do you have any other pics of the turbo? and any way I could talk you into taking off the

compressor housing and measure the compressor wheel?

I have an HKS T45s turbo that is probably similar or the same thing as that. .72 a/r compressor but a .90 exhaust housing. HKS runs there

own exhaust housings, and makes a custom part that fits in the front of the compressor housing.

let me know if you want to sell it. I start making boost around 2100 rpm not much its pretty dead till at least 2500 rpm where it wakes up,

full boost by 3500~3700 just kind of depends on where you start. My car is my daily driver and I love it it has plenty of low end around town.

these pics are old when I was putting it on the car, running a diff manifold now.















Thanks,

James

I received one of those a week ago and have completed 99% of the install , I still need to finish modifying the oil return line ( problems clearing the very large compressor back plate ,)and making a new discharge elbow . Mine is a bit different in its configuration , it has a 0.6a/r comp. housing , 5" suction withe the diffuser ring in there too , 3" discharge , 76mm compressor wheel , 1.22a/r turbine housing , tangential and divided and 70.8mm turbine wheel .

That turbo is truly massive , one of the largest i've seen , it is sized to flow 92lbs/min of air (950-1000hp) , I would not reccomend it for street use unless you have some "special " porting done to your motor , mine is half bridged with large (no sleeve ) exhaust ports , I am also using a completely devided tubular exh. manifold to aid in spool up.

That pic came off ebay. Some dude in Australia was selling it. So I can't take any measurements, sorry.



Just look at the lighter in the background that will give you a good idea as to how big that bitch really is
