Here's a decent turbo for the guys wanting upto 280hp and super fast spool.. Only thing is you need an T3 flanged manifold

yeah there reasonably common. Very common on larger capacity diesels. They can be had for about £450 new!!

[Sophia_Bush]

you know looking at the prices of the 20 & 22s they are quite reasonable new but then again if I can find out exactly which cars they came off I'm going on a hunt to get one in next few weeks dam you lol!!

[dannygti]

What turbo you using now gav?
Only thing I can think of that could be an issue with these diesel turbos is they could run out of puff higher up the rev range, don't think this will much of a problem on the 8v but on a 16v I'd want a turbo that will allow me to use the revs

just using a r5 t2 now which lets be honest with what I am running it is more than enough if I was going 160+ then I'd look into changing but if one of these come up cheap enough why not.

You know with these turbos the 20&22 I don't think it matters to much I did read some where these new turbos like the ones we are talking about are designed with both applications in mind so should be ok don't know if in practice it would work though.

As said if I can get one I will give it a go one thing is for sure depending on the spec down pipe should be easy to make as one of them only use a 3 bolt flange but is flat faced unlike the saab ones

loads of diesel cars use the gt22

[blackie_2k5]

2.2crd pt cruiser also run them

think they are a dual purpose turbo as gav mentioned but not 100% on that, i was looking into them a while back, seems loads of ppl in the states rate them highly, but they arent meant to perform too well when making under 160bhp

[dannygti]

They should work well on both petrol and diesel engines, it's just these turbos seem to run very Small exh A/R.. I'd choose the larger exhaust housing if I had the option

This would help flow at higher rpm

[Sophia_Bush]

good website that I'll have a proper look through it during the week see what cars I can go plunder

[saxostuart]

what does the td04, gt17 etc actually mean? is there any theroy to it or what? also people talk of say a t3 flange is this a certain measurment or style???

[tom_lloyd_4]

Yes a lot of the codes mean something or another..

For example gt2860r means, GT= garret ball bearing turbo, 28= size of the turbo, 60 = 60mm compressor wheel etc that's just a simple example.

danny, what's you're fews on the V04-trim IHI RHB32 turbo from the daihatsu charade? It's on a vtr with gti-6 injectors at 4 bar with 2inch boost pipes ect...

Still to figure out what de-comp plate to buy and then book mapping!

[tweeqd]

T34 only it doesnt come on boost untill 4k

Tbh mate I don't know much about that turbo.
I would say the turbo was designed for a 1.3 so with your extra capacity you could take advantage of a slightly larger turbo, so at least if you did want a little more power your not choking the engine.

Yea, then all hell breaks loose
You were building your car for drag racing so spool time's not as critical

[tweeqd]

plus no lag with direct port nos


the T2/T25 i had was awsome on my VTR, it was responsive as hell (would of been loads better if the CR was higher than 6.5:1) was on full boost by 2k so had no lag when driving, id recomend it to anyone wanting to turbo a sax.
one thing worth noting about these turbos is the inlet side, ive fitted my old kit on to a 1.4 and the only difference is the 1.4 has an S1 inlet, it doesnt come on boost now till 4k.

well tbh at the price of my set up I can't complain, I do plan on going forged with a larger turbo next winter when I can afford it as I just want some form of boost for summer. By the engine choking what do you mean? I am only going to get the small turbo mapped at 15ish psi

[blackie_2k5]

i dont think you can run that turbo at that boost mate

ill go check the specs...
