Title: possible turbo
Post by: enginethatcould on March 20, 2010, 11:03:17 AM

I mave have found a turbo for my project at the local u-pull. I'm not sure where to go to check the boost of a specific turbo. It is out of '81 Benz, 300 class. I saw it had a "T3" on it but couldn't make out the rest. Does any one have a list of turbo specs?

Thanks!

Beware of using diesel turbo on gas engine! Diesels are much cooler, and so are turbos on them. You'd better look for some other turbo.

As i understood, the best choice would be the same volume of donor car. For 2,4 l engine the best is td04-l from Mitsubishi or pt Cruiser, Neon, anyone with srt-4 motor. Also for jeep application is better to use the smallest turbine possible, because what we are looking for is torque at low prms, but not the hight performance in red zone.
