D16Z6 vitara's, tuner toy rods, 450cc blue tops, ebay cast t3 manifold, turbonetics delgate wastegate, dsm 1g blow off valve, aem fuel rail, aem fpr, 62mm tb, ebay intercooler, obx lsd. Turbo is from 03 ford powerstroke. Is this turbo to big for my set up?

 

im not too sure, but if it is extrnally gated shouldn't you block off that hole for the old wastegate? i may be wrong or your d/p may do it but i was just wondering. but i say use it

 

need to get 5 bolt flange haven't made down pipe yet flange will have block off

 

ok thats what i thought/wondering.

 

The turbo is perfect, I love high end spool...you'll love it too. Thats a good size

Just go 3" open downpipe and with the bigger injectors you could go alot faster safely.

 

It's a .70 a/r TO4E cover. Looks to be a T31 turbine wheel. Compressor is probably around 56-59mm. That would make it a 50 or 57 trim most likely; probably 57. I'd have to research to find out for sure though. I have the same exact turbo here at my house that I forgot about until I saw this thread lol. Now I'm stoked because I have a sweet turbo around that I can sell off or trade or use.

 

HOUSESHOES FTW *****!!!

 

I have the exact same turbo but with the .63 ar turbine housing instead of the .82 ar housing. I will using it got my build d16z6 also.

 

is this a laggy turbo? Can i put smaller exhaust housing on there thats a direct swap

 

The T31 (aka stage 3) isn't too laggy. Down really low in the rev range that turbo won't do much, but it's nice up top and in the middle. It has pretty much the exact same wheel specifications as the PTE SC34. So yes, your turbo is a 57 trim. If you want to go to a smaller turbine housing (probably a good idea) you'll just have to find a turbine housing that can accommodate the stage 3 turbine wheel. Some of the turbos came with a slightly smaller 69 trim turbine wheel as opposed to the 76 trim T31 turbine wheel, so you'll have to measure it to make sure. .48 a/r or .63 a/r are both good sizes.
