Cool stuff... outta interest, any explanations or points to a site with a good explanation of the difference between a 270 & a 360 bearing, and why the later is so much improved?? I'd think about doing the same with my old K24 but as it's still in such good nick I think it'll be living on... (David, if it's still in good nick when it comes off the car, and you're in need then u have first offer mate).
Cheers

Ok! It was a bit of a struggle but here is the rest of it.
This is what greeted me once the centre housing was removed from the turbine housing.Comment

The turbine housing and shaft. Look at how carbon has built up on the inside of the heat shield.Last edited by twoqu; 30 July 2006, 15:56.Comment

The turbine shaft. Completely shot! There will be no data from this!Last edited by twoqu; 30 July 2006, 15:58.Comment

The centre bearing housing after a quick wash off with some parts cleaner.
You can just make out the circlip that secures the bearing in the housing.Last edited by twoqu; 30 July 2006, 16:00.Comment

One of the two bearings removed. You can also see the other circlip in the housing. The bearings are sandwiched between two circlips.Last edited by twoqu; 30 July 2006, 16:02.Comment

Remove bearing. Again the other circlip can be seen.Last edited by twoqu; 30 July 2006, 16:04.Comment

Here is a comparsion between the RS2 shaft on the left and the ordinary K26 on the right. Notice the discolouration on the RS2 shaft, sort of straw coloured. I have not cleaned the other shaft. Thats exactly how it came out. It wasn't in operation long enough to get any carbon deposited on it.
Also you can see the two piston ring seals used at the turbine end.Last edited by twoqu; 30 July 2006, 16:08.Comment
