[crash89]

Hey guys, like the title says I happend to come across a Schwitzer turbo while I was looking for a Holset. Ifound a guy on craigslist that had a 5.9l cummins and he said he had 3 turbos! So I thought sweet 3 holsets to choose from. Said he wanted 50 bucks for a turbo. Well when I got to this house I thougth I was gonna die, no joke. Middle of BFE for sure! Anyway he showed me the 3 he had and come to find out they werent Holsets. Apparently this guy is a "Diesel mechanic" and had turbos off random deisel motors. So heres this massive turbo in front of me, minimal up and down play and none in and out. All I know is this thing was huge. Ill have a pic of serial id plate here in a bit.. I guess Im asking, is this useable?

From what it looks to me on the ID plate.. Serial id- 4LF-754/L2972-263.. Part num- 157446.

It looks similar I think to this one in this link

BW's all look very similar from the outside.

Post some pics of your actual turbo, not just one it looks like, and I'll try to help you out.

I didnt actually buy that turbo because I wasnt sure if Id be able to use it. It seemd too large of a turbo to be pushed by a 4 cyl ya know? Im just kind of curious if it could be used, I could still go back to the guys house and get it for 50 bucks. Or just stay in the market for a holset.


Here is the only picture I took of the actual turbo. I should have taken another of the whole unit..

4LF is the model number. It came on Caterpillar 3406's.

Here is a link that talks about them a little bit.
