Turbo off of a disel pickup

[zootel]

I have bought a turbo off of a turbo disel pick up to try and see if i can get it to work on my crx. any suggestions would help.

its just like anyother turbo..you need a manifold,charge pipes,b.o.v,wastegate,intercooler

thats raw , u can do that, is that why all dieasle pick up goo PHSS and u can hear the turbo blow off valve?

Same reason why all other turbo cars make that noise....

My only thought is the turbo lag from a turbo that large on a small engine would be atrocious.

 

[K2e2vin]

That's true; most of the people using diesel(semi's) turbos have it on their V8's.

Some diesel turbos aren't that big; I work at Caterpillar and the Front wheel loaders have a moderate sized turbo(probably about the size of a T25). Then again, construction tractors don't have to move as fast as semi's or move as much weight.

i say try it out and see how it performs.
never know, diesel turbo may be the best new performance swap.

I've seen that pic before. I just don't know of a car on the road that would spool that beast.

Don't crx's come with the b16?

 

[Swap fan]

Nope. You're wrong buddy. These come stock in the CRX HF, what planet are you from?^_^

 

[budda]

Wow.... Makes me want a CRX

That engine is actually the first thing that came to mind when i saw that turbo.

if you just use a turbo off of a small 4cyl diesel or a 6cyl diesel you shud be fine because thats what im gunna do

Maybe i should pick up one, friend has alot of dying turbo diesel trucks at the Rent-All centre...and yes we spell it centre not center.

 

[Slow&Delirious]

what truck did the turbo come off of?
are there any disel cars that come with turbos?

 

[phyregod]

I don't know much of turbos, but diesels make all their power at low rpm, we're talking 2500-3500 rpm.. I would think that a turbo designed to give boost at such low rpm might go nuts in a high strung gas engine.. Entirely a guess, though.


P.S. Is that a train turbo or something?

look you dont need a diesel turbo go to the junk yard and pull a turbo off a volvo that will work fine.

USDM CRX's, no...

The only diesel 'car' that comes to mind with a turbo is the turbo diesel VW's. I.E. Passat, Golf, Jetta.

P.S. Is that a train turbo or something?

From a ship.

 

[Slow&Delirious]

ship turbo ftw!!!!

how much boost do you think it makes?

 

[B16RacerN2NR]

Boost is irrelivent... CFM's is what it's all about...

This is off of like a ford turbo disel pickup not a semi. and I bought it for 35 bucks. used in good shape.... the guy got it from an estate auction and it was in a box that he bought for like 5 bucks. you can go to the link at the bottom to see pics of it. I am also building my own manifold for it out of my stock one im gonna just take some flat steel plate and cut it to mount up to the turbo and one to mount to the manifold then weld pipe to both to make a custom turbo manifold. i plan to run all of my exuast through the turbo (it should spool nicely that way i hope). I figured that it would be better then like the manifolds i have seen that only allow partial of the exuast through the turbo. the turbo is a Schwitzer S1 Turbo Charger by Borg Warner.
