turbo ??

[phayze]

ok well i got a turbo but the intake side is smaller than the exghaust side is that bad or good or nuteral

[deevergote]

How about telling us what turbo it is that you have first.

[phayze]

garrett t04

[deevergote]

Trim? AR?

T04E? S? R? B? Z?

[phayze]

garrett airesearch t04 than a bit ferther down it says E 23

[deevergote]

I assume it's a t04E then. I don't know what that 23 means.

The A/R should be stamped on there somewhere as well.


Anyway, to answer your question vaguely, since we still don't know exactly what you have... the sides don't have to be identical. It depends on what model turbo it is, AND if it's a hybrid that someone built. Many people use a T3 turbine section, with a T04 compressor section.

hey deev don't you love these kinda questions.

saying that one side is bigger than the other isn't much info, ie. turbine is a/r .90 and compressor is a/r .70(THESE ARE JUST NUMBERS) would be good for high rpm power but low end would suffer.
whether this is good, bad, or neutral is all depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

like deev said somewhere on the compressor side or turbine side should be a a/r ratio

if not the turbo should have a product or serial number that we could look up if you have that available

[bcjammerx]

damn there is bunch of numbers and shit to learn...then there is the map...we my head hurts

eh it is not really THAT hard but still...

The funny thing is... I'VE NEVER INSTALLED A TURBO ON A CAR IN MY LIFE! I owned a T25 for a few weeks before I sold it.

It's amazing what a little reading will do.

Like this:

i found the a/r cant really make it out but i think it says i-750

[deevergote]

The A/R will be something like .60
i-750 isn't the A/R, for sure.


Clean it up and see what you can find. In the meantime, do some research on what all this stuff means. If you're saying i-750 is the A/R, then you clearly have no concept of what that means. It would help you greatly to learn all you can about this turbo, and turbos in general. Especially if you plan on putting it on your car!

thing is i was just wonder cause i got this turbo for a 180 and its never been on car the guy was using it for project for vaccum so i was like why not i could always flip it if it was no good but i just always wonder if the intake side was smaller than the exghaust would it matter but you awnserd my question so thanks
