big ass turbo

[kamikazemkiii]

i found a air research turbo that came off a desiel truck and was just wondering would it be difficult to make it work on my 7m

specs:
A/R 45 compressor housing
A/R 87 exhaust housing

anyone know if this would work?

How well can you weld?:sarcasm:

Or if its the answer I think it is, how much do you want to spend?:naughty:

i would not use it. Its very small compressor match to the turbine. These kind of dieselturbos work well for its intended use.. but its nothing for 7m in my opinion. All the money and effort is better to put on a working turbo.

pretty good
what problems would i expect to run into?

first off, you need to know what footprint it has, specifics(how much air does it push a compressor map would be great) and physical size. if you can take those into account and make it fit, with a proper tune theres no problem running it.

diesel turbos work for more then just diesels, There alot of people running holsets off of diesels with good results. measure the diameter of the wheels as the a/r doesnt tell much of anything about the size of the turbo.
