Schwitzer Turbo?
Thanks for all the help guys.At least I can sell it knowing abit on how to install this thing.CAn seem to find the oil feed on it tho.I see a return so there must be a feed somewhere.Ideas?
It looks like an older Schwitzer/BW model of some sort. If you've still got the little ID plate on it, get on http://www.turbodriven.com and find the part # to reference it up against. You'll then find the engine and manufacturer of the truck or diesel engine it belongs to.
The turbo 87GTR currently runs is a Schwitzer/Airwerks S300 compressor w/ a John Deere S300S002 centre housing and 0.83 A/R T4 divided turbine housing. The wheel was clipped 15 degrees (against our wishes) with some metal machined out of the back of the shaft assy. It does pretty well on that engine but the hotside I believe is too small for very high end power (power begins to dip off past about 7krpm) or the clipping was a bad idea.
It sounds exactly like what a turbo does on a diesel truck -> like a high pitched whistle, just like on the Scoot 3rotor car w/ their HKS T51. From a 2krpm 'punch' in 3rd gear, his hits full boost (target of 1+bar) at about 4700rpm.
It made 399.9ft/lbs torque and right at 500rwhp at 23psi of shaky boost just a few days ago. These diesel turbos move _ALOT_ of air typically, and are thankfully designed to be run at high levels of boost for sustained periods of time, but I fear that their lack of aftermarket and interchangability make them less viable options as opposed to Turbonetics or Precision Turbo, etc. It's a hit and miss game; you either find one that works well or you find one that's extremely laggy (i.e. "salt flat special") or one that hits too early and falls off on the high-end.

Can you get a bigger hotside for it? Say 1.0 or 1.15 ?
