Let's play Name That Flange

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 2:54 am

Here's the deal. I'm trying to get an ident on my turbine outlet flange so I can get some sort of V-band clamp for the thing, but I'm not sure that that's possible. It has the right angles for a V-band, but the flange itself is too thick I believe. Here's the pics:

Anybody know?

What's the application?

Oops, I've gotta pay more attention next time. Garret GT35.

Call Garret?

I meant what vehicles was it used on... Is the GT35 used on anything or is it purely aftermarket?

Yeah, it's an OEM journal bearing unit on a Navistar diesel truck motor. I haven't found the exact application yet. I'll probably just call Garrett today.

Just my opinion, but that doesnt' look like a GT35 to me.

The exterior doesn't look exactly like the aftermarket GT units, but it has all the same specs inside except it uses a journal bearing instead of ball-bearings.

Just so you know, not all garrett GT series turbos are BB. Just the R ones.

I think you just need a clamp and a flange for your downpipe. Take out a set of calipers, measure and call up a turbo house and order the size you need.

Should be <$50 since you dont need the tig welded part.

so you are using a Diesal turbo?

How are you usre its actually a gt35 wheel? I know you bought it on ebay so who knwos what you really got. You hav eno way to verify it.

That thing dwarfs that GN turbo. I think that would haev been a better sized turbo for your 4 banger then that huge thing. I am thinking it might not even spool.

good luck with that project
