Help identifying a turbo
My dad called me up and told me he had found a turbo out at his shop off of a 800ci irrigation engine and asked me if I wanted it. Well I figured this thing would be huge and of no use to me, but I go to pick it up and here it is:
I am guessing the compressor housing is a T04 with a .6 a/r, and then all the turbine side says is a/r 1.32D.
I know that some kits use a T04E/R housing, how would this turbo compare to that also how would it compare to say a T60-1? Would there be any use for this except in a custom setup? Thanks.

OK well it has these clamp things that you have to bend off and crap to unscrew the bolt and I don't really wanna mess up this turbo cause I am an idiot, but, I did meaure the minor compressor wheel size and it is ~2.625 and the turbine wheel minor is ~ 2.562
Which these measurements match up best with the HKS T04R/GT63, but it is a garrett turbo, does that matter? Is it safe to say that because these two measurement matched up that this turbo has the same specs as the HKS T04R/GT63? Or do I just need to quit being a ***** and crack it open? Thanks alot!

Quit being a ***** and crack the comp housing off!..lol.. j/k. FWIW its a TO4B looking turbo to me (8 paired comp blades and a T04B comp housing). It looks to be the exact same one that has been all over ebay and other shops. Its a industrial turbo for a diesal application. Most likely a V-trim T04B comp and p-trim turbine (with a HUGE 1.32 A/R turbine... can you say slow spool?). Not much better then 350 whp and not a stellar spool rate on a 13b.

Heh thanks, yea I figured that exhaust side a/r was big, and I guess it kinda makes sense its coming off a huge engine and all. I had actually thought about doing a custom setup with it on a 350 V8, but not sure if it is big enough to make the power I want by itself.
