Title: Turbo is here :D
Post by: 1BadBird on August 09, 2007, 06:37:33 PM
Hey guys,  The friend of mine that does International truck engines for trade shows called me up today to see if I still wanted the pair of turbos he had promissed to give me a couple of years ago. You bet I do... :D I went over to his shop and he gave one of them to me. The other one had been packed into a crate to be moved to his new shop, so when he unloads that crate, he'll give me the second one. They are for a 360cid I6 truck engine. If I read the numbers right, the A/R is 1.32. The intake turbine housing says AirResearch T04. He is also giving me alot of the intercooler tubing to work with.  He would've given me an air-to-air cooler too, but they are waaaayyyy to big to fit into my Bird. Oh well, at least I can start making the brakets, s and such.

Not quite sure what you mean 32Vfoxbird. If I can get some pics taken, I'll post them. It's not an overly large unit though. I just looked at it agin in better light. I misread the A/R #. It's 1.32 not 1.62.  any ideas as to where i can find out those numbers you wanted??

there should be an a/r # on the intake housing, and exhaust housing. you can measure the blades with a ruler.

The a/r # was only on the exhaust housing. I'll take a ruler and get some measurements and post em.
Yes gumby, I'll post some pics :(  LOL

Wrong brand of engine. spoogings vs. International Harvester. The engine this came off of isn't the engine used in the Dodge p/u's. It's the ones used in bigger trucks but not semi sized.

32vforbird; the exhaust turbine measures 2 11/16"; Intake turbine measures 2 9/16" and the intake outlet tube measures 1 7/8" That is using a ruler. Not the best measuring device but that gets me close, I think.

Sounds like a TO4B to me...

Post up some pics.

If it's a T04, then it's obviously gonna have a T4 ...just dunno which compressor side it has, T04E or T04B. Easier to tell with a pic.

Hey, I figured out how to post the pics. Shock :hick:
Sorry the pics are rather big. I didn't realize they were so huge :(

Those aren't big. In my opinion, all pictures posted should be that size or larger. I absolutely hate squinting at the little 320x240 things people post.

If you mean file size, yes, they could be around 20KB each instead of 70-100KB.
