Default This arrived at work today... ** pics **

I wish this was mine. But its a new turbo for our shunt truck. Garret A/R 60. t3 ?

This thing is HUGE. its atleast the size of a soccer ball.!

Some weird things about this turbo I noticed. There's NO wastegate (external only im assuming), and its only OIL cooled. It's off a Freightliner 450hp tractor.

I took pics with the digi but I cant get the links to be complete.. just copy and paste each link in your browser window...

I believe that is a t4 by the shape of the exhaust flange.

t4 is correct...man...thats like a turbo you would go to put on a h22 or an s2000 motor...hell i still even wouldnt put a t4 on those motors....t4 is race only for honda motors man...t3 is just good enough for any honda motor.

Highly doubt that would spool on any honda 4cyl, even a built one.. The exhaust housing looks to be well over a 1.0

All the big pro FWD cars are running T78's/72's and some have slightly larger, but nothing with an exhaust housing that large.

lol.. it says A/R 60 on the compressor housing.. whatever that means. Its off of a inline 6 freightliner tractor trailer, ,450hp diesel. weighs about 25lbs. basketball size.

NO WASGTEGATE.. not even external. I asked the heavy equipement mechanic.

Diesal turbos have smaller Compressors, with huge *** exhaust housings.. try to get the AR on the exhaust side.

Yup, no wastegates, most all semi/tractor's etc are like that.
