Is their such a thing as a standard T3, a model which is more common and theirfore cheaper to buy than all others?

I've seen some rebuilds for pretty cheap on the net, like $350.

The reason I ask is I'm designing a Toyota 4ag manifold that will be cast, and I want it to work with the most popular turbo model.

I currently have Saab and Volvo T3's one has an oddball flange. I've seen the chrysler ones, they are pretty common but seem to have a weird exhaust housing.

the t3 42/48 is considered standard i believe....most manufacturers use those

 

SAAB, Ford and GM all use the "standard" Garrett T3 rectangular flange, Volvo uses it also but with a weird round indention that makes it hard to use. The most plentiful turbo buy far is the SAAB 900 and 9000 units, .48 AR exhaust .42 AR air. The Ford Tbird unit is harder to come by but is a .60 AR air compressor.The Chrysler unit is a freak, it has a strange flange and is backwards from everything else.

 

T-bird manual is .60/.63 60-trim
T-bird auto is .60/.42 ??-trim prob. 60-trim

 

auto is a 60/48, same as the 60/63 just with a 63 turbine housing (you can swap them)...

 

thanks, I'll look at building around the saab unit.
