hello!
Today i pressed the shaft out of the motor, everything looks ok nothing damaged.
I made some photos, my shaft has the same scratches like on WB's, i'm not sure why maybe they out some glue on it?
I'm finished with the battery package and BMS, I made a drawing of the new shaft and the back housing, if everything goes like plan, next week should be finished, then i can assemble.
How about the balancing? I never saw on the forum that who/how made it? maybe i missed it, but it is pretty important.
On my drawing i made the shaft peaky on the ends, then i want to 3d Print a holder where i can put the whole assembly in it, at least i can static balance it, but how should be dynamically balanced?
The magnet it self is balanced too, See Photos.
I have some friends with a turbo balance machine, but they are not sure if it is possible to put it inside right

the compressor wheel is balenced. The motor magnet/assembly is too. But, I'm pretty sur thats not a big deal balencing a solide piece of steel (motor shaft). The magnet assembly and the stainless steel sleeve have a lot of glue. So this is the part to balence. Since the motor shaft is solide and straight, the balence should not be a big issue. If you put an other bearing on your back plate, you should not have to much problem. The magnet is support by 2 bearings, on front and the back. The impeller part should be support too by a bearing
the compressor wheel is balanced with the original turbine together, because we disassembled the original turbo, the comp wheel is now out of balance. The shaft is a solid so i dont think it have to be balanced, but the shaft with comp wheel should be.
i am not planning to put a bearing in the back plate because it is just 0.5cm away from the front plate from the motor where the bearing is,
maybe change the bearing from to motor for a better one?
SKF made some pretty good bearings with high rpm tolerance

Remember my design with the back plate? You don't need a ton of space for the bearing. I have a back plate of 1/2" and all fit

I fixe my wheel with a normal left hand nut

Yes! I've made a shoulder and this shoulder hold the bearing
