does anyone know what the smallest turbo on the market is and how much it costs and maybe a really small intercooler its for a project but not what you think. i just need an answer no questions. thank you

 

garrett gt15

 

i was working my daily landscaping job the other day and we were using one of those Bobcat things and it said "Turbo" really big on the side. did some investigating and found one of the smallest damn turbo's i think that ill ever see. all plastic charge piping, etc. looked pretty cheap but im sure it served its purpose well. id look for something like that along the lines of small *** turbo's.

 

any idea on the cost or where i can find one? would i be able to buy one of those turbos you were talking about, from that bobcat?

 

garret turbo you suggested to expensive worth moer than the whole project
, thnks though.

 

you can get one for free. just tell garrett you are using it on a formula sae car

my riding lawn mower is 19 hp stock, so itll beat urs

 

the stock 1.8t turbos out of vw's are extremeley tiny.

 

not as small as this bobcat turbo

any othe suggestions on other cheaper turbos

 

Electric? Have one made?

 

you could always use a smog pump off of a domestic V8...

I think hitachi or IHI make a super small turbo used on 3cyl diesels in Europe.

BTW that turbo from ebay has alot more than 10 hours on it.

 

do you know what those turbos are called from the 3 cylinder engines thanks

 

no but I know either Hitachi or IHI make them

 

anyone else have any info

 

An Ihi vj-14 is tiny.

Search around for a Turbo from a 3 cylinder chevy sprint.

 

VJ-14 also came on 1.6 liter turbo Mazdas 323 gt/gtx and mercury Capri but the still make like 200 hp befor they give up the ghoast probably too big but prety cheap. The smog pump isn't a bad idea for a belt driven blower but a vacume pump off of a diesle will work good also just hook up the "wrong" port to get the compressed air out of it.

what about the turbos from say a 3000gt or 300zx, those things are very small too.

 

i think im going to go with the geo sprint turbo anyone know where i can buy one
