A to Z Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 (edited) Hello! Since my turbo project is going well, I wanted to ask if any of you have any thoughts as to what I can expect from my T3/T04 turbo with .50 A/R 48 trim) with a .63 turbine housing (trim 74.2) on my 2.9 stroker? Since I like quick spool, I think a turbine with more vanes might be nice. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Brad-ManQ45 Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 I don't think you have your trim specs right. Trims are usually whole numbers. The 74.2 just so happens to be the measure of one particular turbo e wheel's inducer diameter - and it is for a GT3076 turbo. A 50 trim compressor section is one of the just right compressors for our size engines in the normal journal T3/T4 series turbos. If you want lower spool the the T350 turbine (stage III) would be perfect. If you want more top end power then go with a stage V turbine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A to Z Posted November 28 Author Share Posted November 28 thanks. T350 turbine Stage III....if you had to guess, at what RPM would it fall flat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A to Z Posted November 28 Author Share Posted November 28 Exhaust turbine is 10 vane, 64.8 inducer /55.8 exducer. Seems like its a quick spool setup already. can it product to 6000 RPM on a 2.9 stroker L6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 It'll be choked off a bit and start to spool around 2800 with full spool around 3200(estimated). Stage III turbine is like a 68 mm inducer and 62.35 mm exducer. The compressor wheel you are describing is awfully close to the 50 trim T04E and is a good match for the engine if not turning over 6k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A to Z Posted November 30 Author Share Posted November 30 choked off a bit.....just hard to get spinning?, or are you talking about the stage III will be that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Top end will be choked off a bit. Your power will be in the low to midrange rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A to Z Posted November 30 Author Share Posted November 30 well I hope so. I like my power under 6K RPM's thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 You may not GET to 6k with any power... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A to Z Posted December 1 Author Share Posted December 1 (edited) I don't really like taking her over 5000 RPM really anyway. The cam is stock, and its a stroker with all the power where I like it.... mid range. If this is going to give me that type of power, frankly I couldn't ask for more. Its a high compression engine (11.5 to 1), and this is meant to just lightly turbocharge it. I am at 6035 ft. elevation, so basically lose a point and a half on the thin air. This is a Draw through setup on an old crown turbo kit that has been updated. I have a snow performance water/methanol kit with 2 nozzles to cool it down and give it a bit more octane....and a J&S Safeguard Knock sensor with individual cylinder timing pull. It's mainly for looks and a little bit extra push....it's a cruiser. Edited December 1 by A to Z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
