where can i find one of those? did they come on a certain car?
this is also what i have, on a b16 though, if i had a d series i would go with the the .48/.60 instead of the .63/.60. the smaller the first number (exhaust), the quicker it's gonna spool, the larger the second number (compressor), the more air it's gonna flow. go with a .48/.60, that's prolly the best turbo you could get for a d series. but a smaller .48/.42 (only smaller compressor so it won't flow as much as the .60) will be more than enought as well (these are the most common t3's off of saab's, volvo's, some nissan's, etc.). and as far as the .63/.60, they come off of the old turbo thunderbirds
84-88 i believe, and i'm pretty sure the old svo mustangs 84-86 according to my domestic co worker.

The easiest place to find a .60/.63 turbo is at a junkyard on older nissans. As for the saab t3, I am currently running one on my 93 hatch Si (d16z6). It spools fully at 3200 and pulls all the way to redline easy. I shift at 7500 and it is still pulling. I have a .60/.63 that I am wanting to try, but the saab one is good. It would probably surprise you.

Is the Nissan t3 a 63/60 or 60/63?
I thought it was a 63/60...

Im using one and I can say it pulls to red line on my D.

i cleaned it and got all the old gunk out of it lastnight and it spins like a dream with no play what-so-ever, guess that means no rebuild for me. good thing because a shop here said $280 for labor then parts. :o
