del sol turbo help
 
Hi, i have a 95 del sol b16a3, and i recently got a turbo out of a saab, i think its a t3/t4, i can check, but what i need to know is where i can get a manifold that will fit that turbo, or how i can make one, because looking at it now, the turbo is backwards to where my manifold is.

I don't think Saabs came with t3/t4's.

You can spin a turbo outside of its wastegate housing that may make it bolt up better, or you need a different style manifold.

No cars come with a t3/t4 stock, its like a frankinstien turbo..its a t4 compressor and T3 exhaust housing/turbine. And that T3 from the saab is gonna be wayyyy to small for your b16a, i think its a .42/.48, that turbo would prolly stop pulling at like 6500 RPM's. sell the turbo and get something bigger, if you use that turbo, you will prolly hate it and still get smoked by everyone. on the highway expecially its gonna be a hugeeeee restriction.

You're shifting a B18 at 6500????? ??? Why not take it the rest of the way? ???

Same here, my LS stops pulling at around 6200rpms, so I shift between 65-6800 rpms.

everyone right now have me thinking maybe I should stay NA I have the same turbo, putting it on tomarrow on jdm b16a2, is worth it? the fact I'm already fast.

well if you think your already fast, and your happy with it, why bother.. but race a 98-02 camaro/trans am...and you will be begging for a turbo.
