TD05 12B Turbo

[Gee-Es-Tee]

Whats up guys? I ran a search on this... but no luck. One of my friends brought down a turbocharger from Wisconsin recently. The turbo is a Garrett TD05 12B from an early 90's Volvo I believe. It was intended to be bolted onto a Honda, but now I have it. I was wondering if anyone has heard of such a thing being bolted up to one of our cars? By the looks of things I would need an adapter plate, a custom downpipe, clock the turbo, etc.. etc... also, its quite strange, with the BOV on the compressor housing... Sorry no pics, my digi cam is on the fritz. Maybe soon I could post some pics if that would help? Thanks for any type of info.

BOV on the compressor housing? Are you sure its not some sort of internal waste gate actuator.

It's gotta be the wasgate accuator.

 

[TurboAnything]

i think its a pop off valve. It helps regulate boost.

 

[sweet97]

Flows 320CFM @ 15 psi if you could get it to, boost that high. WHY? Because it was free? If it were a fish you would throw it back. I suggest you adapt it to your John Deere. Mark

Which is called a Wastegate accuator which was already stated by kottyking.

OK. First off, this ^ doesn't answer my question at all. Not at the very least. Believe me, I would have much rather run a search than posted a brand new topic. Most of the time the wrong people post, and help never makes its way.

I apologize for being sarcastic and ask for forgiveness. It was uncalled for and out of character.
just what are you attempting to do with it? Do you really want to installiton a DSM? Mark

 

[redboosted97]

actually it is the bov not a wastegate.......its located on the outlet of the turbo that goes through the intercooler or straight to the throttle body.....you could use it with an adapter and a new intake pipe with no Bov flange........I don't know why you would though i don't believe it flows that much.....and I'm sorry for incorrect punctuation in advance as I don't see the need to be so proper posting on a forum.

Ill second what Red said, it is a BOV on the compressor housing. My grandfather has this turbo on his Volvo wagon, haha.

 

[silver eclipse]

I dont want to sound like a meanie.
I see the wastegate, and what appears to be a flange on the housing. I belive you when you say it has a BOV thats goes there, but where is the BOV, like I said I see a flange but no valve

No problem, don't worry about your sarcasm, its okay. Also, my intentions of installing it on my DSM are very hesitant, hence me posting this topic. I just didnt want the job to be nothing but "hack and slash" in order to install it, but I also wouldnt mind a little customizing


Also, I think it is the blow off valve. I appreciate those pictures up there! That is the EXACT turbo, the only thing different with mine is the BOV is actually bolted onto that flange! The wastegate doesn't seem to have anything to do with it by the looks of things... and wouldnt that be a great idea to mount it there? Just imagine all that hot air its releasing ALL OF THE SUDDEN!

 

[blinded]

I'm not sure why you think the TD05-12B is a Garrett.

Since it came off of a Volvo, maybe try looking up some info from a Volvo place. Try turbobricks.com. I think you'll find that not only would installing this turbo not be a straight swap, but it's also not an upgrade.

 

[40oz]

It's a Mitsubishi turbo, and it's definitely not worth any custom fabrication.

 

[Turbo Talon DL]

I've never read about a Volvo turbo, let alone one that size, being installed on a DSM. It would just pump out a bunch of hot air anyhow the way some people like to try and push boost Theres a reason why nobody has installed this turbo, but I wont say anything, you can figure it out

 

[psychlow]

12B's are extremely small turbo. The only engine I would put that on is a small displacement engine that wasn't already boosted.

That being said, all you would have to do is put on a 14B or 16G's compressor and turbine housing on the 12B's CHRA, and it would swap directly into a DSM. I'd probably yell at you for being stupid and not using at least a 14B, but it's your time and money.

Thanks Gee-ES-Tee. I see you are driving a NA CAR. Honestly I would save for a turbo DSM if it were me. You do have the supporting mods except for the Fab work. 320CFM is just not worth the effort or cash. It's your ride so enjoy it asyou like. Peace, mark

Dude, what the hell? I don't own an N/A DSM! If you pay attention... at all... you'd see that N/A over there on the left means "Not Applicable" for my CITY, not my CAR. Look again, it says GS-T up there.

Thanks guys, so far, the turbo is cool to look at, but otherwise useless, yes? Haha.

 

[sweet97]

You should join NABR. That's the site for guys who are perfect. I am not, apologized once for showing my imperfection. Many times throughout the day I am not perfect. Too bad you consider your place NOT APPLICABLE.
Oh well. Mark

 

[girlpower92]

i got the same compresour housing sitting in my basment its has a bov built in to it i got it just cuzz i never seen one b4

 

[put2gether]

Well this 320cfm turbo is an upgrade from your 250cfm t25, but unless you have the tools, and supplies available... welder, grinder, cutting tool, pre bent pipes, o2 bung, etc., and the skills to pull this off without shop help, you'd spend more fabbing this turbo to fit than you would buying a used 405cfm 14b (which by the way flows 85cfm more than that volvo turbo, that only flows 70cfm more than your t25). Make a list of the things you would need, then estimate a cost for them purchased, and fabricated. Next think about the man hours. If it's anything more than 150.00, and a Saturday afternoon, I'd forget about it if I were you.

 

[DiamondStarM]

I agree with put2gether, for the cost and time involved it doesnt seem as effective as any of the bolt on turbos even if it was free. Original, yes, worth it, not really. If you decide to go with it though, dont forget to post pictures of the install and let us know how it goes.

p.s. anybody else notice the mitsu stamp on the WGA in the picture of that "volvo" turbo

 

[Gee-Es-Tee]

Well, like I said, it was only something I was considering since the turbo seemed as if it had a little more potential than that, but I don't have as much time as I would like for custom fabbing of any sort right now. I still need to finish opening up the airflow in the car right now... I'll worry about a turbo when it comes time. Probably a T28 or an EvoIII!

Are you kidding me?? THATS THE WASTEGATE ACCUATOR! cmon guys. The difference is its silver. I dont see how you guys think its the bov. That nipple runs to a vaccum line and then to whatever is controlling the boost. I know you guys know better than that.
