Good catch, IDK what I was thinking when I typed that out.

Yeah, I drove it about 42 miles in January and then the oil pan drain plug fell out. I thought I stopped it in time but I didn't. Definitely sucked, but it's a lesson learned.

Yeah, I knew they were heavy, but holly crap not this much.

the inducer is the inlet side of of the wheel, regardless of its orientation. the exducer is the outlet side of the wheel. so, in a turbocharger, the inducer side of the compressor is the side that you see when you look down its throat. the exducer side of the compressor is the big side that is at the back of the compressor housing.

the exducer of the turbine wheel is the small side, or the one you see when you look up the turbos butt. the inducer is the big side of that wheel in the front of the exhaust housing.

since the space available for the compressor to draw in air is the inducer and the space available for exhaust to exit the turbine is the exducer, you can get an idea for the air flow ability and depending on all kinds of other factors the power it will be able to make from knowing the size of the inducer on the compressor and the exducer on the turbine. the area of the exhaust housing, or the third number given in the size helps you determine how much fliud can pass through the housing at a given pressure. that will help determine the lag or how fast the turbo spools and has an effect on EGTs and drive pressure.



this thing seems to have a target on the gonad area, or maybe the wallet. but at least it should be a nice well done rig when finished! Ryan had it running/driving briefly, but it took a digger when the engine decided to knock.

Well said Ryan. And yeah, this thing has way of draining the pocket book or any account hooked to it. But, this is a part in building old trucks. This one had 179k on it and I'm sure they weren't all great miles. Haha
