WFF: Small turbo

Jakey · 03-11-2007

I'm helping a couple of guys look for a turbo for a project they're working on here at Iowa State University. In a nutshell, the project consists of turbocharging a 0.9L, 3 cylinder, Lombardini diesel engine. Unfortunately, since it's a school project, the budget is zero so I'm hoping that somebody has turbo collecting dust which they'd be willing to part with. A 9B or 13G is what came to mind initially but I'm open to other possibilities as long as it has a wastegate. I'm willing to pay the shipping costs out of my own pocket simply because I think the end result is going to be awesome. I would also be more than happy to list the turbo donor as a sponsor of our 1/4 Scale Tractor Pulling Team as this project is a something which evolved out of another team project.

I have a t25 and a 14b, the 14b needs a rebuild for sure, and the wastegate doesnt look like it will close all the way.. Im not sure about the condition of the t25, but i do know that the fins arent in the greatest shape, and it has quite a bit of shaft play. PM me of you want em.

Thanks for the offers, Charlie. I think I have a line on something quite small but I'll let you know either way next week.

If they were serviceable I'd offer up my wonderfully small t15, but it's shot.

Can you shoot me some more information about that? It turns out I read my information e-mail wrong and the engine displacement is 0.9L, not 1.9L.

Thanks

The engine is currently in the old barn area of I Ed II but the build will take place in the Davidson shop.

Hit me up if you need any help. I'll keep an eye out for a turbo as well.

Thread can be closed, I picked up the T15 from Sean.

Thanks
