TV8511 turbo
 

I have a new Garrett TV8511 turbo. It's off of a Detroit 8v92. I got in trade for some work I did and have zero use for this thing. It's HUGE, weighs in at around 70lbs with the "Y"-flange. I'd like $300obo or I might consider a trade. I'd be interested in a set of stock Jeep XJ aluminum wagon-spoke wheels or the later 5-star wheels, a good 350 crankshaft, or maybe something else I'd at least listen to the offer. I'd really like to get this thing off my workbench shelf.

Great looking paper-weight!! :D

Just kidding. Just WAY bigger than any project I anticipate owning.

Free bump for ya, though!

wats the mm? any ideas on the hp that big thing can handle:rocking:

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe if I built the crap out of a 6B and compount that bastard I could use it, but the only plans I've got for one of those is a bone stock non-IC 12v in my M715.


As to the HP this thing is good for, I don't know. I've only done minor research on it. I know it was used mainly on 8v92t engines. I found on a racing site that for a gas motor to use it you need at least 454cid in a "race prepped" engine or 500+ in a street-type engine. I know that doesn't tell you a damn thing though.

The cold side is an A/R .81 and is roughly 116.5mm on the inside. The Hot side is an A/R 1.23 and is roughly 111mm ID.

Cool! A Kaiser. Do you have a build/project/show-it-off thread? I'd love to see it.

I haven't started it yet, just have the M and an 01 Ram, gas motor :(, chassis sitting around. I'm hoping to start it this winter.

I started thinking I could compound it on my pickup but then remembered I'm no where near the required fueling for that freakin monster :scare2:
Bump for ya though, I'm pretty sure someone's got the necessities for it :c:

Wondering if I could use it in a compound setup..where are u located?

Norfolk, VA

bump....
