How do you identify what size a turbo is?

 

what do you mean by size?...how big it is or how much power it makes?....and what company are you looking at ?

 

That question could mean so many things. Can you be more specific about what you mean by size?

 

Garrett....I want to know how to determine what rebuild kit to buy.

 

Getting the name of the turbo would be a good start. then a google search should be your next step. I assume your looking for max psi you can push it to? or Power gains?

 

I have already searched google for this info. I do not know too much about turbos. Like I said, it is a Garrett, and I can see .60 and .63 on the inside of the exhaust and compressor housings. But when I search for new rebuild kits they ask for like T3 or a GTsomething. Maybe what I am looking for is the model of the turbo??????

 

well i could find anything to match those numbers specifically.....they seems to be compressor a/r's and turbine a/r's.....it looks like you should be looking for somewhere around a medium sized turbo somewhere around a GT2560r or maybe a bit bigger....what are you rebuilding?

 

I am just looking for a rebuild kit for this turbo, it is in great shape, but it has been sitting for a while. I want to open it up and clean it out and I figured that I might as well replace the bearings and seals, and whatever else comes with a kit. How do you determine a GT2560r? Or a T3 for that matter.

 

you said it had .60 and point .63 on the flow a/r's...i dont believe they make it anymore...they might but i could find any on the site that had those a/r's.....perhaps you should give garrett a call....and also i have a question for you...since you are around turbos some do you know if an internally or externally wastegated turbo is better?....is there any downsides to an internally wastegated turbo?

 

Hey thanks for trying to help. I don't thing that I would be the right guy to answer your questions about wastegates, seeing that I can't even find info on mine. Tahnks again for the help.

 

you mean trim size? sorry coming into this late

 

I quess I mean trim size. Better late than never.

 

your not gonna fit anything much larger than a gt28 back there, u kan fit a gt30....but its gonna take a lttl work, or a smaller housing.

 

It's not for the SS. It's for a different project. I am just kind of new to the whole turbo thing.
