Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - aaa - 04-14-2011

Admin edit: old thread is here http://www.superturbodiesel.com/std/showthread.php?tid=235 beware some of the specs are incorrect

Ok, I decided to totally redo the turbo information thread, with a collaborative approach.

We're going to list actual turbos members have used, with the model and engine, short blurbs on the characteristics it had (when does it spool up, when does it choke, does it surge, etc), any adaptation notes (flanges, clocking, etc), what it originally came off of, compressor/turbine maps, etc.

So anyone who's got an unusual turbo, come make a post in this thread, and give a quick summary on what the deal is with it, and possibly a link to a more in-depth thread of yours.

I will compile a list of these turbos, with a list of the members who posted about each one underneath (linking to that particular post).

We also need stock turbo information too, basic info like "Here's a KKK" and "Here's a Garrett". Wastegate adjustment procedures would be nice too.

I think I'll start with the electronic GT2256V I attempted to cram onto my om617. Need to snap more pics of it.



Exhaust Flanges
Thanks to Zeitgeist for the photo
   
T3 Flange
Used on most Mercedes 3L/3.5L engines til 1995.
T25 Flange
Used on 2.5L engines til 1995.
Late 90s MB Flange
I'm not sure what the real name for this is. At some point in the late 90s MB switched to this for the OM606 turbo and the Sprinter OM602. It is triangular, with a round opening in the middle.
2000-Present MB Flange
This is the flange MB uses on most of it's common-rail engines.
   



Stock Turbos
MB alternated between KKK and Garrett frequently. The KKK turbos spool up slightly faster.

RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - Captain America - 04-14-2011

Well not unusual but when my stock Garrett T3 45 trim self destructed, I opted to rebuild it with a 60trim compressor wheel.

Poor Little 45 trim looks like this @4500 rpm with 15lbs of boost:

   

New and improved 60 trim is much happier!

   

The old 45 trim just kinda screams but the 60 trim goes supersonic at speed. Sounds way cool. Not to mention the improved efficiency.
Boost comes in a tad earlier actually

45 trim comp wheel view:

RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - eck60 - 04-15-2011

I have the 2 different turbos a garrett t3 on my good car and on the engine I am getting ready for my mod I have a kkk because the garrett rebuild kits are easily available what would I need to change out the kkk and can I use a turbo off a nissan z car they used turbos and they used a garrett t3 also the t3 was used on many different manufactures what t3 would be the best to drop turbo lag down some

thanks capt for starting this thread I hope we get some great info



RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - Duckinator17 - 04-15-2011

Will it be better to use a 60 trim even if the engine is fairly stock? Looking to have my turbo rebuilt soon.. my compressor wheel is beat to sh*t...


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - aaa - 04-15-2011

Look at the map. Better yet, it would be awesome if an OM617's rpm can be plotted across these maps, would make understanding them way easier.

The 60 trim optimizes for higher rpms. GSXR seemed think his 55 trim was a better balance, that's the stock 3.5L turbo.

Spooling is trickier. The maps don't really help with that. Probably gonna have to rely on actual experience. Anyways, I doubt another old wastegated turbo would be any better than the stock one. It's either going for smaller turbine housing (choking off higher rpm) or VNT.


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - Captain America - 04-15-2011

You could map out rpm vs boost to come up with a line graph - turbo map... Would be a lot of work though and I would have to note where boost is at what rpm... at WOT?

I should have added the calculator link ... Here it is, just modify the rpm, boost; and altitude if needed....

http://www.not2fast.com/turbo/glossary/turbo_calc.shtml?FeetASL=1100&Tamb=30&Bore=90.9&Stroke=92.4&nCyl=5&RPM=4500&VE=85&Boost=15&Ec=75&Eic=0&PdropIC=0&TambIC=30&wiPercentMethanol=0&wiRate=0&wiTemp=0&SFC=0&AFR=0&maxInjectorDutyCycle=0
The only thing I am unsure on is CFM or flow out of the turbo. Wouldn't flow be much higher with a 60 trim vs. a 45 trim at the same boost?

I say the 60 trim is sweet and allows for higher boost if you decide to increase it. It worked awesome on my old 617 that was dying. I cant wait to throw it on the good current 617 i am driving now...


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - 300D50 - 04-15-2011

I'll log boost, RPM, EGT, and EGP once I have everything worked out and built up, should be very interesting!


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - Captain America - 04-15-2011

Could video it pretty easy, then just need to jot it down


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - Duckinator17 - 04-15-2011

What exactly are these graphs showing might i ask? *not diesel tech trained* Tongue
So a 60 trim would work nicely with a stock OM617?


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - babymog - 04-15-2011

I'm running the .55 trim Garrett T-3 on my mildly-modded 603. It gives me plenty of boost by 2000rpm, wastegate is set at 18.5psi which it hits by 3500rpm, really nice low-end power from this setup. I'd imagine that you need some significant IP tuning to be able to use all of the air from the T-30 Garrett on a 617, 60-trim stock? Overkill.

It does have an annoying shreik from about 8psi-10psi, which happens to be where it runs at 75mph/3krpm, I need to find a way to quiet that down. Above that it crosses the 17khz audible threshold and I can't hear it anymore, probably pisses off nearby dogs though.


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - aaa - 04-15-2011

We need pics of stock ones too. I have some 603 kkk turbos with and without ARV I can snap pics of.


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - olefejer - 04-19-2011

Here is some information on
Turbo: HE341VE
Motor: OM606
I have just changed my HE351VE to the smaller HE341VE. it spools faster and gives more boost at lover RPM.

Here are some numbers in high gear, meaning motor RPM rise slow. giving the turbo more time to build boost.

The engine feels fantastic pulling from 2500 - 5000 RPM Big Grin

Now width the HE341VE
0.5 bar at 2000 RPM (EGP 0,8)
1.0 bar at 2500 RPM (EGP 1,3)
1.5 bar at 2700 RPM (EGP 1,8)
1.8 bar at 3000 RPM (EGP 2,1)
holding 1.8 bar all the way to 5000 RPM (120,000 Turbo RPM)

Before width the HE351VE
0.5 bar at 2500 RPM (EGP 0,8)
1.0 bar at 3000 RPM (EGP 1,3)
1.5 bar at 3500 RPM (EGP 1,8)
1.8 bar at 3700 RPM (EGP 2,1)
1.8 bar at 5000 RPM (EGP 2,1) (95,000 Turbo RPM)



RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - aaa - 04-19-2011

That has a T3 flange right?


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - olefejer - 04-19-2011

This thread is turning out good!


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - willbhere4u - 04-19-2011

So I bought a rebuilt t3 with ARV from a 1986 om603! The guy that did the rebuild said it had a .42 compressor wheel and a .48 exhaust wheel is that correct?


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - makin' smoke - 04-19-2011

Hey cap? That first post answers my garret question.(Air research/garret T3) The sd's used the garret T3 and the 300d's used a kkk26.
Are parts interchangeable between the t3 and kkk? I was planning on going with captain's recipe. The 60 trim. I have a kkk26.


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - Captain America - 04-19-2011

Both cars have a Garrett .... '81 300SD and '82 300D. I haven't looked at the '85 closely, It is different because of the trap Ox but I think it is a Garrett as well.


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - led-panzer - 04-19-2011

Mine is a garrett


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - babymog - 04-19-2011

I was told that my stock '87 OM603 Garrett T30 was a .50 compressor, no documentation on that though.

Seems that most (if not all) '86/'87 OM603s came with the KKK K-25 turbo originally. Many were replaced with the alternate Garrett T-30 when the trap-ox campaign was done, some with a new KKK, some didn't get replacements.


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - makin' smoke - 04-19-2011

I stand corrected. The captain is right. AiResearch and garret are the same. I was confused with aaa's post.
Anyone have pics of the kkk 26?


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - babymog - 04-20-2011

I don't know why these all combined into one reply but here they are:

KKK K-24 from '87 300D with ARV
   



Garrett AirResearch T-30 .50 trim w/ ARV from '87 300D (after trap-ox campaign)
   
   
   


Garrett T-30 .55 trim w/o ARV from '91 350SDL / OM603.970
   
   
   

MOD_EDIT:Be sure to click the "insert into post" button so it puts the pics where you want them instead of lumping them all together. The reason they all combined is the anti-double-post mod installed on the forum. Wink

RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - majesty78 - 04-21-2011

A few weeks ago I had an really huge John Deere licenced VNT turbo in my workshop which had failed.

In fact, I didnt even know that kkk produces such big VNT devices with classic "nozzle ring/ vane assembly" VNT mechanism. It also has a full functional anti surge compressor housing.

This damn actuator is almost as big as a "normal" GT1749V , unfortunately the badge on the kkk turbo is not readable anymore, so I dont know yet which turbo this is in detail....

RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - dieselboy - 04-21-2011

I'll get the facts on my setup soon.

I'm running a om617a with a 722.1 auto.

I have a HY35 off a 98 cummins 5.9 auto.

9cm housing
Compressor inducer: 54mm
Compressor exducer: 78mm
Turbine wheel: 58/65mm

I get 10psi 2500 then it goes up to 20psi at 5000 rpm.
With a w115 intake and the intercoolet I see 1200° max egt and it actually goes down with speed. It runs around 1.05:1 drive pressure to boost at these levels.



RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - Captain America - 05-04-2011

Yeah probly Chad lol. I have CRS. I went to get some gaskets and stuff and he said "oh I have another one of those here" Yeah man it looked done... Guess we both asked about ceramic coating the turbine housing haha. He told me no too. Guess there's just a tone of work to do it and it wouldn't be worth the effort. She looked tits though dude. You'll be way happy with it. Looked like the turbine housing was painted black? I just saw it for a second

Ya thats too bad about the ceramic coating but oh well and it wasnt black when I sent it in? Maybe they sprayed it that would be cool, Ive been hoping to here from them but I still havent gotten a call but oh well hopefully soon.

what rpm does the 60 trim spool? is it really sooner than the 45 trim?


RE: New and improved Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - Biohazard - 06-09-2011

That really does look great!! My Dad and I are still working on a custom log manifold to mount a GTv turbo onto his engine, otherwise I'd be shipping of the spare turbo for this treatment in a hurry!

(06-08-2011, 07:25 PM)fj four o what rpm does the 60 trim spool? is it really sooner than the 45 trim?

Im not sure on this I dont have a tach hooked up yet. And I would say that it doesnt spool up quite as fast but it feels much better at higher RPMs but the difference in lag is minimal I'd say and well worth the extra top end performance.

Just want to show what is possible width the Holset HE341VE on a OM606 width myna pump. i have just adjusted the alda to give more fuel, as it has got way to little fuel at low load. video is made width no smoke but on the limit to smoke.
I now almost get 1 bar boost at 2000 RPM
and 2 bar at 2550 RPM, this test is made in 5 gear width converter locked to hold the RPM down to measure this.

RE: Turbo Information Thread (Needs your contributions!) - sassparilla_kid - 02-11-2012

So it looks like a 60 trim comp wheel is the way to go with a stock garrett T3? I am not liking the idea of it taking longer to spool though since it already takes long enough, so is there anything that can be done about that? Also is it possible for one to just rebuild the turbo themselves, or are all kinds of fancy machines and equipment needed?
