Hey guys im looking for some info on a turbo i got for free. Im wondering if it will work in a kat setup on the sohc Ka and maybe what it was in to begin with. i tried to run the tag through garrets site but didn't get anything. Thanks in advance.

It looks like a T25, which is the stock turbo of the CA18DET (which is a 1.8L) . Not sure it will flow a lot on a 2.4L.

I guess at it, for you. lol
It looks like a turbo from a twin turbo 300zx
If that's true? It's smaller than a stock s13 t25.
Will it work? does it work! You can mount any turbo to any engine! It's take only a flange, oil feed, (water feed), and pipework.

i did just find out this came off a jdm 300zx motor, it was rebuilt by SHOWA. im not looking crazy hp but a fast spooling turbo would be cool. what kind of hp will this make? Thanks for the info.

You need a bit more than just bolting a turbo to make power.
A turbo compresses air; it has flow and pressure caracteristics (mainly). Basically, this thing is enough to give flow for a 1.5L engine if it comes from a 300zx( 1 turbo for 3 cylinders). Which basically means it could spool at idle (meaning no depression, so no brake assist), run out of puff at 2500rpm, then will overspin and self destroy.
Go to turbobygarrett.com, get your turbo spec, compute your estimated engine flow spec, put that on the turbo flow chart, and see if it is any good. But i think it will not be.

Thanks for the info. I've just been having a hard time getting the specs because the tag doesn't seem to have any numbers the coralate to garretts turbo lookup. I'll break it down and just measure the turbines.
