here's a turbo for the v8/v6 crowd

I noticed this at work the other day, never seen a turbine housing like it.
I beleve it came off a Caterpillar 3208.
Sorry for the crappy phone pic.

where can i get one?

I'm curious as to what the point of this is? Unless you have a twin plenum intake system on the engine, you would still have just one throttle body, which defeats the purpose of two outlets on the compressor housing.

[viridionplague]

why couldnt that be the exhaust side?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

It looks like it's aluminum, so I doubt it could stand up to the heat of the exhaust.

[viridionplague]

well to me it looks like its setup for v-band clamps, or whatever the quick exhaust clamps are called, if it was for intake clamps why would they cut a notch and roll the lip.

either way its hard to tell in the picture what its actualy made out of

To me it looks like an exhaust housing with a v-band inlet and v-band outlet. The compressor housing is sitting right next to it..

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Alot of heavy equipment uses v-band clamps on the compressor housings. Most of the pushbacks and other airplane moving stuff at the airport use them on both the intake and exhaust sides of the engine.

I think it's an exhaust housing.

It could be part of a sequential turbo setup.
