SR20 T25 Housing seized
I picked up a good condition T25 that has probably sat for over 5 years. I planned on rebuilding the thing but after finally removing the 4 housing bolts the exhaust housing is stuck.
I've tried tapping on the housing with a hammer I unscrewed the bolt holding the housing on by the oil drain till it mated with the oil drain and cranked on the bolt.. still nothing I then let the whole thing soak over night in penetrant and tried various other things. If anyone has any ideas please lmkhttps://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...eea3b2acf3.jpg |
I had to take mine to a friend that had an air chisel to get it separated. Before going that route, you could try getting the exhaust housing red hot with a torch then pour cold water on the CHRA and smack the thing free.

Don't tap on it with a hammer, whack it as hard as you can. Heat it up with a torch too. I also have had good luck turning with a jack handle in the compressor.

As you can see I tried that too lol. I used a small sledge but im worried about cracking the housing. |
Well if it cracks then it's the same as it is now, you can't use it lol. Do you have a vice? That would help a lot I doubt you can get the same leverage with two pipes like that.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1e48a752e.jpeg Thank you Doctorhow! I bought a propane torch and got it within 5 min Just heated up the mating area and hit around the housing with a small sledge and then used the bolt by the oil drain to get the housing off by loosening it. |
Nice to see that your turbo came apart easier than mine did.

:DNow I need to figure out how to remove the innards. Which shouldn’t be too hard.
