Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

That picture really isnt much to work with.It is ballpark the right physical size. :-\

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Looks like a Saab manifold, so I'll say the turbo A/R might be .42/.48.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

does anybody know for sure.... on the ebay site it says from a saab 9000 and states that its a t3 but furter down on the page it states that its a t2...? so u never know with ebay...i can probably get more pics after school.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Jesus calm down.Yes im pretty positive that is a T3 as i did a little searching on google and that looks to be a Saab T3.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!

THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!!

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

you should take your own advice and hang yourself. thank you! :-*

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

That's not a T3, it's a T25. Let me know what A/R it says on the compressor housing and what A/R it has for an exhaust housing. More than likely it'll be .64 or .68 and isn't the DSM T25. The compressor housing is either a .48 A/R or a .80 A/R and both housings have a slight difference in wheel trim. If it has a .64 A/R exhaus side and a .80 A/R compressor housing then it is the largest of the T25 series and is capable of 32 lbs/min before choking. This same turbo was used on the old Pontiac Grand Prix 3.1 V6.

The .80 A/R compresspr with a 70 trim wheel was used on 1990 + Volvo 740, 760, 940 as well as the 90+ Saab 9000T

EDIT-More than likely it's the .48 A/R compressor housing with the .64 A/R exhaust housing.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

seriously??!?!? god damn it! so what kind of flange does it have? is this turbo even useable?

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

I wouldn't say it if I wasn't.

T25.

Who knows? You won't know until you recieve it. If you're talking about usable for your engine, of course it will be provided it is in usable condition to begin with. You never mentioned what engine you'll be installing it on so "Is it usable?" is a trick question.

Whether or not your engine can make use of it is more about what goals you're going for in the first place. For a noob with a D series, it'll be fine but will run out of steam far before redline.

Since you asked this question to begin with, I'd say you'll be fine.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

so this turbo is smaller then a t25? i have a d15b7....

uhh wtf this is the third wrong ------- turbo!!! i hate it when people dont know what the ---- they are talking about! wtf if you guys dont have truthful information then dont provide people with it...i just lost 110$ b/c of dumbass people who dont know what the ---- they are alking about.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

No. It IS a T25. You'll have to wait until it arrives to see what compressor housing it has which will dictate which trim the compressor wheel is. From the looks of it, it is a .48 A/R compressor housing.

You're a noob and you'll be fine.

Maybe if you would have researched it a little more before bidding then you wouldn't have a problem. And I'm not talking about posting a "OMG WTF kind of turbo is this?" thread three hours before the auction ends.

This is nobodies fault but your own. Considering your knowledge of turbos, I'm guessing your tuning skills are about the same. As said, you'll more than likely be fine with a T25 especially with a 70 trim .80 A/R, it it is indeed a 70 trim .80 A/R. (the largest T25)

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Dude that is not a t25 looks exactly like my t3 .42 .48's. Sabbs did'nt come with t-25's but t3's .42 .48's like the turbo pictured. I think the guy above dosent know what he's talking about. -Nick

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Holy ---- pal you really need to calm down.First you bitch that no one is answering your post then your bitching about the info you got. ::) It looks just like a T3 that comes off a Saab so I would wait till it arrives before going off on a rant at people.


They did come with a T25 in some of the newer models but I agree that does not look like one.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

I actually know what I'm talking about.

Just because a turbo looks like your's doesn't mean ----...

That's probably a T17 or a T25, based on the exhaust manifold, which is DEFINITELY from a late-80s to mid-90s Saab 9000. These were the turbos used on the 9000. You would need to know which car this came from to determine whether it was the smaller of the two.

Depending on the year of the Saab 9000, it may use a T3 or a T25 exhaust flange. If the car was pre-93, it might be a T3. It's it's 93 and newer, T25.

sorry for freakin out...just got pissed off....and dont call me a noob fucker...ur the one with 3 posts...but anyways thanks for all the helpful information guys! also how do i tell if it is a t3 flange or t25 b/c they look somewhat similar....well i really dont know b/c i havnt seen one in person but in the pic it looks similar to a t3 flange.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

The dimensions are different. The T3 is squarish, while the T25 is rectangular.

EDIT: Google is your friend...

Dimensions of Exhaust Manifold flanges for Garrett T3 and T25:

The Garrett TB03 mount flange outside dimensions are approx. 90mm x 82mm, with 4 bolt attachment holes, on rectangle 85 mm x 45 mm c/c apart.
A Garrett T25 flange & bolt holes are smaller, mount flange is approx 92mm x 62mm, with 4 bolt attachment holes, on rectangle 72 mm x 40 mm c/c apart.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

whats the wastegate set at on these? is it the same as the dsm t25s???

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

i have a turbo laying around, looks exactly like yours, and i'm having the same doubts. I'm pretty sure its a t25 from saab, i got mine from 91-92 i think. Anyway i ordered a t25 flange, so i'll let you know if it fits.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

the A/R is .48/.49

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

ok so it is a t25. just got the flange, fits perfect.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

alright thanks for letting me know...looks like im just gonna use this one....insted of the t3....but w/e hopefully it will work fine...but anyways does anyody know what the internal wastegate is set at? also is this smaller, larger , or the same size as a dsm t25???

thanks

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Is the compressor housing a .48 or .80 A/R? The 60 trim can come with either a .48 or .80 compressor housing but the 70 trim that I was referring to has a .80 A/R compressor housing with a .68 A/R exhaust housing. If your turbo has a .48 or .80 A/R compressor housing and a .64 A/R exhaust housing then it will have a 60 trim compressor wheel.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

well i don A/R is b/c i havnt recived the tubo yet...but do u know what the wastegate is set at?

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Well, as i mentioned before the a/r is .48/.49 The wastegate is set to 7psi, but dont quote me on this.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

That is a Saab manifold, and a T3 .48 exh .42 compressor IIRC.
Known as the "T3 45 trim"

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

lol wow i wish i knew the "true" answer to what turbo this is....i keep getting mixed answers!

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Im pretty sure it is a T3 but wait until it arrives before speculating.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

yea....but say this is the t25 or w/e....i did a lil bit of reading and from what i found its not a standerd t25 flange...like a dsm one? so is this thing even usable...i found some adapter plates on bmc race for a t25 but they were for a dsm...

can somebody help me?

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Exactly. Unless you know the specific year and model it came from, there's no way to tell. At one point, Saab used three different turbos in the 9000 and 900, two different Garretts and a Mitsu.

The info I posted above should help you narrow it down.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

i belive that it came from a saab 9000CD but im not sure of the year.... ill tell u for sure whden i get home.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

ok i just got it today and its a t25 flange....so is this turbo useable or what? do they make an adapter plate for it???

any information is helpful!

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

where did u buy the adapter plate? can you give me a link?

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

They are one of the sponsors on HMT. http://www.bmcrace.com/products/flanges/ T25 Garrett Turbine Inlet
(not DSM)W/8-1.25MM Threaded Bolt Holes . My turbo has the treaded bolts on it, so i'm goona have to dril the threads out from the flange. Ask them if they make one w/out the threaded bolt holes.

Re: Turbo I.D. Help asap!!! what turbo is this??? PIC!!!
 

Also i'm using the DIY log mani from tunertoys, and they only had one with a T3 flange, but sold it to me for 20$less w/out the flange. So i'm not using the adapter plate, but bmcrace.com might have it. just depends what mani u got.
