ok the number on the backing plate is T-13991. it is from a f max kit for a 2001 h22 prelude. hot side has the #20358-3 on it. polished housing has 20192 /h on it. It has some shaft play and need a rebuild kit for it. any help would be great
thanks

That turbo would be a T04B Super H/Stage III Ceramic Ball Bearing Turbocharger

Thanks what kind of power would that turbo be capable of making and any ideas where I should get a rebuild kit

Peak air flow is just under 50 lb/min of air or roughly 500 CHP. As for rebuilding you'll need to figure out if its a standard shaft or big shaft unit first. If its a standard shaft there are no parts left to rebuild it. If its a big shaft since it's a ceramic ball bearing unit it would need to be sent back to Turbonetics for a rebuild

thanks for the info i just got off the phone with turbonetics they say it is a big shaft, do to it having the gold backing plate. they say it will be around $660 to rebuild it due to the creamic ball bearings. so now my question is can i just swap all the parts over to a non ball bearing center section. like part#20360-F? Not trying to half ass anything but the shady shop i delt with

sold me a kit that was way small for my engine. so a bigger turbo is going to be needed, but i have been messing with this car off and on for like 3 years and just want to get it together and tuned till i get the money to go bigger. and putting $660 in a turbo that i am not going to keep long term seems senseless

thanks for any help

Unfortunately no its not that simple as changing bearing requires re balancing the rotating assembly.

Would they be able to convert it over to the journal bearing or is that out of the question? the 290 in labor I can live with but 370 in parts is more than I'm willing to pay seeing as a complete non ball bearing center section is like $86

The wheels could be moved to a journal bearing unit possibly.
