yes it is a 350 turbo trans is always just that a turbo 350, almost all Chevy parts are interchangeable, it is the same transmission and chances are they both have the same engine most v8 gm be it car or truck use similar drive train unless its 4x4 than it wont work in a car
It will be a 350 turbo if its a half ton. 400 turbo if its a 2500 or 3500 NEUTZ
turbo 350 or a turbo 400 turbo 400 has rounded pointed area at end of pan..newer models got a early model 700!!
4 and a half litres
Not from the factory. They came factory with a idi 7.3 L They started a factory turbo about half way through 93, then half way through 94 they went to the direct injection powerstroke.
half a ton
Very very expensive. But scope out STS turbos. They are mounted behind the cat just before the muffler. One single turbo can only produce about 8 lbs. of boost but its lag time is nearly non exsistent or at worst half as bad as a regular turbo. 4th gen f bodies are very difficult to front-mount turbo charge. http://www.ststurbo.com/universal_system
It's generally agreed that twin turbos spool quicker (less turbo lag) with more low end power. Single turbos usually have better performance in the upper half of the RPM range i.e. drag racing, but twin turbos are also usually smoother i.e. city driving. Twin turbos also generally larger and take up more space than a single turbo. Designed and implemented properly, they have comparable power.
It depends on the motor and the amount of boost. Normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, so that's the condition your car is running in while naturally aspirated. If you add a turbo that provides 14.7 psi, for example, in theory you have doubled the power output of your engine. That won't actually be the case exactly because of losses to friction, heat etc.... For example.. if your car has 100hp and you add a turbo that provides 14.7 psi of boost, your car will now produce 200hp, theoretically. If your turbo puts out about 7psi (half atmospheric pressure), you will get a gain of hp totaling half of what your engine made normally, 150hp total in this case.
Driver side of engine block. About half way front to back, near the top.
Both twin turbo AND Twin superchargered, you could..but it would be a complicated installation. Also it would be a very expensive to do, and not worth it...horsepower wise. Volkswagen did have a car with both a supercharger and a turbo. The real reason to run twin - anything... Is that there isn't enough room to fit 1 Big one or you have a sequential set up with a small turbo for low end response and a big turbo for the top end. Twin set-ups are more expensive, complex. You can debate that twins spool faster, but they only see half the exhaust flow, and I have never seen a back to back test proving it and most big turboes are more effiecent.
5X5 Chevy pattern like half ton trucks, some vans including astros
If your rpms bounce and jump your clutch could be going bad. Check you turbo cause it may be getting bad but first id replace your intake if its 5yrs old it sounds like your not getting enough air flow.
