Dodge t3 Flange
 

Bought a t3 turbo off ebay thinking the flange was the normal t3 flange, well come to find out its actually a dodge t3 flange from like a daytona or something...

well anyway I bought a HF manifold as well as a t3 to HF mani from BMC all to find out that all the stuff doesnt even line up.

So Im wondering if anyone has ideas on how to fab it all up or even know?

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

BMC does sell the right plate that you need.

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

They sell the correct flange, don't think they have an adapter plate though.

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

yeah theres no adaptor plates for em, someone on another forum was saying line everything up and then just weld it..dunno if that'd work...plus some of the bolts for the HF go into the turbo (run into the flange)

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

I have the same turbo...I think Im going to weld it on.

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

redrill the dodge flange to bolt it onto a regular T3 flange. Thats your best bet

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

there are pics of this. who has em?
you have to grind the turbine housing and drill 2 new holes I'm pretty sure.

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

Thats the least of your problems though. You also need to make a new 5-bolt flange for the outlet. Its not the same as a mercedes or ford/svo style. Its tighter than ----, and won't allow for much beyond a 2" dp, unless you don't mind running w/o 1 or 2 bolts. The turbo will bolt up fine to a volvo or saab housing, assuming its the .48 t3 that you find.

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

ask bmc nicely I have a feeling he sold these plates and still can make them. He has made a bunch that arent on his site. Itll proably cost ya a couple bucks more for his time but be nice and have a nice bolt on affair.

Swap the housing on the turbo to a standard T3.

oh you should of left your drunken rage comments on hmt from last night

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

I ran that same turbo with a HF mani, fabbed up a adapter plate it took all of maybe 45 mins, most of which was smoothing the inside hole with a die grinder.

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

shoulda drilled it straight, but m10 should hold

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

what do you mean drilled it staight?

like just left it un-threaded?

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

yes. bolts/washers > tapped cast iron threads.

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

oh no I'll still put nuts on there. figured why the hell not tap it out since the adaptor is that size

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

looks very good young grass hopper

Re: Dodge t3 Flange
 

thanks. Now all I need is to get the bolts for that, ECU chipped, some way to resist the 450's, oil lines, and I'll be boosting, all this on a d15b7.
