Hey guys i havent posted much before as i just got my 240 about a month ago but i haven been planning a turbo ka 240 project for well over a year anyways.
i got a turbo lying around and before i piece it together i need to identify some parts of it
the turbo was out of a volvo it was originally a t3 with e .48 turbine and a .42 ar comp side
i have disassembled this turbo and im going to put a t4 comp housing and change the turbine housing to a .68
i have a airesearch t04 comp housing its labeled s trim and says 60 a/r on it i wanted to know which compressor map applies to this comp housing and inducer wheel, the inducer wheel size is 34mm.
here are some pics of it
thanks

i want to reach 400whp the setup is going to be custom fabbed by me as i work for a shop the only debate i have now is what ems to use im thinking between perfect power prs4 and the emanage ultimate, as for the turbo choice depending on the math i may have to redesign this turbo but since i got it all for free the housing and the wheel and the actual t3 im trying to work with it to save some $ if i cannot use it i will buy other parts to reach the 400whp goal.

So basically youre only keeping the center bearing section of the Volvo T3??
I dont see a T04 comp wheel with a 34mm (1.339") inducer. Maybe its a AiResearch wheel. Its hard to find info on them, cause I think they were bought out by Garrett.http://64.225.76.178/catalog/comp_wheels.html
thanks for the link, it definitly is a airesearch housing and wheel and it appears to be a standard shaft size since in still using the .48 turbine from the volvo turbo, the strange thing is the inducer wheel is 34mm or 1.333inches which equates to a t3 wheel on the spread sheet you have linked so im confused now.
