thatss a 63 if you cant tell on the flange. if that makes a diff.

i dont know exact numbers. but the exhaust housing is probably a .63 a/r on a t3 flange of an early z31 300zx and as for intake it beats me. im trying to identify this turbo so i know what pressure i should be running it at max. its been highflowed and rebuilt very recently.

thanks for any help

Ok. I am NO turbo expert by any means.  
Yet, that looks a lot like a 6.5 turbo diesel off a GM with a diff intake housing.  
Could even be off a Hino. The GM 5500 cube vans with the straight 6 IIRC.

Thats my guess? Hope it helped Stu.

Thanks Chris. I have already established it’s off an early 80s Nissan with a t3 flange due to the markings on the flang. As for the intake housing I’m guessig it’s off a generator cause airreasearch is basically a Garret turbo that was made before 1980 I think. It’s been rebuilt and highflowed.
