Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.

Looking at the turbo itself, it appears to be roughly the same size on the exhaust turbine as the .63 Garrett T3. But, I haven't seperated the center section from the exhaust side yet (rust):rolleyes2

I still have to deal with two rusted bolts in the center cartrdige that seem to be stripping. Untill I get thse removed, I can't even think about seperating the exhaust side from the center cartridge

Once I get these two removed, I'll do what I've done with all of the othert IHI's that I've rebuilt, swap them out for shorter length bolts. For some odd reason, IHI likes to use bolts that won't completely come out without first starting to seperate the center section. Once you have enough slack, the bolt will come all the way out.

Pictures of what I mean can be found in a similar IHI found in my thread here:
http://www.mx6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102559 -look half way down.

I have measured the compressor wheel and it is quite larger than my .60 Garrett T3.

I'll get you the exact numbers for the compressor wheel at least tommorrow. Oh, and I'll throw in some pictures for good measure
