Yeah, but what does it all mean?

 

[Mitch]

I mean the trim, ratio malarky, not the obvious bits

 

[SteveC200]

Trim refers to the wheel (largest diameter and smallest diameter), A/R refers to the housings (CSA/radius).

 

[Phil LS]

The letter on the trim (e.g TD06-20G) refers to the style of exhaust wheel. So the example will have a G style wheel....

 

[Mitch]

And a G style wheel is what, please?

Thanks for the lesson, chaps, BTW.

Could do a search for all this, but then no one else who is too embarrassed to ask will be any the wiser. I've been a mechanic for years, but have never really needed to know this info before.

(first for everything)

wish they gave you lessons on this in GSCE

alot more useful than who killed who 5000 years ago,
and how to bake a chocolate log!
