HELP, I need photos of any size Turbos!Mainly Inlet side.

[Rob Scala]

Thanks, I'm trying to Identify a turbo I have. Trying to look at
as many pics. of turbos as possible to try and match it up.
Heres what I know, exhaust housing is a .63 and the inlet housing is a TE series(one peice). Trying to match up compressor
wheel size wise. Any photos would be great, Thanks.

turbo id,

outside of looking at the housings, the only other way to id a turbo is by actually measuring the turbine and/or compressor wheels.

for that, you'd have to take the housings off the center section and use a dial caliper to measure the wheel's outside diameters.

Thanks for the help so far, I'm suprised that not that many guys have photos of there engines or turbos. I'm starting to think it is a te44 or something very similar. Besides the pics on gnttype.com
anyone have a pic. of either a te44 or a 49 or even something similar maybe a 33 or 34? Thanks

Thats my TA33 on gnttype. Nice, isn't it? But almost certainly not on your car, they're made for hot air cars and use the stock hot air housings. It wouldn't fit your car properly without other modifications. So process of elimination just eliminated the possibility of a TA33. What markings are on the turbo? If it looks similar, it might be a 44 or 49. Try measuring the compressor wheel and inlet and you should get the size.

A TE44 would have a non stock appearing compressor housing, while a TA 49's compresor housing would look stock.

If you think its a TA49, take off the inlet bell and measure the inside diameter of the inlet (even roughly would be fine), and we can narrow down what the turbo is.

It most definately is a TE series turbo. Compressor housing is one piece. Inlet mouth is quite large but yet it reduces quite a bit to the compressor wheel. The blades or the size of the compressor wheel doesnt seem much larger than the stock one, but yet the housing is much different, much larger.

Gnttype.org has photoguides for most popular turbos.. check it out at http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/pictureguides/turboguide/turboguide.html

Post a pic of your turbo.....

TB

or, count the compressor and turbine blades,
measure the size of the wheels.
