I'm wondering how I can tell if I have a T04B or T04E compressor. I see the letter B stamped on the comp, does that mean I have a T04B? What measurements can i do to confirm? I ordered a T04E and I already got the wrong a/r (got 0.5 instead of 0.6) from Maxrev so I hope I at least got a T04E

Here is a pic:


Also is this hole for the water line to run thru (just checking that I have a water cooled center section)


TIA

 

Good question...they sent me the wrong turbine housing, but I sent in the wrong one, and they sent me the right one.

 

T04E has six compressor blades and not seven

 

Its an E comperssor wheel.

........i did not know that

(where is hatchblack...hes a lebowski fan)

 

thanks guys , glad to hear

 

you look to have an E wheels with a machined B housing...the 50 AR

 

thats looks to be a rather small wheel? its definitly a to4b housing, but what wheel is it? we could figure it out if u measure it w/ a caliper.

 

Yes, that turbo has a watercooled bearing housing... and you are correct in identifying the coolant connections.

 

cool thanks.

As for the compressor, I can always switch out the housing later right? Maybe I should just run the T04B... They are efficient up 300+ hp according to Revhard ? I plan to run 6-10 psi and not looking for more than 250whp at all. As of now , the specs are:
T3 turbine - .48 ar stg 3 wheel
T04B comp - 0.5 ar, supposedly 57 trim but presumable smaller now?

I don't want to deal with Canada Customs again and I'm afraid if I send it back they'll make another mistake

 

thats a E compressor housing. I use to run a 50trim wheel in a 50 a/r comp housing.

 

hmm what measurements can I do with a ruler to check out the specs? I'm getting confused now

 

that ******* sucks..i wish you had a E too..in that way i would have one aswell..
check out my dirty turbo http://www.geocities.com/trdngo/turbo.html

 

Your compressor inlet looks larger than mine? I measured the ID of the compressor inlet, it was 2 5/8". Does that tell me anything at all?

 

look here... I don't think there is a b or E compressor housing. If this is the same as a garrett catalog.

looks like you have a standard .50 a/r compressor housing.

 

nice info source on turbonetics
