violacleff Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Ok so I went to the shop with a micrometer and here's what I got 73.66mm exducer 63.3mm inducer. There are 11 blades on the wheel. The turbine housing was a 1.15 AR but with a T3 flange split in the center. What kind of turbo is this? Is this worth keeping? And is there a T3 flanged housing that will fit. Keep in mind that it was recently rebuilt last month, so it's in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 which wheel you measuring? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 sounds close enough to be a ptrim. your exducer and inducer is flipped backward but a standard ptrim is 74.xmm inducer and 64.5xmm exducer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 So will a T3 housing fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 One thing I realized is that I measured on the turbine side of the wheel. Is the wheel the same on the compressor side or is that totally different. If so, that really sucks cause I had to drive an hour to where my turbo is to measure it. Guess I'll just find a housing that fits and deal with it, whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 You won't be able to buy a turbine housing that'll fit that turbine wheel. You would have to have a machine shop (turbo shop) lathe the housing to fit that wheel. I would be incline to know the compressor wheel size as well, it might not be even worth the money to use that turbo if the compressor wheel is too small or ineffcient. Measuring the wheel is easy, just take the housing and measure the base and the tip to tip on the wheel. 6 blade is more preferable than 7 blade imo. newer design.

violacleff Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'm gonna get the compressor measured today. What a dope I am. Anyway, check back later on if you can so we can identify what I'm messing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Here are the measurements for the compressor. I didn't measure it myself so I hope its accurate. 84mm outside diameter 12 fins total 6 big fins - 58mm 6 small fins - 58.5mm Shop emailed it to me that way. I'm guessing 84mm inducer 58.5mm exducer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 sounds like a rare to TS04/T58. Good wheel IMO. The inducer and exducer is opposite on the compressor side, so 58mm inducer and 84mm exducer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Is this a good turbo for reaching a 400-425rwhp goal? I'm guessing its going to cost over $200 to get a T3 housing machined to fit the wheel. If its a good turbo, I'll keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 flows 60lb/min so I don't see a problem getting 400RWHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 I just talked with turbnetics as well as another machine shop, and the general concesus was that it was a bad idea to try and machine a T3 housing to fit a P-trim wheel. The machine shop said it could be done with a lot of work. Looking at $280 for the housing and machining. Is this still a good route to go? If I were to just put the .58 T4 housing on it, how much do you think I could sell the turbo? I'm thinking if I could get a few hundred for it, it would be worth it for me to just buy a new turbo (T04R). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I don't know why Ptrim in T housing is so bad, I've done it and I know others have done this before. Garrett still sales Stage V wheel in the t3 housing which is not much smaller than Ptrim. Anyhow if you are going to different route, I would suggest 61mm GT35R wheel which is a gt40 wheel. Good power and not laggy which you use it with a stage V wheel. 600HP posible on race gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 I was told that there wouldn't be much material left in the housing. I just didn't know if it would be worth it to invest $280 in the turbo, or just put it together with the T4 housing and sell it. I'm not really sure what a used turbo of this kind, newly rebuilt would sell for. If I couldn't get that much, then maybe its worth just putting more money into this one and using it.
