Can You Say Big Turbo..............

[BullseyePower]

They are T-6 actually!!!!

 

[Otto J]

No good then,T5 is the biggest i can run
But would rather stay T4

Here's some 6 second 4 and 6 cylinders running the BorgWarner Extended Tip turbos. Vinny Ten and Brent Rau Videos

 

[BullseyePower]

We can machine the T-6 inlet down to a T-4 size and stud it.

 

[BullseyePower]

Are you sure you dont mean T-6 is the biggest, like the Thumper series turbos? I have never seen a T-5 header or turbine housing.

 

[Otto J]

Not really sure on the t5-t6 thing,Not really sure on the Machined down T4 deal,These guys we race with are sticklers for the rules.T5 turbos add 100#s to the car.
If they hear Machined down to a t4 its still a T6.
It would be interesting to try one for sure

 

[BullseyePower]

I'm sure T-6 would fall in to the add #100 class. However, we have some of the same class limitations in import street so we machine down the inlet to a T-4 size. Its T-4 all the way, however if they pull off your turbo for inspection they would still see the T-6 volute size.

Is the Turbine housing inlet on this machined down housing the same dimensions as a true T4?. If so, would this machined down T6 housing still support more power than a true T4.

 

[BullseyePower]

The flange size would be T-4 but the volute would still be a T-6 so the HP and flow would be higher than an out of the box T-4 housing.

Your T6 flange is the exact same size as our "Buick" T5 just different verbage.

 

[INTHEEIGHTS]

This is the way im going to mount the turbo instead of the other way i had it mounted it allows me more room i still want to run the stock hood .

 

[PaCemkr86]

is that a BBC ? how about some more details on this.. Ive always liked seeing carb turbo setups..

 

[John Wilde]

Mount the radiator flat and put the turbo behind the grill!!!
