A diesel truck turbo?
I was talking with a mechanic I know and he kept saying that he has a friend with a stock 1999 Ford Powerstroke diesel turbo on his FC. I looked it up and the turbo is a Garrett with a 1.10 A/R compressor and a .84 A/R hot side. I'm not sure as to what that means , but from what I gather, that’s too big for the 13B to efficiently spool.
This is a load of BS right?

in stock form that would be laggy, but with a good port job it should spool just fine. I have an AiResearch TO4B with a 1.15 a/r divided turbine and a V-trim compressor that came off of some diesel motor. I plan on running this (when I can afford the build) with little worry of laggy spool. I intend on either doing a large street port or maybe a bridgeport (haven't decided yet) and using a long runner fully divided manifold.

oh, wait i just read your post wrong. that powerstroke has a big *** compressor and a small hotside. Wierd, diesels usually have large hotsides due to the amounts of air that they pump out. I would think that a .84 a/r hotside would choke all but a small 4-cyl. diesel.

i took a look at the new powerstroke twin turbo setup at a shop the other day.. very interesting i might say! two turbos sitting perpendicular - not parrellel - to eachother on top of the block. the primary having a large hotside with a small compressor and the secondary being just the opposite. soooo here's where it gets interesting:
the cold side of the primary feeds the hotside of the secondary for stupid fast spool up, and its only the secondary that pushes boost into the engine.
i've been thinking about trying this for a long while now, and now i see it in production... for once i had a good idea and someone else thought of it first

He spools it to 10psi @4K
And if you think that is big, I have a GT42 with a 1.35A/R Exhaust and it spools 14psi @ 4.5K

OK... truck turbos are not that bad...!
Sounds good… Rx7_Nut13B what kind of hp #’s are you and your buddy putting out?
I have to say 4K is a little longer then I want to wait for boost. At the same time, I see guys running the stock twins @18psi pumping hot air into their motors, and I don’t like that idea. I’m looking for a setup that gives me good volume at a lower pressure. I’m aiming at 400WHP with boost (12-14psi) arriving at 3 to 3.5K.
Anyone have any budget ideas?

I would think that you could use the primary turbos charge in the intake for additional volume and some additional pressure.
