compressor a/r is .42 exh side a/r .48 its oil and watercooled 5 bolt exh flange wondering what this turbo is capable of

 

I can't help you, but why did you buy something you know nothing about?

 

Classic: "Because it was a steal of a deal!"...

start measuring inducer/exducers of both the turbine and compressor wheels, photos of the inlet and turbine wheel and housings. Know what trim is.

If any of these words sound foreign to you, please go to the FAQs to know what they mean.

Good luck.

 

i know what it all means just didnt wanna take it apart and yea i know its a .45 trim turbo and i have the ar sizes listed
and yea it was just to good of a price and the size that i wanted and as a plus it wasnt an ebay brand now i just wanna know what garrett turbo it is and it has a t3 flange on it im thinking its like a gt2860 not sure

 

Looks like one of the older journal bearing GT28s (as those only came in a 5 bolt Ford-style housing). but only way to know is to get those measurements and report back.. The pictures do help a bit, however. About 280hp or so (if that's indeed the Journal bearing GT28s)

 

nope its a small t3 typically off of a Volvo or Saab. the housing ar on both sides is a dead giveaway


what motor is this going on and what power are you trying to make? because this turbo won't break even 250

 

well its going on an rb20det in my 240 but the guy i got it from his buddy had a teg with a b18 in it makin 260 at the wheels at 9 psi so i figured few more psi on a 2.0 and i should get closer to 300 and thats my plan i didnt want a big turbo i wasnted somthing that would be spooled instantly but if it dont get me to were i want ill just go bigger next winter

 

Possibly. But that housing size and style is much more common than you think. He should confirm so that he has additional knowledge about what he's putting on the car.

Or not....its up to him.

 

i dont really wanna take it apart i emailed garrett i guess i dont know if they can tell u by the sn and pn or not

 

No choice. You want answers, but not willing to work for them? There are literally hundreds of thousands of part numbers that are on several databases, in which you couldn't possibly get an answer as though its a SKU number at Target.

Gotta remove the housings, and measure.

Here's what you need: (All measurements would be best in Millimeters and not inches)




What Trim means.
