Garett T-5 on KA24DE? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

juSt_1n_kas3 · 10-04-2008, 12:24 PM

Today at work I met a guy who worked at honywell (started at garett before it was bought over)

I was joking with him about hooking it up with a turbo charger & he said he has a t5 in his garage about 10 years old that he never used.

I was wondering if the t5 would be compatible with my 91 ka, and if it was compatible is it worth it or is it just going to be a waste considering i would have to replace the internals (the engine has about 80k on it)

I'm novice to building an engine so an info would be cool, maybe even a good place to look as far as learning how a turbo works in hand with my engine

-thanks

Are we talking like a GTB57-70?

Maximum Boost is a good book to read.
