Hey guys I have recently come across a Garret turbo from a 7.3L Ford diesel truck. I have a few specs but not certain to what it all means in the big picture, but i also wanna know what the name of this turbo is (T66, T60?) Can you tell me what the name of this turbo is and if its a decent single turbo for a 356 w/ a vortec stealth ram

turbo specs.

Hot side
70mm inlet
72mm~ outlet
A/R .84
Cold side
67mm inlet
64-65mm outlet
A/R 1.00

Can anyone give me a little background on this turbo and what its best used for (ex high hp, low rpm peak tq etc.) I am looking to buy this core soon if it seems to be an ok turbo for a good single turbo set-up.

thank you
Jason

 

There is a guy on this board that has a junk yard set up using one of those turbos. Its a white z. Not to be an *** but just scrole throught the poweradder page. You should be able to find it. Also you might get some more info from www.turbomustangs.com.

 

great site but i still cant find the name of this turbo or really any info...help

 

jason its a "garrett tp38"

 

It’s a garret tp38 or gtp38, depending on what it actually came off of. Not sure what you really want to know, flow wise it’s probably similar to something like a T60 or so and is a bit of a hassle to use because if its specialized oil inlet and outlet on the same flange rather then one on top and the other on the bottom.

 

OK cool thanks guys. Its actually came off of a 2000 7.3L diesel powerstroke ford F450.

I guess what I would like to know is if it is a turbo worth using on a single turbo project on a 356? Also what Im looking for but cant find are compressor maps for this turbo.

Crossfire--thanks for that info on the oil system I wasnt aware of that. I wasnt the one that pulled it off so I didnt know how the oil system was hooked up. I've also come to notice that it doesnt seem have the ability to be clocked so I may have a rough time finding a proper location for it.

NeedforSpeed---Dude I havent seen you for a long time...I finally have come to the dark side...Send me an e-mail or PM telling me about the latest on your camaro!

 

heres a few pics of the turbo

 

I've read they are good for around 500 FWHP

 

any updates?

 

No But Im pretty sure that the turbo will be mounted under the front of the car in front of the passenger wheel...I need more info on this turbo before I go any further.

anyone with .02 cents on the subject please chime in.

Jason

 

Sorry off topic but you work at the goodyear off of 35w dont you.

 

grover I couldnt find the guy that you said had this turbo can u help me find his post?

Is this a worthy turbo for a 356 looking to get 500-550 rwhp? Should I go bigger?

I am not liking the idea of not being able to clock this turbo. there are not many ways this turbo will fit under my hood. What are some alteritive turbos I could use to see my power potential?

Goals I have for the car

single turbo set-up
500-550 rwhp
low 11's to high 10's in the 1/4
93 octane
intercooled or meth. injection
some street driving

Whats your budget? I wouldnt really recomend using that turbo any ways. I think it would be to much head ach

 

Yea I for a different one already! Hopefully someone will buy this one so I can get a a different one.
