New Turbo?

hi guys. just a quick question will a turbo for a 5ek work on a 2ws. I have a kw with a 5ek that puts up over 40 pounds of boost and was wondering if this same turbo would have as much boost on my pete which has a 2ws. with the stock turbo the 2ws is putting up about 30 pounds of boost. Thanks

 

Any updates on your choice? I have a 7fb and am looking into turbo replacement

 

Why would you need to fabricate anything, it would take the same crossover tube/elbow as the 199114 though you may need to find an oil feed and return from a more modern engine.

The 177148 is quite a bit more modern then the 199114 and will likely out preform it in any situation.

 

I've got a friend who runs the same build as I... 3406 mechanical build on a C block. He runs a 6051 and had to modify for the inter cooler as I'd have to do for any newer style setup. His crossover was cut by the Cat House, a hump hose added between the turbo compressor side. Oil feed was changed to a braided line, return cut and hose added with clamps for the offset in the line. Looks good, seems to work good for him. I need to get better spool up on mine... I'm throwing fuel away with bad spots at 1500 to 1600 rpm where it just flutters out.

 

Just put a 178063 Borg Warner wastegated turbo on a 3406B after reading several post in here. I was afraid to use the larger ones a lot of guys recommended, due to be a stock engine, and was worried not enough ponies to turn it. Have to say thanks to a lot of people in here. My buddies truck has never ran so well. Like that fact you can adjust the wastegate also to control your max boost.

 

There are two different crossover tubes for the older engines, one measures 3.75" and the other 4.25" on the turbo side, the later turbos all use the 4.25 tube.

 

No modification, all cat parts with a BW turbo 3406E replacement turbo.

 

Yes, that oil feed line is off of a 3406E that originally had a wastegated turbocharger.
