I'm looking for any and all info on turbos you can give me.

Thinking about putting a small, fast spooling, reliable turbo on my snowmobile and need to know of some good ones that fit that bill and will build ~ 12 pounds of boost.

BTW, put it here since its for a sled instead of in general for a car ;)

Heeey you didn't get insipired by the video that you posted did ya?

I know nothing of sleds.

What is the engine CC? Two stroke? What kind of room are we playing with?

Also,

Read this book:

It's not the end all info-tome of turbos, but it's a good start.

Heeey you didn't get insipired by the video that you posted did ya?
its been either bigger motor, turbo, or both since january.

Almost had myself convinced to buy another sled there for a while, but I would rather drop a couple thousand into this current sled then buy another one that isn't exactly what I want.

Poopz convinced me to try and junkyard a turbo setup instead of dropping $5,000 on a turbo kit from some local places. That is why I need to get info on em.

I know nothing of sleds.not many people do :bigthumb:

What is the engine CC? Two stroke?
700cc two stroke, twin.

What kind of room are we playing with?
pics from when I piped it last year:

yes, its carbed. I would either pressurize the current airbox, or try and rig up some different kind of intake.

Have you tried looking for a forum for them? I'm not sure if they'd have any or not...worth a try though

hah.

I'm a member of several snowmobile forums.

But the few turbo sled guys are rather tight lipped about their setups and all of them say "just buy a kit"

edit:

and why not learn about turbos from people I would hope would have a bit of knowledge of them?

specifically he is looking for a small quick spooling turbo that was available in a production car that can (thus) be found in a junkyard.

The turbo off the 1.6 Capri would probably fit the ticket. They were pretty reliable.

the next problem,

how the fuck would I lubricate it.

The added weight of its own oil tank, cooler, lines, pump, etc... fuck.

t25 ?

does it have an oil pressure sensor ?

thats where my charger oil feed hooks in just install a t-fitting.

oil pressure sensor?

its a two stroke, the only oil that is in the engine is the oil that is mixed with the gas.

that ones a Garret

premix! woot FC

turbo: 1.6 capri might be too old. ideally it'd be a turbo from the mid to late 90s. i.e. you can find one in a yard or on a forum, and it wont be rusted out to shit. how about the smaller stock turbo on the FD? the turbo needs to be really tiny! .7L engine!

turbo:
-fd small sequential? $??? (saw a used pair s&l, no shaft play for $300 on 7club)
-sr20det stock turbo? $400ish on 240sx forums.
-1.6L capri? couldn't find one on the net.
-1.9L vw golf? about $300-650 in the yards across the USA.
-you may want to go brand new on the turbo.

oil cooler: used FC3S oil cooler $50 //rx7club
oil pump: new electric oil pump $40-140
oil resovoir: DIY $100
intercooler: used FD3S stock i/c $40 //rx7club
bov = whatever you want. $100-200.
fuel = carbed? eek. $???
manifold = ??? $???
exhaust/piping/lines/fittings etc. = DIY $???

am i missing anything? everyone feel free to chime in...

so looks like around $1,500

looks like some boys in utah are running the Aerocharger 50 Series Turbocharger on their 600's.

I belive the Aero charger turbos come self-lubricated :)

So that would probably be why.

Never used one myself :p

Anyone know the url for the aerocharger homepage?

All I'm getting searching is shit from NASIOC and harley forums. Also, the Bell Engineering Group (http://www.bellengineering.net/index.html) webpage doesn't have shit on the aerocharger even though it seems they are the people that build em :dunno:

EDIT thought it was 4 stroke.

I would try and find a used self llubricated turbo. The smallest one I can think of is one off a mitsu diesel engine. Like the ones that come in some of there older cars.

you can find a very small turbo off a smart car. i looked at one for a briggs 20hp engine. im not sure how they lubricate i couldn't see any lines in the pictures i looked at. we get snow here maybe 1 day a year the closest thing ive seen to that locally is a turbo bombardier ds650.

too small. they only make 60'ish hp. you probably make double that NA with a 700.
