Can someone teach me, I think I have made this post before but I dont think it was on this board, iI cant find it, anyways what are turbo trim sizes how do you read them? what is it all used for is basically my question, so someone please explain it to me.
(ex) Wtf is a .40 or .60?
Thanks.

 

this belongs in forced induction search ht, the info is on here too, but our search feature sucks, so good luck finding it.

 

HT will have a bunch of ******* come out and flame me, I dont have a good enough relationship with the people there as I do here, although some of you can be ******** too :P.. But overall I like it here, maybe because I feel at home around the **** and *** jokes that go on all the time.
So I prefer to learn about it here.

 

couldnt be anymore blunt than that...haha

 

well on hmt a bunch of straight people will flame you for it, so you're fucked either way. check out my sig, I did it just for you.


but since I'm a nice guy:

the .40 and .60 you're talking about are ARs, not trim sizes. trim size is the size of the little spinny wheel thing and the opening that goes to that spinny wheel thing. AR is the area ratio, what that is is the ratio of the area of the housing to the distance it is from the center. so if you measure out 1 inch from the center of your turbo, find the part of the turbo that has a center point at that distance, and find the area of the circle right there, then that's your AR. ---- it, let's make this post useful, I'm going to go get some pictures, in paint of course, brb.

 

i said 'search' ht, as in use their search feature. i don't have one post on there, but i search and read there all the time, i guess you could say that i use ht like a drunk ----- who didn't see it coming. by the way, someone on ht has my screenname i had to register on there as 'THEREALprojekteg', unless i registered a long, long time ago and forgot my password and had a different email address

 

 

Here is a decent explanation with pics plus more terms:
