Looking at buying a tv51 garrett, with a divided turbine housing, i cant find anything on this one for info, besides the fact it was used on detroit diesels.... Anyone? Bueller,? anyone?......Max

 

Anybody, Nobody...... hmm guess I am gonna be bustin cherry again.....

 

Looks perfect !

Probably has a R trim wheel inthe back (same as what I am running)

Measures 79mm odd on minor dimension of wheel. AR is probably 1.22 knowing trucks, again same as what I have on mine, could be a 1.05 housing, either way I would buy it !

You can machine up a T04 housing to fit it if your real desperate to change the A/R on the rear but I would not worry about it.

 

i want one

 

hee...... Thanks guys.....79 mm eh..... Thats f'in huge..... I would surmise that with that large of turbine , definetly good for higher boost pressures.. I am looking at it for use on a full bridge project... I had a line a hks t51 spl, but that deal fell through, so I will attempt to buy this thing....
Razorback, if it sucks ***, I will make you a hell of deal on it......Max

 

Ok, so I bought that turbo last night......Now I have to redo everything else, something tells me that a single walbro is not gonna feed that beast.... 4x1600's here I come....Max

 

take the ruler out and make some measurements and post lots of pics

 

So how many turbos do you own now Max?? 4-5?

 

define hell of a deal?? im going big turbo in within the year. so if i have the money i may have to take you up on that offer

 

Umm, I should probably liquidate my turbo collection pretty soon...
I have a S4 Stock turbo
a t04e 57/60 trim
2-Tdo7-25a's
and now this TV51...
I am gonna try the td07's out and see what they boost like, then I will move up to the tv51...
If I see a hks t51 or t88 come along I will buy them to just to try..
Razorback, let me run my new turbos, and whatever I don't use, you can pick from that..Max

 

no problem. id only be interested in the big ones anyway

I saw that site, couldn't find any maps, but it does have the parts break down and stuff.... There isn't alot of info out there on that turbo... I have a link for a 630 hp skyline that is running one, and we talked to Panspeed about it, they were using them 5 years ago in a kit, but they no longer had any technical detail on the turbos..Max

 

im seriously wondering if my half bridge would spool it..

 

I may have to hook my antilag back up.....Marcel Burkett is running something similar, I am unsure of the differences between the TA and the TV series, whether its just a change of bolt config, or another wheel family..But as Rice Racing said, a t04 turbine housing, could correct any spool problems..I would really like to see a map though, just to see where the boost sweet spot is, and what kind of airflow I can get out of it..Max

 

i wouldnt care if it didnt boost until 4-5k anyway..

 

u can get that or a similar turbo for around $900.

 

It depends on what gear you are when say that 4-5 k is ok, In second I would like it to boost by that, in 3rd low 3's in 4'th it should be immediate....
Running these size of turbo's lag is always gonna be there, I guess its just what your threshold is for lag..I found when the boost hits like a frieght train at a higher rpm, its a litlle more of challenge to drive, but you get use to it afterawhile, I worked very hard to get my p-trim to boost like stock, but with alot of simple mods and some tuning, I was able to chop over 1200 rpm off the spool rpm in the lower gears, the TV51 is probably gonna be alot more of a challenge to spool and drive, but I am looking forward to it... This turbo is part of Panspeed kit, so I am not sure if its total off the shelf garrett or not , I really want to see what the wheels measure..max

 

i have a huge one im selling, its a TV7301. if anyone is interested send me a pm and ill get some pics.

Man... I just have to ask where you find out some of this stuff.

 

I think Rice has a batcave full of magic turbo stuff....

 

Heh, batcave full of turbo stuff. That sounds about right somehow.

Should I even ask about flow from that sucker?

 

You don't measure a turbo like that in conventional numbers. You use the industry standard of 3 ft and then judge what size animal can get sucked in from that distance. The rating of this turbo is "Large ******* dog" meaning other small critters in the neiborhood don't stand a chance when that thing spools up.

 

im looking for the "small horse" model

 

Hmm... "elephant" turbos?
