I've got this turbo charger from a Chevy small block single turbo set up. It spins freely and no FOD has travelled through it, so with minor maintenance it may be useable.
I read some numbers of the intake side: Serial: FF0413 A.I.D. P.N. 465210-9 Model TO4B35 Can anybody tell me what this is, how much boost will it build on a 283CuI engine, etc. I am sure it's a piece of crap, but I would like to build a crude carbureted turbo charged small block at some time. |

Turbochargers are designed to work with a specific displacement engine. The pressure map must map the normally aspirated volumetric efficiency of the engine. Otherwise all you are doing is making noise. Too small of a turbo will come up to max boost really quick and you will get lots of off the line power, but nothing else. Too big of a turbo and you get the infamous "turbo lag" problem.
If you want to turbo a Type IV (and I will say it first... "You can't turbo a 914") get the turbo from a 80's vintage Dodge with the 2.2L 4 cylinder. The turbo map fits the Type IV really well. As for what you have, the numbers on the tag should tell you what it is. Turbos start with a fairly standard size for the turbine section, and the trim alters the pressure map to fit a particular engine. |
