turbocharger sizes

BWAL · September 14th, 2007, 10:48 PM

lets say i bought a 77mm turbo (just using examples here) and installed it and everything, and later decided i wanted a much bigger one, lets say a 101mm turbo.. what all would be involved in changing the sizes? would i need different piping and everything else?

TurboLX · September 15th, 2007, 01:20 AM

Yes it would

You would need bigger charge pipes, down pipe, intercooler, new tuning setup, bigger oil lines, etc...

why do you ask?

BWAL · September 15th, 2007, 06:05 PM

cause i have thought before about putting a small turbocharger set up on a mustang for daily driving but if i ever decided i wanted to race it seriously, i would upgrade it.. i just like to get as much info on something as i can before i jump on it

that is where hybrid turbos shine.

hmm.. "hybrid turbos"

i've never heard of that before.. can you go into more detail?

TurboLX · September 15th, 2007, 06:31 PM

Hybrid is 2 different sized turbos put together

take the compressor of a T4 and put a T3 exhaust housing on it to build more pressure at the same RPM range than a T3 would

then you have the T3/T4

BWAL · September 15th, 2007, 06:34 PM

so its still a single turbocharger, right?

TurboLX · September 15th, 2007, 06:35 PM

yep

87StangLX · September 27th, 2007, 08:03 PM

where could one buy a hybrid turbo, or do you have to out it together yourself?

TurboLX · September 27th, 2007, 09:07 PM

You can buy them from Garrett, Turbonetics, etc....

87StangLX · September 28th, 2007, 11:38 AM

yea i found a twin turbo kit that says that turbo description is 2 T3/T4's is that what you're talking about? if so i think i may ge that kit.

TurboLX · September 28th, 2007, 03:13 PM

not sure if it's any good or not but it's got what ur lookin for

BWAL · October 10th, 2007, 07:46 PM

$749.99 seems a little strange for a 5.0 turbo kit..

TurboLX · October 10th, 2007, 10:53 PM

Nice find, that looks pretty decent

WOULDN'T JUST GO FOR THE CHEAPEST. YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR A LOT OF THE TIME. I SAY HP PERFORMANCE OR HELLION. THEY ARE PRICEY BUT THEY BOTH HAVE A VERY GOOD REP.

TurboLX · October 11th, 2007, 03:25 PM

I like HP kits as well as quicktime and B&G

homebrewed · October 11th, 2007, 07:17 PM

So Turbo... What the verdict?????
