properly sized?

You guys think this turbo is gonna be a good match for a 3.2 at 7psi? the 63 a/r version btw

 

[Toolman]

The .82 will give you a broader range, the .63 will run out of steam up top. BUT, that .63 will boost nearly instanstly, which equals tons of tq down low.

sweet, picked this up for 360

Is it possible to upgrade this to an 83 exhaust?

Yea you just have to swap the exhaust housing.

just found out the compressor side was upgraded to to4b s trim. It also has a turbonetics exhaust housing. i dunno what that was upgraded to but it is a 5 bolt ******.

low end tq is where its at. I vote rock it out with the smaller one and see how you like it.

Low end ftw. That's why a SHO engine is more fun than a Duratec 3.0, even though they're basically the same peak power.

You guys excited to see another turbo sho in the next few months?

 

[Toolman]

Oh yeah!!

I read the title of the thread and thought,

"That's what she said"

/leaves thread

 

[Toolman]

I read the ad, he claimed the turbo new was $1500. Is it BB?

 

[Sho Amo]

I guess. It has fittings for oil or water if that makes a difference. I'm no expert that's why I keep askin you tim lol

Edit: just got an email back, oil feed not ball bearing. Hes sending me the build sheet.

 

[firebat45]

Ouch, not such a good deal if it's not ball bearing.

 

[Sho Amo]

wonder why he thinks it was 1500?

 

[firebat45]

Maybe he didn't? He might have just been tring to "sell" the turbo, so he might have embellished facts a little. The screenshot at the top of the thread, did you get that or did he provide it? It says ball bearing as well.


It's not garbage just because it's a journal bearing turbo, still seems to sell for around $1100 new, it'll just spool slower and be a less efficient than a ball bearing turbo. You can always upgrade to a ball bearing CHRA or full turbo once you've got it setup nice.

i just found that on google. I actually think the one on the top of the thread is what my turbo started out as and it was upgraded to an s-trim. Im pretty confused about it as you can tell. I dont really care that much. im just going to run it for a while, since im only going to be running about 7 psi.

Thanks for the input guys!

If you go to the .82 housing and feel its laggy you can add timing down low to increase exhaust pressure which will spool the turbo quicker. It wont spool like the .63 but it will be better and wont impede higher rpms.

nice turbo

thats exactly the turbo im using in my sho, its perfect for me, the car runs sweet and has a ton of torque,

 

[Sho Amo]

Thats awesome! do you have any pictures of it?
