whats up everyone, had a few quick questions and figure id get some feedback from some experienced members here...ive been wanting to do an all motor higher compression 4.8 build for a while but last night my buddy offered me a fresh 68mm turbo for 150 bucks and it really got me thinking theres no shaft play whatsoever and was only used fora few startups before they went with a 76mm. my question is would this be big enough for my motor or too small? and also how cheap could i fab up a remote mount turbo kit/run all the intercooler piping? also i do have a 228r on a tight lsa so would i have to change it or could i get away with it?

thanks in advance

What are your power goals? Any more info on the turbo?

 

in all honesty power goals n/a were planning on hitting 400rwhp after heads, intake mani, yella terra 1.8s, ud's and a full live dyno tune from FMS. now if i take boost into consideration i honestly cant say. i just dont want to have to change my whole gearing/converter setup etc but this kindve just fell into my lap un expected, i dont know wether itd be ideal for me or just a waste of time and effort. from what ive been told its a t4 flange, 68mm (havnt gotten size of the hot side yet either) im waiting on pictures and a little more info on it.

 

3500stall and a 68mm would be quite interesting.. Get all the numbers and sizes off it and let us know.
68mm rear mount with a 64 or 65mm turbine would be ok.

 

will do sir! whats even better is he wants my manifold and fuel rail...looks like i may be trading it

 

Manifold?

 

ive got a tbss intake manifold and fuel rail thats been waiting to go on the truck,hes been asking if id like to get rid of it for a while but ive wanted to keep it until now, if i can trade it for a turbo and not have to cough up any cash id be more than happy

 

AH! i see..
as long as its a decent size and not some cheap T3 turbo.

 

if its some cheap t3 im not goin theyre, he did say its a garrett so im pretty interested. really wanted to stay all motor but this boost deal may be pretty fun lol

 

Oh it is.. im running all stock stuff minus injectors and cam
