this is obviously not exactly the condition my turbo is in, but its the same thing. I dont suppose that would have a t3 flange? Im pretty new to the whole turbo application so... help a n00bzoR out lol

nobody?

 

Looks like a S40 turbo.
In the U.S. the S40 only had one engine.
Hp not sure of.

 

yes, I guess I should have written that in that advert, they say its for a S40/V40 but wherever I search, I find 3+ different HP ratings... Im mainly curious about this because I want to know what kind of characteristics to expect from it as far as boost, lag, and operating pressure.

 

They usually have a little bit of lag.

I have seen them run at 10 Psi of boost nicely.

 

laggy hm? thats ok, I kinda want to use on my other DD/weekend- my 86 b18 civic. the i wanna keep the 245 in its (mostly) origional glory

 

Yah there is a slight bit of lag. But then it hits pretty hard(Good broke in engine not a granny car) lol

 

we are talking about the twin scroll right? either way no matter, just wanted to know what to expect when I get around to installing it. It should be coming in the mail by saturday or monday. Im really lost as to figure out what flange it has and what manifold will match it... Since, at the moment, I dont plan to use it on my b230(istead the acura b18). Should this turbo SOMEHOW find its way on my 245, is it true that the stock turbo manifold from my year will work with this turbo? I have my doubts on the source of that info.
thnx Tech!

 

Twin scroll not sure.

That has a different flange than the 240 turbo manifolds.
The 740 is different as well.
I think it is unique. By the looks of the Triangle type flange.
The others are more square.
