Powerstroke garrett turbo

[NotoriousSanch]

I have 3 garrett turbos 1832255c91 sitting around. I was wondering what the performance benefits/practicality would be to use it on my 1g? Before i order everything i need to make it fit. Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure those are variable vein turbos

If it's an early powerstroke turbo it spins the wrong direction..

 

[NotoriousSanch]

So what would need to be done to make it work?

 

[NotoriousSanch]

Can I use any of the parts to frankenstein a 16g or something?

Being that it is a Garrett turbo, I doubt it would have much in common with a 16g or any other Mitsubishi turbo for that matter.

Only Justin (JusMX141) may know for sure what would be needed, but it may be a lot more work that it's worth if it's even possible to use anything at all.

If it's a 73, it spins the wrong way. if its off a 6.0 is a GTA37 or somthing. It would probably be good for 6-700whp and spool decent if you could package it and make the vnt stuff work.

GT3782VA.

You don't have the electronics to control the VGT (which is primarily operated by oil pressure on the intended application), and these turbos are notorious for seized unison rings which makes the VGT system completely inoperable....every 3782/3788 I've serviced had zero VGT function when it arrived. As a result, the turbos you have in your possession likely have seized unison rings and shouldn't be used on anything unless they're inspected or rebuilt first.

Basically it's a lot of work to install such a turbo to end up with GT35R airflow.

For what it's worth, you can replace the unison ring, and in some cases, just clean them off and re-install.

Unison ring part number is 3c3z-6c885-a. Hope that helps you with future 6.0 turbo fixes Justin.

They dont need to be rebuilt. They all have mayne 500-700 miles on them. In perfect operating condition. So i have 3 of em just sitting there. One messes up just a matter of bolting up the next. So i guess my next question is. What do i need to make it work electronically? And yes they are off the 6.0

Once I get the ring off I open up the inside diameter a little then media-blast the bearing housing and coat the ring and housing with nickel anti-seize. Haven't had a single problem since....and most of the units I serviced were coming from a local ambulance company so these vehicles were doing a fair amount of idling despite having minimal mileage, so I definitely wouldn't call this usage "typical" for a 3782VA.

Sell them and buy something that was designed for use on your car. Even if you do get one installed, you have no use for the other two anyway....so you may as well unload all three and get something that will bolt on easily and likely make more power.

I appreciate the advice, but why do i have to do what everybody else does? If its possible which anything is if you have the $ I'm just curious as to what it takes.

 

[JusMX141]

While I appreciate your desire to stand out in a crowd, there's a big difference between "unique" and being "sensible".

What if you spend $1500 on a custom-fabbed manifold, o2 housing, all the oil line accessories, and a controller for the VGT system only to find out the turbo is a complete dud? At the end of the day it's a 57/82mm compressor...there are plenty of proven turbos in our platform with the same (or greater) potential with a lighter price tag than what you could sell all three of those units for.
