hi all

im have been looking at a spare turbo that i have this evening. i wonder if anyone can help with the spec?

there is a tab stating that it is a 'remanucactured' by 'turbo centre, nothants'. i have had a quick google and this looks to be cr turbos. the unit number is not clear though.

there is very little play in the shaft and its all fitted up to the metro ehaust manifold, downpipe, actuator, oil drain, so it looks to have been fited to an a series at some point.

for the interesting part - the compressor housing has 'air research' cast into it, along with 'BCC AR 42. '42' is also cast into the inside of this compressor housing. stamped into the housing is 430947-32

the turbine housing has '28A3' or '2843' along with '2JW M4'

does anyone have any pointers as to what this turbo might be and if it would be any good for a high powered a series turbo?

many thanks, dan

have done a bit more research, looks like a standard metro t3. can anyone confirm this for me? cheers, dan

Have a look on the exhaust housing for a cast number .25 .36 .48 etc this will tell you what size it is .25 is standard metro size. What does the compressor hosing look like?

hi, thanks for that. a few pics there. if i can get other pics to help with the id let me know, cheers, dan





cheers

Need the exhaust side pics with any details on it dan

ok steve, will sort some pics of the whole thing tomorrow. got a feeling its a standard metty one, will get some pics up so someone can hopefully confirm.

on a side note steve i have had a look for that cylinder head that i mentioned the oher day, cant seem to find it though. we have so much stuff here its unreal, i will take another look at the weekend if i get time,

cheers, dan
