looking for a cheap t3 from a saab, volvo, svo, nissan, whatever. also looking for a cheap 35/38mm external gate... ebay brand or whatever youve got. i got a good deal on a t3 manifold for my beater car... so i might as well boost it . this is a low budget project, ive already got another car that all my spare cash is supposed to be going into .

I've picked one up before Its from a 300D I believe its a T3 inlet flange and a 4 bolt exhaust flange or there is an adapter on it to use a V-band sytle too, perfect turbo for a HMT kit it has a external style wastegate bolted to the exhaust housing so you can just remove and bolt ona block off plate if you didn't want to use it and it also has a BOV on the compressor housing, same deal just block it off if you don't want it....its a decent size turbo its a KKK not sure of which one i remeber I couldn't find a ton of info loos to be around the same size as a .42/.48 but can't really say for sure, let me know I should be going sat. and I'll grab it and ship it UPS monday, shoot me an offer...Matt

 

I have a used T3 i bought off of ebay i'd like to part with it's a .48/.60 and it spins freely w/ very little play, look for pics here https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=59667.0

 

found a wastegate... and i have a lead on a turbo (not from any of you guys here... sorry). i'll post if/when i find a turbo, if i am still looking for one. thanks for the replies

well ---- didnt work out on that turbo it was a nice .60/.48 from a t-bird too

so whos got something good? for $50 shipped what have you got? lol

standard 5 bolt outlet flange preferred, so i dont have to weld any flappers shut.

 

I'll send you a blown DSm T25 for $50 shipped :P

You won't find to many good T3s for that cheap, lowest I'd go would be $80 shipped for a junkyard T3...

I'll check I think my friend might have a Chyrsler T3 he sell for cheap but it has the goofy inlet flange but standard 5 bolt DP flange

 

junkyard turbos go for 90 here in so cal dam that a ripoff
