turbo size

[acbigshow]

ok Im putting a tranny for this guy and for payment hes giving me a 90 GSX. anyways I looked at the car and it runs great 141,000 miles on it but the turbo is bad I have 2 t3 turbos I could use . So heres my question will a t3 turbo fit on the existing manifold or will I have to get another manni to make it fit or do I need to get a t25 to fit the manni

The t3's wont fit. You need a turbo with a mitsubishi housing, like a 14b, t25, 16g and so on. Or buy a t3 mani, but you need a lot of supporting mods to run them.

 

[acbigshow]

what kinda mods we talkin about

 

[JayRolla]

You can do some searching but heres a small run down. FMIC, injectors, fuel pump, FPR, fuel management of some sort, 2g maf or blow through set up, mani, exhaust.

 

[acbigshow]

well how hard is it to put new seals in the turbo? the turbo still boosts and all but it smokes like crazy

 

[JayRolla]

How bad is the shaft play if any?

That's not necessarily true, you don't need a mitsubishi compressor housing to bolt it onto the stock manifold, you just need the turbo to have a mitsubishi flange on the hot side. For example, the sbr g series turbos all have garret compressor housings but are still "bolt on" turbos. And yes if you plan on putting a t3 on your car its will take alot to get it to run efficiently, but dont put a t25 on you car, just find someone selling a 14b on the forums, they usually go for a hundred dollars or less.

 

[JayRolla]

Yea your right thats what I ment, im pretty sure he has a straight t3. Sorry for the miswording.

 

[acbigshow]

what you mean striaght t3

 

[JayRolla]

Some t3's have a mitsubishi exhaust flange, so they will fit on your stock manifold.

 

[acbigshow]

so could I take the t3 compressor and put it on the 14b exhaust housing and make it work

More like you need to buy an exhaust manifold with a t3 flange to make it work.

 

[JayRolla]

Yep DSMark is right^^^^^

 

[acbigshow]

so Its not possible to put a t3 compressor on the 14b exhaust housing and bolt it up

No its not, the exception being a T3 ready to bolt on to stock DSM manifold, sold as a specialty item by shops catering to DSM enthusiests. If you had this you would know it.
