Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

I am needing a very small turbo, what is the smallest that can be semi-readily found used and what vehicle(s), and/or engine(s) does it come from? Maximum mass flow rates needed for the power goals will be around 17 to 18 lbm/min.

1.8t VW's there tiny

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

depends on how small. the TT 3000gt's have pretty small turbos

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

It's going on a 500cc engine that will turn up to 11K rpm. The GT12 and GT15 garrets would be fine but I'd rather spend a bit less. 17 to 18 lbm/min is a very small mass flow rate. What type of turbos are the stock 3000gt units so I can find compressor map and check if they will fit this application.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

I think you need to give us some more info. What kind of powerband/peak torque are you looking for? How much does this vehicle weigh? Etc...

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

they are a tdo5.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

I had a VW Bug turbo that was pretty damn tiny, not really worth putting on the car.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the 3k/stealth came with TDO5-9b turbos???

Heres a good site with a few MHI and garrett compressor maps and other stuff that we should know but few care about.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

it may be but on the compressor housing it just says TDO5

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

Weight should be around 250 lbf, power goal is 125 max at the crank.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

i say go with the tdo4. thats what i meant to put, dammit. it will meet your goals. i even happen to have one that ill sell. i havent checked the shaft play, but it had no problems when it was on the car

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

Try a turbo from an audi 5000, those are really small.

this site sells a small turbo, although i was quoted around 1k for it last year.

Look for IHI RHB3's.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

Um dude....The audi 5000 came with a K26 externally gated turbo.
The pics show a K03 from a 1.8L.
Yeah. :1

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

the smallest turbo i ever saw is the kp31 from kkk. it comes stock in the SMART car.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

I mearly mentioned that the Audi 5k turbo had a small turbo and mjm sells a small trubo.

please review you rhetoric of sentience structure and comprehension before you post again.
rtard :1

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

ihi rhc3's off small diesel engines. generators, bobcat's, etc.
smallest readily avalible that i know of. everything else people keep saying are gigantic to those.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

Actually no your wrong. The k26 the 5K comes with is physically larger than a T3, but smaller than a T4. The K03 makes a T25 look huge in comparison.

Posting your comment about a K26 and then showing a pic of a k03, hmm yeah that makes no sense whatsoever. Aplples and Oranges ----------er. ::)

Ripping on me for SENTENCE structure and COMPREHENSION when you cant even spell properly? Yeah, ok im a RETARD! :1

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

The turbo(believe it's an IHI model) from an old Chevy Spectrum turbo is very small, I believe that would also be similiar to the stock turbo used on the Isuzu Impulse I-Mark turbo car...OH, and you must be an older guy to know about the movie Two Lane Black Top?? Good flick 4 sure :y

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

You have to weld a t3 flange on but this is brobably as small as you get....

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

Yep, the kp31.. That thing is no larger than my fist. I mean, you can barely stick your finger in the comp inlet!!! no wonders why this engine makes around 70 hp boosted!!!

another cute little turbo is the new gt 1241.
here, i took a picture of them with a lighter to show how ridiculously small they are. (i swear, that lighter is used only for size comparisons!!! nothing else!! :6)

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

That lighter has resin on it :6 :l

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

I saw a smart car turbo on ebay, although it was (and I think they all are) integrated with the manifold, meaning you'd have to cut it off & weld on your own flange.

Re: Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
 

could a 125cc engine spool any of theses.
