Interesting Turbo find

Diesel Dude · 05-02-05, 07:04 PM

HI all
I posted pictures of my d-50 Turbo install this past weekend I took some time and put on a Lebaron Turbo just to compare because so many people seem to be using them. I was not happy with the results it didnt seem to give me as much power as the d-50 turbo so I began to look at these t2wo turbos I ended up taking the center sections off of both of them and fopund that the lebaron turbo has a much much smaller exhaust side turbine, however a bigger intake side. I tried to mate the exhaust side of the d-50 to the intake side of the lebaron but they are just too diferent. These results kinda shocked me beacuse I always thought that the leabron turbos would be better suited for the application.

What version of turbo did you get off of the Lebaron? Mitsubishi, Garrett turbo I or turbo II?

Do you have any pictures?

It was the mitsubishi version I had the 2 garett versions there too they looked very similar to the mitsu one but I never did pop them apart. Thursday or Friday I will take some pictures.
