Turbo BS Thread

It's like walking when you could be flying.

 

Velocity/pressure vs flow difference.

Nice. Looks like a good tranny.

 

Spoiled in socal with used parts. Auto junkyard is heaven. I was like... lets just do a T56 instead.

Missed this. To add to blackdog. On the compressor side the AR makes very little difference. The larger housing cover you can get a wider power curve from it (taken from Garrett's website). Turbine side it makes a huge difference.

 

This will make a difference, undoubtedly

 

Going to need an LS swap for that.

 

Dang. Probably for a diesel power plant.

 

Yeah, my guess would be diesel power plant. Looks drastically different than a ships turbo.

 

Optimus Prime's turbo. Duh.

 

Water pump?

 

Up and running but hit 11 psi so I bypassed the boost control which was dialed all the way down and now 6 psi . Is this coloration normal

 

You talking about the exhaust housing? If so that's normal.

Wow That's a lot of T clamps u got going on there lol

 

I know right

 

Almost as many as me!

 

6 psi is really good when you have everything working right. It's not crazy fast but fun. Just a little background on me in the early 90s I loved to drag race street and at the track built the car myself ran 11.90s on nitrous. that was fun too.

 

Is that a CXRacing Turbo? If so then that is probably normal for theirs. On my precision and BorgWarner they did not change that color, nor have the Garretts that I have messed with which have these stainless steel TiAL housings.

 

Yes it's a cxracing and the Precision that I have didn't change color ether. So far it's good

 

What motor oil is everyone using ?

 

Mobile 1 full synthetic 0w40

 

Minimum 40 weight.

 

5w-40 Rotella T6 diesel oil, bosch filter
