info needed on turbo

[kowalski]

what its good for and what its worth.
1.15 AR exhaust
.50 AR compressor side
6138-82-8200 is the part number, its a garrett unit. I will have more info in the morning. as it only came to my door an hour ago andd its almost 3am...

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

What motor are you trying to use it on?

[kowalski]

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 are the wheel sizes they will tell you what you need to know

[kowalski]

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.

[Gunni]

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,

[kowalski]

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

[Gunni]

by measuring them maybe?

[kowalski]

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

[Gunni]

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,.

[kowalski]

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.

I am going to be using a holset when I go to those #'s, prob a hx35 or hx40

[kowalski]

so something off a cummins?

[asubimmer]

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

[kowalski]

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...

I am going to be using a Garrett gt2860RS for fast spol upp and ok HP good for 300hp. Compressor 47.2mm 60.0mm TRIM 62 A/R 0.60 turbin 53.8mm trim 76 A/R 0.64. your turbo had an A/R 1,15 it to bigg for any low respons. you coud be go for gt2871R for more HP. all the Garret GT are similar to diesel in spool upp.

[kowalski]

thanks for the info, i wasn't planning on using this turbo. I was just curious as to what it was good for. I still havn't had the time to take any measurements of it tho...

[asubimmer]

for what its worth to you, I am more than likely going to be using a gt28r. We'll see...
