Did I get Scammed???
 

Hey guys, I am kinda new to the turbo scene. I bought a turbo from a guy who had the setup on his 95 Civic Ex. He told me that it is an aftermarket turbo made for a 4 cyl mustang. It is a Garret T3 the ar is .60. He didn't know any of the specs on it. When I try to find the specs on the internet, the only Garret T3 that I find that has an ar of .60 are stock Ford turbos. He swore to me that it wasn't a junkyard turbo. TIA

post a pic most of the guys on here can name a turbo just by looking at it - cuz sometimes it says the specs on the turbo itself- :o

but yeah look in the exhaust inlet and compressor inlet for a number that says the ar, if you didnt know this

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

i didnt know they made 4 cyl mustangs? ???

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

older svo's were turbo 4's, plus they had regualr 4 cylinders ones

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

Haha yeah I owned one at one time. 87 mustang lx. 4cylinder power baby!!

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

i thought the lx was 5.0? oh well i couldnt care less about gay ass mustangs unless its turbo or a new svt cobra or maybe the new supercharged ones with like 400 or 500 horses?

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

Why the ---- do import guys (not alot of you guys) bash mustangs? My stock fox can easily beat a turbo'd 4.Don't mean to be an -------, but this erollin guy is a ------- douche bag.

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

Wait, so the guy said it was off a Ford Mustang, then you search and find out it came off a Ford. What is wrong with that? Isn't it possible a stock Ford turbo came off a Mustang. Anyway, a 60 trim T3 is sweet.

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

I am not saying that I am suprised to find that it came off of a Ford. But he told me it was an aftermarket turbo, not a stock turbo. But ar size I can only match up with a Garret stock turbo and not an aftermarket one.

Turbo GT in 85 and the SVO in 86,87,88 maybe more. 2.3L 4cylinders that would keep up with the 5.0 GT of the day.

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

hey does your turbo have a t3 flange on it or is it a round inlet with two bolt holes?

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

yup they came on the svo mustangs...a buddy of mine has one there pretty quick... as for the ar im not sure

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

I'm pretty sure it's a T3 Flange. But let me double check

LX bodies barely weighed anything. They were originally used for the 2.3 NAs, but then ford was like 'hey, wouldnt it be great if a car that weighed a BILLION lbs less with a motor that is a BAJILLION times more powerful' so they did and it was wonderful, AMEN! I'd love thave a LX Coupe in all black with like black steelies with a chrome center, flowmaster, x-pipes, all that fun stuff. I'd be in heaven, a buddy of mine supposedly picked one up with a TT in it, but he's a fibber so I dont believe him.

The new cobras ARE the supercharged ones. but when it comes down to it, its still a Ford. Chevy > Ford > Mopar :-D

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

mabey cause except for the saleens and the cobras, they are ugly as hell and are generaly fairly piggish.

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

Amen for that

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

Those 5.0 fox bodies were also used for cop cars back in the day. One of my buddies has it and its pretty fast.

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

Yea man, like a grocery getter looks better, and is "hella fast" with a SOHC 1.5 ::) jackass...

Re:Did I get Scammed???
 

yeah, the coupes, those are what they got the idea of a 5.0 lx from. My ideal one is the police interceptor.
