What turbo is this?

[EclipseMike99]

I got this turbo from a friend and not sure what it is or what size it is, im guessing a 70 trim but not sure. I'm building a 420a-t but not sure if i can use this turbo, can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

"70 trim" does not exist.

It's a Chinese knockoff of something that is far too large to run 8psi on a 420A.

What would happen if i did Put it on?

It may not spool until very high RPMs at such low boost?

It would be like a VTEC. Wait..... Wait.... Wait.... Then.... nothing.

Your car would be non-turbo until 5000rpm or so, then it would begin to feel like you have a slight tailwind.

If you'd happen to run this turbo at a boost level where it would actually generate airflow, you will most likely melt down your engine in a short period of time....if the turbo doesn't fail first.

Could not have said it better myself.

+1 Why is it that people think they need the biggest freakin turbo they can find and then they buy the cheap chinese knock offs? Buy a good quality turbo with a trim and size that works well with your mods and goals... enough said.

Don't worry about the rude replies(especially when they don't even have a turbo to begin with), its just that you probably could have answered this question by doing a little bit of searching.

I'm running a Turbonetics t3 'super 60' in a .48A/R housing, I am very happy with this turbo compared to the ebays I had before. You do get what you pay for.

There really isn't a "best" turbo, but just remember that its all about efficiency. Like others said earlier a huge turbo won't do shit at the boost levels you'll be running.

There is no stock 420a turbo when it comes to dsms

If you're gonna stay at 8psi I'd take a look at one of these: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/420a-turbo-conversion/401615-td05-12b.html

you think i can pull one out of a volvo in a junk yard and rebuild it for cheaper then buying one off ebay or where ever?

 

[agarc023]

I don't see why not. Just gotta find a rebuild kit
