your very keen on doing it aren't you. If all fails ill be after your 16t still

[dalhousie2008]

But that said id be interested to know as i could rebuild my old one.

The 18t comes with a 360 thrust bearing the 16t has a 270 so i would not spit them imho

i agree with james but if you had the 16t modded you could have the 360 degree bearing fitted or it might be fitted when modded as part of course.these are various different options you have with standard bottom end and easy to do too.

Delihouse if u still want it it's still for sale it would make my mind up to get a complete 18t or 19t or k24 lol cos I wouldn't have that 16t here lol

[dalhousie2008]

yeah ill take it otherwise the 850r will live in the garage for ever more

[bigrotch]

Pm me info when ya want it etc ok dude

As James mensions the main difference is the 360 degree bearing.

Even if the 18T compressor fits into the 16T housing I can assure you it wont fit into the 16T exhaust housing so youll need to buy an 18T exhaust.

[bigrotch]

So I might awell buy a complete 18t

I was told by a turbo firm that the 16T came with a 360 degree bearing lol

[T4Rick]

Why do they call the bearings 360 and 270 degree bearings and also i have a spare 15g and 16t compressor wheels one thing i noticed apart from there size was if you lay them flat on a table side by side the 15g wheel sits flat yet the 16t is raised?

The second one is a super back and im sure you have to have the right bearing to suit it as well
