Ok just recieved my turbo but i don't know the exact specs of it.
So far i've made out it has these numbesr

Serial #: JBM 121826
Part #: 466159-5004

It's a T3/T04E it looks like , and has a .60 A/R turbine housing, .63 stamped on the exhaust side of it. The turbo inlet is 3" and the outlet is 2 1/2"

what size trim is it exactly? is it a .60 trim ? i hope so thanks

Jimmy

maybe garret 60-1? , T-1?

 

well just looked it up it WOULD'VE been a 60 trim, but the ****** scribed a 4 in place of where a 3 was so i guess its really a 57 trim! damn *** wipe! lol

 

ok so i took pics

 

bump for posted pics

 

measure the compressor wheel and you will know. maybe it was changed out for a 60 trim cover and wheel.

 

i was thinking the same, i doubt anyone would go through the time to scribe a false number into it.

To be honest, it would probably be easier to sell a 57trim than a 60.

 

It is a 57 trim.

 

The part number seems to have changed to that of a 60 "trim" turbo. No way to tell unless seeing measurements by removing the covers.

 

when measuring is the information on the garrett site , what i would go by? like measuring the inducer and exducer? this would be my first time any help would definitely be nice!

 

measure it and find out

Scandalous! Did you buy it from someone on HT?!

 

ebay.... lesson definitely learned

 

well cracked it open , unfortunately my camera was out of battery so i couldnt take any pics. But it was a 60 trim on the compressor side, i couldnt get to the turbine wheel side. But thats interesting how the internals were swapped out? is that even possible?

 

So they just swapped the compressor wheel and cover most likely. It's very easy to do but, with most turbos it needs to be balanced again as an assembly. I dont see any places where weight was removed from the nut on the compressor wheel. I'm not sure if that exclusively means it has not been balanced...just pointing it out.

I would bet its just the regular 'stg 3' turbine wheel that nearly all hybrid t3/t4s sport. measure the end you can see, if you want to be 99% sure.

 

well it supposedly had 2500 miles on it, i mean i can spin the wheel freely no rub or any shaft play

 

Just because you can spin it by hand doesn't mean that it might be off balance. remember, these things are spinning in essence of about 90,000 rpms when pushed.

Here's the way you tell which is which..

 

how do i get it balanced? theirs a place around here called michigan turbo's but i heard nothing but bad things any place on h-t that does?
