AIResearch .63 a/r turbo any good?

tiny4lx · Jan 25, 2004

i purchased a airesearch turbo, is this turbo any good? the boy i got it from said '' its got a 9.5lb actuator sring in it[make any sense?]". if any good what kind of hp are we talking.everything feels tight.

bhuff30 · Jan 25, 2004

we need a little more than that. specifically... T3, T4, T88?
Also, how 'good' the turbo is entirely depends on what you are putting the turbo on.
As for the actuator spring, '9.5lb' would mean it opens the wastegate at 9.5psi to control the boost.
You should post a picture. I would assume this is going on a 2.3l, but there are lots of different styles of T3, and what you have may not work.. if it is even a T3.

You keep asking these kind of questions like your going to take an svo apart. I'll wait to hear your answer before I get ****ty with you.

A T3 is pretty small, so that would pretty much give it away right there. T4's and T88's are monsters compared to it.

T3.

I just bought a complete 1986 SVO engine and am trying to get as much info on it as I can. I am sorry If the questions have raised a fuss, thought that people would be happier to help out that is all.

tiny4lx · Jan 26, 2004

DONT WORRY ABOUT THE FUSS. I just thought it would be easy to find out what turbo i had. Guess not, apears that there is more to it than i thought. I will have pics as sone as i get a chance. thanks everybody!

The AiResearch turbo in the first post is a stock Turbo found all all 2.3T's except the 87-88 TC's.

kiddiccarus · Jan 26, 2004

cool what is the normal boost that it can handle?

You realize you could find all this info in a search right?

It can handle more than your stock engine can take (without upgrading the fuel system)....Max of about 24psi.

No I didnt I am new to this all, Only have been a member since dec and have been trying to get as much info as I can on the thing I am doing. For me just the stock SVO and settings is a huge improvement over my N/A 93 engine.

tiny4lx · Jan 26, 2004

24lbs of boost? hummmm sounds good the motor wont be stock it will have some beef. thanks stinger for the answers.

Bendutro · Jan 26, 2004

"Have some beef" ?? They're already stout as hell. Without a better intercooler, you won't see any power improvement between 19-24 psi. Just because the turbo can push that hard, doesn't mean your engine will run stronger. Look into reading compressor maps.. That will help you understand airflow and pressure ratings.

Airesearch is Garrett. Same company. The .63 refers to the A/R ratio of the turbine side. The compressor (cold side) should read .50. That's the turbo that was OEM on the pre-87 TC's and the 84-85 SVOs. Unless you've never seen a turbo before, you should be able to visually tell if there's a T4 compressor on it. (I doubt it)

tiny4lx · Jan 26, 2004

BEEF is aka MODIFICATION[soory tried to be funny, but it didnt work]and i know a little about turbos.if you read other threads i made you would know that im an x v-8 s/c guy.and yes i know big from small and yes im aware what a turbo looks like.i simply asked a question needed an answer tried to be a little funny. So try not to be so ignorant next time.THANKS!
