ATX45

whats up im new in here i got a quick question i just bought a turbo and im trying to figure out what it is so i can find a manifold for it all i know is it says garrett 0.52 a/r on the cool side and behind it says tbo3 inside the exhaust port it says 48 a/r i was told it was a t3 but the flange looks a little diffrent than a t3 in the center its round i have a hf manifold for it and i need the adapter but i dont know what plate to buy cause the t3 adapter looks a little diffrent do they make an adapter or even a manifold to use this on my car if they do is this a good size turbo for a d16a6 thanks

Can you post pics of the turbine inlet/outlet?
I take it, you dont know what car it came off of?

hotrex

sounds like an isuzu npr diesel turbo

ATX45

soory cant post pics till tommorow is that isuzu npr turbo a t3 or do you know? i had one other question bout the turbo it has plugs for water cooling i guess can i plug these up and just run the oil lines i dont plan on boosting more than 7lbs i dont know if that matters but thanx for helping

i think i know what your talking about...is the round part flush with the flange or does it sink in?

i don't think i would disconnect the water cooling on your center section. this might cause it to over heat due to the fact that there is only open space in there without the coolant removing heat.

as for an adapter, i can hook you up. just send me a gasket if it is something i haven't made already. click my sig at the bottom of this post to see my fs thread.

we need pics!

I have a t3 to hf adapter plate from weirRacing he does really nice work. the t3 adapter plate fits the tb03 fine. I threw a pic of the t3 adapter plate sitting on the tb03 so you'll have an idea on what it will look like.

You dont have to run the water cooling section if you dont want to, and no you dont even need to plug the holes up with anything. Why? because nothing will come out

If you plan on keeping this turbo for any amount of long time, then go ahead and run the coolant lines, but majority of the time we never run them.

As far as what turbo is a TB03, thats quite vauge since there are about 40 different tb03's. Post some pics so we know whatcha got.

i have the same turbo as the crazy russians pics but heres some of mine anyway so where can i get the flange from and how much is it and is this a good size turbo for my d16a6 thanx http://www.geocities.com/mikeaparici...?1104113275171

that turbo will be perfect for for you a6, as far as flange, the offset of the inlet flange is still the same as a standard t3 flange, it just has a goofy inlet, I'm not sure if one of aarons adapters will seal up correctly.

Crazy Russian said "I have a t3 to hf adapter plate from weirRacing he does really nice work."

So, I guess it will be fine,
