Default found out i have a smaller a/r turbine housing than i thought!

i was sand-blasting my turbine housing today to re-paint it and after i cleaned out the inside ,i found that it has been a .48 housing all along.you could never see it before because of the carbon build-up.i just assumed it was a .63.keep in mind that the last dyno pull i made was 440whp with a slipping clutch.i estimate it to be 550whp now.i will be changing it to either a .63 or a .82.probably .82 if turbo specialties has one in stock.

i'm running a .48 a/r turbine housing with a 1.6L.. going to be just right for 400-600 hp (w/nitrous)

it isn't a honda engine, though.

Danny is running a t3/60-1 in a to4e housing. A 60-1 hifi if that's what you want to call it. Paul

If that exhaust housing will fit a T-3 out of a volvo, I'll buy it off you. My junkyard turbo is a .63 exhaust with a .42 on the intakeside. Which will be going on a d16.
