So lets see if anyone on here can identify this type of turbo I've come across and am considering a project with...





Low boost


High boost


any takers?

 

I don't know a thing about turbo's, but are we talking about a boosted H23-V project here?

 

lol maaaaybe, who knows

I've just seen very very few setups use this type of turbo and I'm all about new, unique car mods. So this intrigues me lol.

 

just one thing.











DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Variable Geometry Turbo?

 

oooooooooooooh pretty.

 

Looks like a Garrett turbo to me?

 

T3?

 

Looks like the turbos that come on the powerstrokes before they went to the bi turbo setup...... That is a garret of course

 

Fixed.

 

Yeah, Variable geometry was also the first thing that came in my mind.

 

lol cheater, you never even answered that text! haha.

 

Variable Geometry Turbo is correct, its capable of variable amounts of boost. Its like having a twin turbo setup with 1 turbo.

Under low load or lower rpm's you can set them to have a lower amount of boost with those vanes closed, and as rpm's climb and you want more boost the vanes open up. So you can have boost from right off idle to redline . No wait to spool, less space needed than twin turbos with linear power

They're quite popular with diesel's, I'm in training and we started diesel class and i came across this and a light bulb immediately came on in my head

 

sorry, I forgot

 

looks kinda big...

 

That's what she said

 

lol... i would love to see how this performs, only issue i see if used as a daily driven car, alot of wear and tear will be on the motor from "constant" boost... no?

 

yeah but when you have an AEBS sleeved block meant to take 60 lbs of boost constantly, the motor deals with it just fine

 

in that case, why you asking? DO IT lol

 

damn everyone is boostin but me!

 

lol awww poor baby, should i get you your milk?

 

ahahaha i loled on that one.

 

lol actually i'm not boosting just yet, i'm weighing my options and staying N/A till at least april.

 

word either way keep it up ahaha.

 

what are you in training for?

 

I was in an automotive technology program that i graduate from on the 22nd, and through that I got a scholarship to become a BMW Master Tech Engineer. So basically i was learning all the shit a mechanic needs to know since i already have a PSU engineering degree, and BMW hooked me up from that since i did well in my programs.

 

Fixed

 

Baller

 

Damn, get it man nice degs. lol

Sounds awesome bro, can't wait to see what comes of it.

 

So did this guy ever turbo or was it talk like most of the “boost dreamers”?

 

 

Gotta train em' like in Training Day!

 

Got a tube of this for sealing it. You can also use clear plumbers caulk, but the silicone will handle the vibrations and movements better.



Got a used Black and Decker jigsaw on Craigy for $20. Came with blades so I cut the Lexan to fit the sunroof hole.





The bols may be too short as I forgot the gas between the two parts of the roof where the spotweld are. Those 4" intercooler couplings will be cut to size and bolted to the lexan and car. The two thicker metal peices will be used to make the hooks for the rear part of the sunroof.



This is the hardware for the OEM sunroof visor. I will fashion the rear brackets in this way to fasten the lexan.

 

Always wanted to do brake ducting.

 

Its cheap to buy and easy to install. For a brake pioneer like you, would 100% A+ recommend it.
