    Well, I just got home from work, and I am holding an S-3 in my hands, and that is what it looks like (to my crappy eyes) so that normally would be my guess......
    BUT..... I also have another turbo that looks almost identical to that one (came off of a Massey Ferguson combine) that is a T5/6, so...........I will *guess* T5/6 trim!

    I bet its an s-3. Most of the TO4B's that I found when I was searching for one (v-trim or higher) were all s-3's for some reason.

    Very common on diesels 400 cubes or less

    For V-1 trim look at DT466's

    Were most of the DT466's a V trim. I have a line on one of those and was wondering how it'd work on a 302 w/ a mild cam and stock heads???

    I just noticed that you have a turbo I-6. My brother and i did a 250 I-6 in a 1963 Falcon. Lots of fun a small T4ob with a edlebrock fuel injection system and a Tremec system. We deceloped it to be a open track car. It was lots of fun because it was an old 4-door. The hardest part were the brakes as well as getting a decent tire to fit underneath there. Anyways good luck

    Re: Linc

    Thanks, I am hoping the new C4/3000 converter combo will get me into the 12.99's or faster. Best so far has been mid 13's. Engine is 100% stock, high mileage.

    Power...

    We didn't make BIG power out of the 250, we used a torqer cam with 6ish lbs of boost. That brought up the power to 278rwhp and abou 320ish lb-ft of torque. We did take it to El Paso raceway and put down a 13.06@109, we were smoking those tiny 15's all the way down the strip. I think mainly it was because we had 3.35 first and 3.90 rear gear in the 8" van rear end we put under there. STill lots of tun and a 4 door!
    What car is your I-6 in?

    My I-6 is a stock 1982 engine from a parts car, in my stripped and gutted '84.

    I have 3.73's in a trac-loc 31 spline rear, was using stock low stall 1982 C5 Trans with lock-up converter and slipping, hope C4/3000 is a big improvement. Using TO4B "S-3"/"O" trim.
    Have a V-1 trim I am thinking of trying.

    ok, still not to sure on what it is. But I have more #'s for you.

    TO4B46
    465600-6
    Made in England

    Came off a TD60 Turbo Volvo truck. Looks like the engine size was Volvo F 613 5480cc

    I measured the INDUCER with a tape measure since thats all I have and it looks like it is 2 inches exactly. Thanks Guys!

    Yank the cover and get a good measurement. The t5/6 inducer is 2.032", but I would still take it off if I was you.

    I took the cover off and it measured exactly 2.00 inches with a tape measure.

    Close enough to 2.03" (you need a dial caliper there, partner...)

    You need a better measuring instrument than a tape measure to be sure , though!

    That would also be concurrent with the one I have from the Massey Ferguson combine, which used a Perkins diesel (made in England)

    so if it is a t5/6 it will still be to small for a single turbo on a 302 wouldn't it?

    I don't have a map for a T5/6 trim.......I can only "assume" it is between a S-3 and a V-1

    If that is the case - - twin S-3's are good to about 600 HP, and twin V-1's are good to about 800-900????

    Twin T5/6 should be good for around 700 or so?

    I don't have one all put together...

    As soon as I buy a used turbo, I take it all apart and junk the bad pieces and keep the good stuff....

    so - - I could build one for you, to your specs - - but I don't have one sitting on the shelf all ready to go.
