Just bought, psycho billy turbo kit. WHAT IS IT!!!

[G.W BUFFALO]

I can't feel any in and out movement, but definatly some side to side.. It does'nt seem to contact at all, but it's kinda hard to tell i geuss. Could i just pull it apart and throw new seal's in it and inspect it, or is that best left up to a turbo guy.. This is the first turbo i'vew ever played with so it's all new to me.

Ok finally some pics of the turbo setup. Basicly this is all i'm reusing the manifold, intake hat and maybe the turbo. The rest will be either upgraded or used as a template to make new..

The manifold

The turbo is marked Airesearch A/r 70, whatever that means.. I think it is cotacting the housing, hard to tell but i think a rebuild ior upgrade is in it's future..

ar 70 would be the exhaust housing size i believe let me find the thread i had on specing my turbo

good info there on how to figure ar and wheel trim, you would have to take the turbo apart to figure trim but like I said I would hate for you to spend money on getting it rebuilt then not like the performance

once you get ar and trim I bet others could help you to figure out how well it would theoretically work

Good info thanks, but i think the wheel mite be ever so lightly cntacting the housing. Its hard to tell but i feel it needs redone before i can run it, so i'm trying to figure out whats best for me to do.. I wonder what other turbo's i could use that would fit and are redaly avalible..

could the cold side be turned to get a much straighter shot into the intake?

 

[freebird01]

not with the 180 bend welded to the housing

 

[G.W BUFFALO]

Looks like sombody had just the manifold either BAE or Rayjay an made the rest.. Still cool to find, what year is the truck..

I'd love to have one of those manifolds to make a kit with a different turbo...
Maybe one day.

Id love to loan mine out for recasting, but i have'nt any idea how to get something recast or the cost.. I'm sure i could sell them thou if i could get them cast for a resonable price.. What i could do is take it to my local fab guy and see about making replica's in header form, my local guy Jimmy Walters is Realy Realy good and resonably priced.. thanks
