WTF?!?! Dude, I wasn't misleading you at all! I told you what I THOUGHT it was. T25 always have that weird curved outlet. Yours doesn't not to mention the 5 bolt flange is common on T3s. I apologize man. I didn't mean to mislead you. My T3 is .42/.48 and it looks much smaller than that thing and I KNOW T2s are smaller than mine. I once again apologize.

Re: Bought new t25 check it out.
This is killing me does anyone know anywhere i can call. I even have both part numbers. Garrett refers u to a distrbutor for info but i doubt they would take the time to help.
Just called a turbo place and they said it is off a sunbird
Dam should i just go 14b or is this gonna be just as good as a t25/14b

Re: Bought new t25 check it out.
LoL...
I'm surprised not many people have seen this turbo! Haha...
I used to have one of those turbos. Yes, it is a T25. The turbine inlet flange is rectangular like a T3 but a little smaller, it will NOT work with a T3 flanged manifold. It will work with the Greddy manifold or HKS manifold, both of which have a rectangular flange. I think they call it a Nissan style T25 as opposed to the DSM T25 with the circular inlet.
I used an HF manifold with an adapter plate that I bought from BMC.
You can clock the turbo so the compressor points downwards but you have to use very large snap ring pliers because there is a 5" snap ring holding the compressor in place. It took me a while to even find snap ring pliers that would work with it, but once you find them it's super easy to clock. And just drill and tap new holes to mount the wastegate once you have it positioned where you want it. There is a rim all the way around the compressor that can be tapped anywhere, which is nice.
I'm not sure if I answered all of the questions... I don't think it's ball bearing, I bought mine for $250 brand new which leads me to believe it's not BB. Oh, the oil fittings are kind of a pain to find, I had to search for a while before I found some that worked.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Re: Bought new t25 check it out.
That is indeed a T25 off of a mid 80's sunbird. I bought a few of those. Garrett was clearing them out at one point becuase they had a ton of inventory and no demand for them.
It most likely is brand new, but it's certainly not ball bearing. It's a straight T25, not a T28, and good for roughly 200 flywheel horsepower. As another poster mentioned, it has odd oil inlets and outlets.
It does however, have the standard T25 outlet flange, so if you got a dump pipe for an SR20DET on ebay, it will bolt up to it.
They're a good deal considering they're brand new. I paid $180 each for my four brand new, and sold 3 of them for much more than that.
They're quite small, though.
