A friend of mine is moving out in a hurry and is giving away his things... free turbo!

It's a t3 with 80k or so miles, in need of a rebuild. Would this be suitable for an NA>T conversion with relatively low power goals? (250-300rwhp)

 

[zz_denis]

It wont fit the stock manifold/dp. It would be much cheaper for you to go with the ct-26 for the NA-T than do all the work to make this turbo fit.

prob not worth your time.....looks quite small....

 

[raven97990]

I tell you what, I'll give you triple what you paid for it shipped..... =) <- Really, I might take it for a resonable price, let me know.

And that was a partial whore post just so I could hit 500!! Wootness.

Hang it on your wall. :bigok:

 

[cnewingham]

use it as a paper weight!

 

[Ckanderson]

I didnt know they made turbo's that small... :lol:

 

[miekedmr]

I guess it would be better-suited for a 4-banger, then?
Too bad my 22re is 10:1 CR. I could probobly get away with 8 psi and still use pump gas, though. hmmmm...

Apparently, you havent seen the 1.8T's turbo :lol:

garret t3's come on 84-89 300zx t's. not sure what trim that one is, but a ct26 would be a much better bet.

 

[JonnyRedline]

id love to get a hold of a turbo like that, clean it up, and make a bong outta it

 

[jbsupra89t]

If you dont find a use, e-bay it and make some money

smaller than a ct26...

i would sell it, its not really worth the time

Nope, 84-87. 88-89 300ZX Turbos had a T25, which is smaller.

The CT26 is larger than that by quite a bit.

He's right,the T25 was used later one because of the bump in compression from like 7.5:1 to 8.1:1. Horsepower stayed the same because the t25 was boosted to ~9psi,and the T3 was set at 6.

I believe the 88-89 had an extra 5hp, due to the higher compression and slightly higher boost, and it had a lot less lag due to the smaller turbo.

The T3 has more potential, but even so, any way you look at it, you're gonna need to upgrade the turbo at some point, they're both pretty small.

A T3 wouldn't be a bad turbo for an N/A-T though, but you'd need a manifold for it.

 

[toyota_supra_1988]

yeah, the 84-89(early 89) had hte garrett t25. The T3 wouldnt be bad for an n/a-t, if you can find a manifold for it for pretty cheap go for it. Seeing as you got it for free, you could always turbo the 22re lol. The Z32 had twin t2/t25

Get rid of the ugly rusted part, chrome out the fins and make a spinners necklace
