Which means that you have to get a new manifold... WHIch porbably means that the piping you have for your greddy turbo is too small.......

sound like that i have to spend a lot of $ :no:

you wont need a new manifold but you will have to spend good bit for one. Usually about 400 or so more for the bb option. With the greddy kit its definantly not worth it. You wont make any more power and the thing spools so quick anyways.

i agree with boosted. for the boost capability and design of the GReddy/Trust TD04-h 15g, you really do not need a ball bearing upgrade. BB is highly recommended on higher boost applications anyway. the most you'll pull out of that TD04-h 15g is about 15 psi....if you get lucky. i say drop that cash to something else. internal mods maybe?
