turbo idea...yay or nay

94pacecarSVT · March 7th, 2007, 11:21 PM

i just got an idea need opinions. so i know busses and wheelers got turbos on em. and dumptrucks ect..and i know that most of them are t6 turbos...sooo im thinkin hit up a heavy equipment junkyard that would have dump trucks or old haulers/wheelers ect.. and score 2 t6's and then just buy and intercooler and piping ect..ect.. ....??

itschristorres8 · March 7th, 2007, 11:22 PM

there a bus lot near my house...im thinking about getting some and then selling them

94pacecarSVT · March 7th, 2007, 11:24 PM

where do you live and how much would you sell me 2 for?

Cricket · March 7th, 2007, 11:26 PM

a t6 is a huge turbo for a twin turbo setup. I don't recommend them from those size engines.

itschristorres8 · March 7th, 2007, 11:28 PM

single turbo?

94pacecarSVT · March 7th, 2007, 11:28 PM

how much bigger is a t6 then a t5.cause ive heard of a lot of people using t5's

97TunedMustang · March 7th, 2007, 11:32 PM

its a little bit bigger but still two t5's is just too much. and your probably not really saving that much money anyway by getting a junkyard turbo cause they're not that expensive to begin with. your money is going into piping, intercooler, exhaust MANIFOLDS, a tune, etc.

it could be used as a single setup, but dunno how much power you could really get out of it.

T6 on a 3.8...

Don't know how much your gonna make out of that

Cricket · March 7th, 2007, 11:41 PM

a t6 wouldn't be beneficial the more i think about it.

Texan_Stud · March 7th, 2007, 11:41 PM

its gonna lag nasty if you can even get it to spool at all..

ESG-642T · March 7th, 2007, 11:45 PM

Yeah buy the time you spool that thing up your gonna be shifting out of its power band....

electric doesn't have that problem

ok ok... I'll leave lol *walks back to forums games*

itschristorres8 · March 7th, 2007, 11:56 PM

lol eletric is a waste

i email andy and asked wat he thought about a t6

Cricket · March 8th, 2007, 12:07 AM

No need to email andy. I'm tellin you it will not be beneficial for our engines one bit. Look at the size of those bus engines, and look at ours. The turbos they use are for the sole purpose of torque, and economy of the bus, or truck or whatever. There engines are more than double the size of ours. It would be too much work for our engines to even to use.

i emailed him about a t5..
