grand national turbo

[rocktownmkIII]

I was wondering if anyone on the forum was familar with a stock turbo from a grand national. Im going to buy a stock 50 trim ct26 from him and he said he had a turbo from gn hed throw in for free. anyone know some info on this turbo?

That is a 3.8L v6. Turbo is bigger than ours by a significant margin. Requires machine work on the turbo to get it to bolt on to the 7m turbo manifold.

In otherwords expensive paper weight in our car.

I thought the turbo in those was really small, and not intercooled??????? Those cars are really quick though.

"Small" for a 3.8L motor. Oh yes. For a 3.0. Nope.

I actually just saw one of these turbo's the other day on a Grand National outside of Napa Parts in Newark NJ. I can't comment on the turbine since the turbo was installed, however, inducer housing looked similar in size to the ct-26 with the exception that it was really really narrow. The housing also had "garrett" cast on it, so I'm not sure if this was factory or aftermarket. It looked beat to all hell either way.

Take the free turbo and post it up for sale on a domestic forum or something.

The only turbo's I've seen in those cars have had Garrett on them as well. I'd say it's factory spec, but I'm not entirely sure...

I believe the GN turbos are a Mitsu. 17c turbo. It is slightly smaller than a 20g.

Not worth it to make it work unless your persistent on it, sell and pocket the cash.

..............No.

How much you want for it? My buddy's a G body fanatic. And whoever thought GN's were not intercooled, those were the early 3.8's I believe only in 82 (Only 25 turbo models made that year). 84 (no GN's in 83) and on GN's all had the intercooled and turbo'ed 3.8.

I have an upgraded PT-61 Grand national turbo on one of my supras. 3 bolt foot print flange and all. Runs pretty well.
