shadowed turbo
 

I have a Garrett turbo off a dodge shadow. Anyone know what size it is?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

That should be a 42 cool side 48 hot side.I got one cooming that I bought on ebay.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

so youre saying a 42/48?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

Yes.That what it should be.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

How much did you pay for it? Would this turbo be a good swap for a T25?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

I paid 100 for it.I dont know what the a/r is on that t25 but if the a/r is higher on the t25 i would go with that. A /48 is fairly small.It will spool up quick but might top off early in the RPM depending on your engine redline.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

The T25 is already on my car. The other turbo is physically bigger than the T25 so i dont know if its a 42/48. what other dodges had turbos and what size are they?

thanx for the help

Re:shadowed turbo
 

Shadows and Duster are the same car but one is a Chrysler and one is a Dodge I believe.86-89 Caravans have a teo4h as well as the Lebaron but I wouldt reccomed one of those.They have a wierd flange and are way to small.dodge colt is turboed too I cant remember wich turbo it has but I know if you want something bigger than a t25 that is too small.Are you looking for a direct replacement?If not you could make/buy an adapter plate and go with a t3 turbo of a Saab Or a Volvo wich are alot cheaper!

So what am i going to look for in a turbo swap? should the compressor wheel be the same size? if its not, is it a big problem? what other problems would i run into?

thanx again

Well you dont want to downgrade!so yess the compressor wheel and exhaust housing should be bigger if you want to make more boost.Just remember that the higher your A/R on the exhaust side the more lag you will get but the more boost you will make on the top end if you have a high reving car.Turbos with a small A/R on the exhaust side are used for cars with low red lines like up to 6500rpm or so.What car do you have?
