BrIaN EG2 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Well the other day we were helping supply throw some scrap metal, wood, and a bunch of parts away because we are getting ready to move from fob hammer to camp striker, and someone looked at me and told me to throw this away, i took it and hid it until we were released to go back to our rooms and i went and grabbed it and snuck it to my room, and now im in the process of cleaning it and rebuilding it... i wonder if itll work on my evo?!? FREE TURBOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its brand new, never been used, just sat there and collected dust-err sand how can i get all the tan paint thats on the outside of the housing off? Just to let you see how big it is, a comparison in size with my M4 It needs a little TLC but i think when im done with it it wont look to shabby, and if it doesnt work on my evo then itll just be a good learning experience for me to rip it apart rebuild it and put it back together, at least then ill know a little more about turbos and how everything goes together inside that little snail shell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It looks like a turbo off of a Mack. Which run around 40psi. so good luck with puttin it on the Evo. Just another thought, how you getting it back over here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another thought, how you getting it back over here? nah its not the turbo from a mack, i think its from a hummvie (350 diesel turbo) and ill send it back through the mail, or in one of my bags, our bags arent checked because the airfoce flies us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which run around 40psi. oh and i threw away a CAT turbo that was 2.5X bigger than the one i have, i picked it up and was like "theres no way in hell this would work on the evo!" lol but now that i think about it, i could have taken it and cleaned it up and sold it on ebay or craigslist and made me some monies >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondahunter Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It would take some work, but looks like it's worth a try Remember how turboing and supercharging started...

Mitchness Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 yeah hummvie turbos spool very quickly I think that's 'cause it's attached to a 6.0L diesel engine. The Evo is gonna suffocate trying to spool that thing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evo is gonna suffocate trying to spool that thing, well im not gonna just slap it on there with a stock block and stock internals, the car will be built before a 40psi turbo gets put on that's badas*. That's going to be a mean Evo with that turbo. haha thanks man oh and a little update, the guy i bought the car from said this shop will take a trade if i clean it up and have it looking nice, he said theyll trade me a stage 2 20G turbo for that one... good trade or no?

xxscaxx Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 stage 2 20g? you said you had a 20g, so what is a "stage 2" one? it would probably be a nice trade anyway since you would have a way easier time selling that turbo (especially to another evo member) than probably the other one.
