Part number says its a turbo off a Komatsu diesel motor..probably a forklift.

What motor are you trying to use it on?

Yeah i know what its off of, just currious what its usable for other then that. My brother just brought it home cause he heard i was planning to turbo my car and he had this thing kicking around, so i was hoping to trade it or sell it and buy what i need.

edit: btw its off a loader.

what do you mean, i put the rates on the first post. again, i don't know much at all about turbos... so i' in the learning process.

the wheel size in mm�s
i.e the diameter of the wheels, it will tell you how much air the unit is supposed to flow,

oh, yeah i duno, where do you figure i get that info from?

Gunni · « **Reply #7 on:** January 28, 2007, 06:48:03 AM »

by measuring them maybe?

kowalski · « **Reply #8 on:** January 29, 2007, 03:19:04 AM »

would this not require taking it apart, meaning it would not be properly balanced after?

Gunni · « **Reply #9 on:** January 29, 2007, 03:23:48 AM »

no, you can use a little metal item and fit it across the wheel, then measure the length of it, or if you have one of those sliding calipers you can put that in a use to measure,.

hmmm, thats a much better idea. I will do that when i get home tomorrow... anyways, what do you figure is a good turbo for 20, and or 25 psi on the m42, with as little lag as possible, and within a reasonable price range.

so something off a cummins?

yup, diesel turbos are really efficient. They are big enough to get all the power you want of of them too.

haha yes, that they are... that they are... maybe i'll steal my bro's turbo off his powerstroke when he buys the turbo off the newer powerstroke...
