Gonna be making a trip to the scrap yard this weekend. Looking for a t3 turbo that can handle 200or so whp

What are some good cars to search.
So far I've got 83-86 t bird 5 speed
I know some volvos. Dunno wich ones
I heard tdi vw's are t3

If someone could give me a list of good options it would be appreciated.

 

I believe the turbos you'd find on the vw/audi is the KKK K03. They put them on their 1.8 liter engines like you might find on say, an Audi A4. That 1.8 liter is a 20 valve. I put one on a 1.6 8 valve engine and am very happy with the results. What engine are you trying to boost by the way?

 

i have a d16y8. currently stock internals..

 

saabs have t3 too
i think the first gen 300zxs had t3s

 

yea but those are the gas engines.. do they use the same turbos for the tdi?

 

You could search the turbo for the diesel (tdi) also the flange for that kkk k03 is a three bolt config, not a 4 bolt like a t3 would be

 

i found a nice turbo i might buy, its huge. gm5 i think its the 5.. its off a 6.5L turbo diesel. from the searching i have done. its a t3 flange, and spools up a bit late.. but thats ok in my books. found on another forum, a guy with a b16 running one at 4psi, spools at about 3k and had just a tad over 200whp.


opinions on this turbo?

 

Here is a good read on the GM turbos.
Big turbo, small budget. IHI RHC6 GM 1-8 - Mazda MX6 Forums: MX6 Forum

 

thats actualy the thread i was reading earlier.. and found the info about the b16 making about 200whp at 4psi. seemed promissing enough for me.. and it didnt spool up that late either. and i want a bit of boost free rpm anyway.

 

from that thread
