sup... i got a brand new garret t3? or sumthin i dont know exactly what it is... look at the pics... its new, and has a t3 flange..

well, i have a dsm manifold on my ----, so the t3 flange wasent workin... i had a blown t25 layin around, and thought "hmmm... maybe if i take off the turbine housing, and put it on the t3 i can use it?" and that idea was born.... at around 2 o'clock i was diggin out the turbo, out of a pile, cold as pile.. and started takin it apart.... took the new one apart also. i put the t25 (dsm) exhaust housing on t3. and the wheel didnt spin...i put grease on the inside to see were it was hittin, and it was just the tip of the fins... maybe 1/8 of an inch. so off to the grinder... kept grindin untill it spun freely.. i grinded it a little over, so when shaftplay sets in, it would have cleanrence.... it fit perfectly, and it had an adjustable wastegate, but didnt fit right, so i tapped on the copressor housing for the bracket... fits good...

is there any reason why it wouldnt work? also, if it doesnt, i will find out tomomrow, cuz im throwin it on... if not, offer sumthin so i can sell it....


welp... pics....

this is the t3 or sumthin


the t3 houing apart


u cant see the grease marks on the fins... but it was just at the tippity tip




still grindin






okk... now it clears the fins....


done grindin, and polished


turbo and t25 housing

finished

another shot



all done... tommorow, install...i forgot to take pics of the compressor hosing... but i'll have one on tomorrow... let me know if i shouldnt run it...

oh yeah.. and my old fittings fit on this one, so they will be gettin used...

 

lol. All that to avoid putting a t3 flange on your manifold?

 

i was bored... had nothing to do... and nooooooo moneyyyyyyyy

 

well keep us posted on whats going on, if it works, any improvements.. cause I have a bunch of turbos in my storage unit...

 

SUCCESS.......

i bolted up and ran great... i dont know if its me... but it feels like its pullin harder... and now my car is passin 5k rpm's... yes.... now all i need is real charge pipng.... and tuning...

 

Good work.I like a nice home made no cash mod.So you basically have a T28 now?

 

im guessing i'll have a pic of the compressor housing up tommorow... it has an internal bov, and my piping already had a bov, so i ran both of em... but all i hear its like a little chipmunk chirp..

 

well, im glad that it worked for you...hmm, im just thinking that I should do that as well...
