I Got A Turbo! What Do You Guys Think?
I bought this turbo a while back for my LT1 S10 and now that plans have changed I thought about using it on my T/A. Here's the specs:
Compressor
Inducer - 69.72mm
Exducer - 106.68mm
Turbine
Exducer - 85.12mm
Inducer - 94.11mm
I couldn't find any A/R ratios or anything on the housings, but I can tell you the compressor has a 3 1/2" outlet, and the exhaust has a divided housing & 5" v-band outlet. If it looks close enough, I think I'm going to try it. What do you guys think?

But, like I said, my plans changed.

My first post was half-joking, but seriously, any turbo with a 3.5" compressor outlet and 5" downpipe is ENORMOUS. You really need to speak to someone more knowledgable about your overall goals/plan. I don't know what turbo you have, but I have a feeling it is MUCH to big for your plans.

That turbine side seems huge in comparison with the compressor. Not to mention the 5" inlet and 3.5" outlet means you probably have a huge compressor a/r. I'm guessing at some point this turbo was installed on a large diesel and won't work very good for an LS anything. Its quite mismatched for what you'll be wanting to do with it, lag will be awful from the dynamic seals required for diesel use and the compressor/exhaust wheels are probably older than me.
