I was searching around on craigslist and found a cummins turbo new in box for $800.00. The number on the box is #3803015. Can someone give me some information on this turbo.

 

From the search I did, its an HC5A which is and hx80 or also know as big *** turbo... If your thinking sbout puttin that on your truck, from your sig it won't be enough fuel to spin that thing...

 

What would I need to upgrade to spin it?

 

insane fuel and it would be a comp only truck. You would probably need to be over 3000 RPM to lite it. And it would not spool for daily driving.

Might be OK for the bottom turbo in a BIG set of twins but even then it would be real laggy.

 

I was hoping i could use it but guess not. I use my truck alot to pull horse trailers and would hate to loose the ability to use it on a daily basis. It soulded like a good deal but not practical for me..

 

That turbo is for a 350 or 400 big cam cummins even the add says that no way in hell without a 1k hp motor with a huge cam and monster sticks would it be worth the time to get it

 

aka LAG WH0RE!!!!! thats one big azz turbo man.. hahah u could blow smoke like a freight train though!

 

 

maybe a 300shot of nitrous would help

 

Maybe if you put some sort of pulley and belt drove it and had some sort of clutch system that would let it spool it would work. Oh hey here's a thought. Get a sigma some straight shot injectors 1.4 in lines and walla you got the power to drive it. For like a minute maybe less
