Post Monster turbo!



The small turbo on the right is a T3/T4.

As originally posted on SupraForums.com:
We have finally finished designing this new turbo, and now here it is... It is called the T90, it features compressor and turbines wheels similar to that of the T76. The wheels are slightly larger to accomodate for the extremely large housings that have been designed to support between 600 and 1200+hp!!! The housings are similar to the size of the Thumper series turbos from Turbonetics. It also has a divided tangential T04 bolt up exhaust flange so that it will fit most of the manifolds available. Here are some of the specs on it...

Compressor-
Inlet 5"
Outlet 3"
Inducer 3"
Exducer 4.25"

Turbine
10 blade
Outlet 3.5"
Wheel Diameters 2.75" and 3.25"

The turbo will sell for $1800, it comes with a full warrentee and can actually be returned if you are not happy with it, as long as it is not blown. Here are a few pictures of it, for reference, the turbo on the right in the two pictures is a T3/T4 with .60 compressor and a .63 exhaust. Contact Chris Forsberg at importurbo@hotmail.com for any other information regarding the turbo.
That is one hell of a car turbo!

Anyone want $1800 worth of turbo lag?

Although it would be a hell of a paper weight with my valves!

Like I had said.. lag anyone?

Actually, with the extra 2 pistons, it might not be that bad...

On a side note.. think they used enough orange RTV sealant on the pan gasket?

Ask Alan C what he thinks of that.

Luke, I think you'd have to remove the A/C to make it fit. It'd stil be tight though...

You could cut a hole in your hood and mount it on top of the hood. That way you can keep your A/C and you know you will get cool air into the turbo. Do you think you would need an intercooler for that

A friend and myself bought two T04E turbos from Chris for our RX7's and we had some issues with them. E-mail me for the details before buying.

Holy smokes! That 4 FOOT high turbocharger is one big momma! I thought the turbo in my truck was a big hummer.
