I haven't been able to get activated over at superturbodiesel to ask my question there so I figured I'd ask it here for now. With my new 99 E300 acquisition and the desire to have a fast car (since my 300ZX hasn't been on the road in ages), I thought of an old turbo I have laying around.

I bought this turbo for my 1JZ I was going to swap into an SC300 I had and never got around to using it. I got it from a guy on the Starion/Conquest forum. He had it on his car and it was way too much turbo for him, so he sold it. I bought it because of the .68 hot side, which should have spooled great on the 2.5 1JZ motor. It's an older technology turbo, but I already have it, so no cost for a new turbo.

Anyways, here are the specs he gave me:

Precision SC63 T4 big shaft
P trim .68 turbine with 3" v-band outlet
S cover with anti surge

I used to have much more info on it when I had the turbo handy so I could Google the various numbers on the housings for extra info. Anyway, Precision rated this as a 700-750hp turbo. Granted, I don't want to run annnnnywhere near that much, just curious if this would be a good turbo on lower boost to get me up and going or if it's going to spool TOO fast and run out of steam because it's a .68 hotside and 3.0 liters of displacement pushing it. I could probably pick it up from my parent's house next time I'm out that way at work and re-Google the specs if anyone needs more information off of it.

Fuel is your biggest bottle neck, not the turbo.

That turbo will give you no power gains since your injection pump will remain stock.

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.

Well I know the injector pump needs to be hotrodded and supporting mods, I was just talking about for future use. That's assuming I can afford a transmission build to get it to actually handle power lol Surely, Mercedes didn't include a transmission capable of handling big power right out of the box on their E300s.

Smaller turbo housing the better. Faster spool. Look for an HY35 cummins turbo have a manifold built with a flange for the HY35. They’re good for 300hp
