So I had a few turbos laying around, some good, some garbage. So I took them apart and came out with one good turbo. It has a 47 trim compressor wheel 60 a/r compressor housing and 63 a/r turbine housing. this is going on a KA and I wanted to know what the equivalent turbo would be, GT30? 2871r? in other words what did i make LOL

Did you ever consider the RPM a turbo spins in an application? Any sort of balance when you swapped stuff around?

Or did oyu just play with the housings?

I don't really know that much about turbos, i was just playing with the housings as you said. I know that a smaller a/r means it will spool quicker so i used the smaller housings that i had because i want more low to mid range power. but the compressor wheel for the housing is a 47 trim which seems weird because i never heard of a 47 trim. although im pretty sure the compressor housing was off a diesel truck lol. i just want to know what its comparable too, I've had people ask me what kind of turbo it is and im like.......uuuuh idk
