I bought some turbos a week or two ago.

They showed up today.

I guess the lesson learned here is "ask for more measurements when someone tells you a turbo has a 65mm compressor wheel."

But seriously... anyone here chasing like.... an 8 second quarter mile or something?

Working on it... had to take a break after i unpacked the first one. Kindof tiring.

They weigh 27lbs each.

Well, I've got an HX35. Its pretty damned massive (for car use) probably not that large when taken in context with the diesel pump motor it came off of.

It was fun having it on the bench next to a bunch of other parts when my 924 turbo buddy came over. His reaction was pretty hilarious....

Best use for a huge turbo. Just add mini bike chassis.

Took pictures, gonna have SWMBO edit and get them ready to upload. Got some tape measure shots, as well as a comparison or two against a Supra CT26 exhaust housing, which isn't exactly... "small" in the grand scheme of things anyways.

Not gonna lie, i started supra shopping before i came to my senses.

Depends on your definition of challenge price. You could get one on the right car in budget, but i'm not letting them go for $50 per or anything lol.

Think it will blow enough air for a 8 liter V8.

Supra CT26 exhaust housing in between the two.

That's a 750mL bottle of gin.

You made me LOL.

I'd take one for the Skyline (obviously I'd have to tune it down), but I don't have the cash currently. Plus I still need that new chassis.

I have buddies in St. Louis. You should buy one now just for that reason.

I have to ask what kind of creation you had in mind when you placed that order?
