turbo for a inline

[Anonymous]

Hey i am looking for a turbo for a inline 6 in a 65 mustang any one know where i can find one ?

Unfortunately noone produces a turbo setup for our inlines. You may be able to get parts of one and I have heard stories of some being made in the 60's but nothing is readily available. I just sold mine on ebay to a forum member. It was a simple setup most could make if you can weld decently. look at the sticky on the top of the forums to see what linc200 did. If you dont know very much about turbos and the correct sizing you should read Turbochargers by Hugh MacInnes. Its a good book that I have read myself and highly recommend. Theres a few things to at least get you started. Tommy

Do you have a welder? Can you weld?

Do you know anything about the one at classic inlines. there site is not working

I spoke to Ak Miller a few years back and he recommended the T3 for the 200 and a T4 for the 250.

Hasa68Mustang IIRC used a IHI turbo. That would be a little small on a 200 but should ahve excellent throttle response on the street but would be limited at higher rpms, but then we dont rev our engines that high anyways.

That's too generic....there are like, a dozen trims for each family. That statement is like saying: "If you have a truck, run a big block, and run a small block if you have a car"

It gets more complex than that, since a S-3 trim compressor (in the T4 family) is about the same size as the largest T3 out there (Super 60)

then you have the TO4E family..... that statement about Ak Miller isn't helpful to anyone trying to pick the right size.

This guide is JUST a STARTING point, there are MANY different trims out there:

It even gets messier when you look at RPM potential, and therefore HP potential of the engines. Based on CID alone a 302 and a 300 would take the same turbo assemblies. Factor in the 30-50% higher RPM of the 302 and things change in ways that don't show on the chart.

You have to read the compressor maps, no other solution.

Does anyone have a map, nomogram or a set of equations for sizing the turbine? Everything seems pretty trial and error on the hot side and I simply cannot believe that there isn't a technical solution to a technical problem.

Here is some info on turbo's, I have an HY35 from a Dodge truck that I may use. It should be good for a built 200/250 or 300 (as a street/strip turbo good for at least 400hp. It all depends on where you want the power but some turbos are more efficient which gives you better spool and more power...

ScottStaypuff-

I have played with a few turboed Dodge trucks, I even built my own Twin turbo kit running a HX-40 to a HT3B, Good for 80psi of boost and propelling a 8000lb 5 speed 4x4 into the low 14's in the 1/4.

any how I think the little 200 or even the 250 would never get the HY to spool. The Dodge is a 5.9 running between 1000-3500rpm.
Im no math guy but the voulme differance just in Ci is huge.
am I wrong?

Sorry, but you are.

The turbos sized for diesels will spool on much smaller gas engines. The Ford 2.3 guys are the ones that really started the buzz on the Holsets, a 2.3 will have a HY35 to full boost by 3000 RPM (and then it's GONNNNNE....)

A few guys have run the 7.3 Powerstroke (the NON-variable ones) on 5.0's

The TV8101 turbo from an 8V71 detroit (568 cubes) works great on race 350 cubic inch gas engines.

Good thing Im wrong, I must have 4 HX-35's sitten in the shop!!
I can Turbo everything now!!

So how much boost you Guys running to these things? 5-6?

17lbs.

24 psi on my 200, my friend with a HY35 on his 2.3 liter pushes it to 30

One other thing - - - - Holset doesn't have a size number for each turbo, like Garrett.
An HX35 can be one of 30 to 40 different turbos!!

And they don't like to share their info on which ones are which to the public

You can do more with less if you build the engine right. the right turbo, the right cam, the right compression ratio and the right boost preassure for your turbo map. if you build everything to work togther you will make a lot more HP than if you just slapped a turbo on an engine that had low enough compression.

I'm doing this with my 200 turbo engine that is in progress, we'll see how it does once I dyno it.

Dam, No head gasket problems ? Do you Guys O-ring the head and or the block?

With 24 Psi are you running a intercooler? What kind of RWHP are you at?
I had no Idea you could get much past 10psi on a gasser like the 200-250 I-6

Please teach me !!!

 

[Mustang Boy]

oohh yes these sixes love boost and if i remember correctly linc is running that boost on a stock motor

 

[addo]

I thought he'd swapped the headbolts for quarter-turn fasteners?
