Junkyard Single/ Twin Turbo FAQ List

[ocshaman]

Hello, i have a stock EFI 302 and i want to run 6-8psi.

Don't worry about PSI until the kit is done

i was wondering if i could just run 1 small TBO344 turbo from the 80's t-bird turbo coupes, or is it just to small to run 1?

Way to small, unless you split your block in half, then it would run fine

Also what diameter piping would u recomend?

2.5 exhaust, 3 inch cold side

Last do i have to use a cross-over pipe or can i get away with running the turbo off 1 side of the motor?

No

*edit*

I figured it out

Te04h do spool quick, but it's very small.  Works great for a twin 4 cyl.  May be a bit restrictive on the exhaust for an 8 cyl.

Sweet, the thread.  How about turbos for single set-ups, and what's needed?

IE, the Powerstroke turbos and the oil hook-up "issue".

Although not DIY/JY-

Single Garrett GT42's are a good choice. They are cheap (under a grand), have modern wheels and aerodynamics, and are of a larger frame size (HD bearings).  2 sizes of off the shelf units, 85 and 96 LB/HR.  

A local 3300 lb  mod motor car has trapped 155+ at low boost on a 96 lb/hr single.

I Have 2 turbos from a junkyard They are warner IHI ISHI turbos I dont no if they are any good an can be used. And can they be upgraded at all. I am twin turboing an 98 GT

[tiny4lx]

How about a H1C off a cummins for a single setup? Im lokking for like 12-14 psi. And hot side what is a good size?

[Gbodyolds]

how efficient would a t44 modified be on a mustang (single turbo set up )  would it be worth the work or am i waisting my time ?

it may be better to start your own thread and be more specific maybe to get some answeres.  Not sure myself for an answer, just start another thread.  As you see, this one has become a deserted place

Im pretty new to this turbo idea, but i was wondering, what are the benefits of a Junkyard setup vs. buying on? IE. costs. ALso after reading the list of tubos availible to use for a twin setup say on a 5.0, would 2 turbos from a 2.5 engine spool up faster then a single made for a 5.0? I i were to goto a junkyard and pick up 2 identical turbos, would they needed to be rebuilt? Great site here with alot of info. Thanks

I probably missed it but:

Volvo:

94-97 850T5: td04-15g
94-97 850LPT: td04-13c (I believe if memory serves)
98-2000 s70T5: td04-16t
2000 V70R: td04-19T
2001+ S60T5: I believe is either a 16T or 19T
2004+ S60/V70R: KKK24
99+ S80T6: Twin td04-12b's (absolutely useless)


There are SOME .62 exhaust sided Garrett T3's found on older RWD volvos. ALL volvo turbos use a T3 flange regardless of make/model/year.

Hey guys I have been reading this forum for the past few weeks and I have to say it kicks ars!!  Myself and a buddy at work are lookin into the junkyard route as we both have 5.0L kickin around not doing much.   The list of turbos that would work is huge.   Most of the cars would be very easy to come by and to get parts off them would be cheap to say the least.  Now for my question, If you could choose the top 5-10 turbos from that list what would they be?  I would hate to think I could have got turbo A for 75 bux when I could have paid 80 and got turbos that were way better.  What I am looking for is minimal lag, 11-12 second car in the 1/4mile.  This would be a street car too.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thanks for your time.

tp-38 Powerstroke
Hx-series and the other CUmmins turbos

t4 from the big f-800's and the likes
You can find the T04's on some heavy duty fords (F700's and bigger), some farm tractors, International's ( DT466, DT444, these are like the ice trucks, budweiser trucks, Pepsi trucks, and some U-hauls). The different years had different sizes of T04's. Seems that the newer models have the larger turbos. I've gotten two from the Transfer Truck repair shops, they both were off international trucks, one was a T04B 54 trim and the other was a T04E 57 trim

Tell me about this oil hook up issue.

 I have my old holset from my 1990 dodge cummins, New cartridge is cheap. I have been reading, ALOT on this site. Should this make good horsepower and at wht boost levels?? Do I need an external wastegate and where to buy it from? Sorry if this is an annoying question, I will keep reading.

[Cracky]

what kind of spool times can one expect from a twin t3 (or t3/t4) set up compared to a small single like a 60-67mm turbo?

any info is appreciated. thanks

[hybred]

all depends on the size of the the t/3's

[Cracky]

ok..lets do a few scenarios'.


1.twin t3 60 trims with .48 a/r's from some turbo ford

2. twin t3/to4e 50 trims with .48 or .63 a/r.

3. t04r(66.5mm) or precision pt-67. w/ comparable exhs sides..something like a .81 a/r.

[tim]

what about the turbo from a 95-96 7.3 power stoke ??

[over2tonsoffun]

Ok, this may be stupid question. But what about a turbo off of a small industral diesel or semi? for either  single or duel?

Thanks
