Ford 7.3l Powerstroke Turbo on a DSM

I know a guy who wants to put a turbo from a Ford Powerstroke 7.3 Turbo Diesel on his 95 gsx and i was wondering how hard it would be to get it to work and what power it could make on a dsm or if it would spool. The only thing i know about the turbo is that it has a 1.15 turbine housing and turbine wheel.

Thanks

You're talking about putting a V8 diesel truck turbo onto a 4 cylinder car motor....IF it fits up correctly, good luck getting it to work right. Not worth the effort IMO.

ummmm????? the 4 cylinder that comes in the car is already SQWISHED in the engine compartment............. good luck fitting a v8 TURBO DIESEL TRUCK engine in there..... it would be VERY HARD.... dont try it....... :screwy:

Reading skills are essential...he just wants to take the turbo from the truck and put it on his 4g63. :)

You can't just slap on a MASSIVE turbo and boost the shit out of your car. You will need fuel and supporting mods. Read the FAQ page and go to www.vfaq.com and read up.

I dont think diesel turbos are the same as gas turbos. I wouldnt do it, just get a bigger normal turbo.

People run the cummins turbo diesel (dodge trucks) turbos in DSMs. The HX30 or 35 turbos are from these trucks. IIRC, when I looked up my truck's HX35 it was similar to a 60-1, or 35R. Airflow in the low to mid 60s. One company put a bolt on turbine housing on it. You can bet the AR on that housing is DSM appropriate though, a 1.15 is certainly not.

That thing will most likely lag like a bastard, and who knows how the turbo/car will have to be modded to fit it up. Not worth the effort at all IMO, considering the large selection of properly sized turbos available to us.
