What arethey?

[RCCUMMINS89]

5x13.5 that will be opened up to around the 70-75ish mark

[RCCUMMINS89]

So the turbo came today...........it's a 23 cm divided housing (apparently people are just dumb sometimes)

[4thesporty]

Divided??? Is it gated?

[RCCUMMINS89]

Nope......It measures 71/?78-80ish?/23 divided. Thing will spool at like probably 1500 rpms, but I think I'm gonna run into major over boosting issues.

[Mark Nixon]

Head gasket popper, eh?

Mark.

[RCCUMMINS89]

Yep, matched with an he351cw... should be a block splitter. Might make 1500#ft/tq and 400hp though.

[Mark Nixon]

Well, if you're interested in experimenting at making scrap metal, I could probably provide an HE351cw to help accomplish the feat.
I really need to get onto rebuilding a few of those and some VEs.

[RCCUMMINS89]

It shouldn't be too bad....... I'll just have to make my power where the ve wants you to...... I KNOW I KNOW, what a weird concept that most people don't like to do.

I don't drag race, so high rpm doesn't help me as much. I want my power in my DD power band (1500-2500rpms). This might be a little on the tight end being a divided housing, but if it is and I'm over boosting I can swap housings later.

[The_Head]

You'll be alright with the 23 housing. It still takes awhile for the 3B to get going.

[RCCUMMINS89]

Do you have the 26 housing?

[The_Head]

No, I have the 23.

[RCCUMMINS89]

That's good to know.... I don't see many of the 23 housings? Do you know if yours is a divided housing as well? What rpms is your set up fully lit ?

[The_Head]

I don't remember if it is divided or not. I have no tach, so I don't know exactly when it lights up either. It clears up the 6 x 14's nice up top though, but the VE also flows less fuel the higher you go, so...
