is it possible to use a diesel turbo on a gasoline engine? i found a guy that has a garrett turbo from a power stroke it has an a/r of 1.10 or something like that. he wants $50 for it and its still good.
diesel turbo
- Thread starter Godspeed
- Start date
you could probly make it work, and i'd think it boost very quickly too because most diesel trucks red line like at 4000rpm! and run around 25psi.
repace the hot side and it may work but for 50 bucks it whould be a nice coffe table peac
i have ct26 ash tray ehehhe

It will work. Turbos are turbos. The a/r on the hotside is a little large, but it would still spool, just not sure when.
If its the reverse rotation model on the powerstroke, you'll just have to point the compressor housing up and not down. Also, if its the variable vein turbo, don't touch it unless you're planning on reselling it.

It won't work because a diesel engine has 18:1 or as high as 23:1 compression ratio, creating significanly higher cylinder pressure than a 7M. The engines are completely different in design, and the turbo is made for the engine.supra88boy said:
There is nothing that says he can't expirement though.
well i also have a 1ggte not the 7m so it would take even longer for it to spool. i just wanted to know cuz it is only $50
yea that would be bad I doubt a 1GGTE would spool that, those turbo's are designed for the engines, trying to adapt it would probably cost more than its worth. But hey man do what you will.
i know i want to go single on my 1ggte and i want a decent size turbo but i dont wanna have lag so bad that it would take all day to spool.

Hate to tell you you're wrong Nick, but you're wrong. :nono:
Most of the early years of power stroke engines used a large shaft to4 setup with a different comp housing and a monster exhaust housing. Some were reverse rotation compaired to a typical to4. The shafts were typically P trim, Q or S trims. The compressor wheels are around 60mm or larger IIRC.
Additionaly, you can take the Holset hy35 or the hx35 that came on the Dodge ram pickups. They are great turbos, and spool very very rapidly. You can make around 450hp with the holset 35 series and see full boost at 3200rpms.
so then would it be ok to use on my car? and i would have to change the exhaust haousing right?.
c'mon guys even though my car is a 1ggte its still a supra. help me out.

On top of the different cylinder pressure, the Power Stroke was 7.3 litres of displacement. That is why that big turbo spools fast. If it worked so well, it wouldn't be such an issue to get it.(a 7M turbo that spools superfast and delivers T78 power)
That exhaust area to radius effects spool based on the engine. It is not going to spool just like the diesel on his 1G or a 7M.

Nicks right on the spool - its going to be a lag monster. Yes you can change housings on the rear of the turbo, but Im not sure how easy they will be found.
IT depends on if the turbo is one of the powerstroke reverse rotation. Just go buy it for $50 and let us see it. If its not what you need, it will sell on ebay like hotcakes.
i hear ya. i wanna try to use it on my car if possible hell i will run it until it kills the 1g the use it on something else or sell it.
