It's a big turbo came off a military truck.

 

SPECS ARE COMP. SIDE 91MM MINOR 67 TRIM .96 A/R 5 1/2 INCH INLET 3 1/2 INCH OUTLET EXH. SIDE IS 110MM MINOR 1.32 A/R F TRIM
Seems to be also called a t18a90
This is all from a quick google search of the part number.

 

Yeah, I tried that as well but maybe i was searching it wrong. Thank you

 

I think these were used on the 5 ton military trucks.

unless you've got a massive turbo diesel laying around or a super serious huge v8 drag car, it won't work lol

 

Yeah. I think im going to list it on ebay or something.

 

Change out the turbine housing and run it!!!

 

Now that I can see the pics better, it looks like a turbo off of an older Detroit 60 series diesel, before the went VGT with everything.

It has a T04B compressor wheel, which means it will love very high boost (50-60psi) and have a very narrow compressor map as far as it's flow range between surge and choke.

 

So is that good? Im going to clean it and rebuild it and throw it up on ebay for I dunno $400.00

 

Pop the housings off to measure and make sure the data I found is actually accurate, it was off a random website.
Mostly I was hoping to find out that it was bigger so you could send it to me for the primary on my truck, lol

 

sooo, basically give it away. It will cost over $400 in parts alone to try and get that rebuilt. Detroit diesel allison parts are not an easy bunch to find. I've seen this series also on Municipal county buses as well.

 

It appears to be in good shape, there is ZERO shaft play and it spins freely, ball-bearing turbo?

 

Nope. It's not a ball-bearing cartridge. Best to sell it as is and let the chips fall where they may

 

well im gonna just clean it all up and oil it. See how much I can fetch.

 

Brand new those are about $4500!

Clean it up and sell it as is.

 

Are you kidding????

 

True story. They were used on big military rigs. Both 12 and 16cyl applications.

That's a 1.32A/R T6 housing. Massive to say the least. I bet it weighs in at 35lbs. lol

 

yeah its a beast! shoot id be happy to get 400.00 considering I got it in a trade for 4 cases of military MRE's

 

beast you say? i seen bigger! how about a turbo the size of a 13 once rim lolz.

 

We have 4 turbos here at work and each are the size of a mid 90's Ford Fiesta. lol

 

I want one of the new detroit 60 series turbos so bad... be fun to turbo my big 1 ton dodge morgue van (5.2 V8) lol, although I suppose I could do that with the turbo my friend gave me off a off a whistler M35A2 (was going to keep as a spare when I finally got my deuce) or the gt37v off the 6.0 powerstrokes

 

Stay away from the GT3788va junk. I've had nothing but headaches.
