T3 turbo question
 

i am going to be buying a t3 .60 .63. can i swap out the turbine side of the turbo to a .48 or .50? and have a hybrid t3?? wat is the difference between a t4 .60 and a t3 .60??? thanks

anyone have any idea?

Re:T3 turbo question
 

you can swap from a .63 exhaust to a .48 exhaust just by swapping the exhaust housing to a .48 i believe. As for T3 .60 compressor, thatll support 300hp, a T4 .60 compressor supports 450hp or so... big difference

sweet...thanks...now i have one more question - can i take an exhaust housing off of a saab or something? .48 i think. do i need it to be rebalanced? Thanks

Re:T3 turbo question
 

if you're just swapping the exhaust housing you don't need to rebalance

Re:T3 turbo question
 

but i can do what i want to do right? its an easy swap? anyone ever do it before? thanks

Re:T3 turbo question
 

its pretty easy but you gotta be careful taking the old housing off... you cant damage the turbine wheel, and the bolts in the centersection are pita to take off... youre gonna need to be careful you dont break them off

Re:T3 turbo question
 

get some good penetrating lube and let it soak in the bolts for a day or two. those exhaust side bolts are tough and you don't want to break any. if you have a torch, that would help when removing em.
good luck.

Re:T3 turbo question
 

yes try not to break any bolts.......I still have a broken bolt thats being a bitch >:(
