These are the numbers that it says directly on both sides of the turbo.

It's a Garrett T3 turbo, help me identify the trim somebody.....here's what it says:

A/R .43 on intake side on the exhaust side it says as follows---687 9Z5 GARRETT 272-2 and on the other side of the exhaust is says .63 H3

Any info. would be great, thanx

HELP!

This may be obvious, but Is there a tag on the center section? If by chance there is, send us the numbers and we should be able to tell you something about it.

i dont know, a 60 trim maybe?

hmmmm....??

remove the housings
measure the large [major] diameter of the compressor wheel
measure the small [minor] diameter of the compressor wheel
Do the same two steps for the exhaust.
formula for determining trim
[(minor wheel diameter)x(minor wheel diameter) / (major wheel diameter)x (major wheel diameter) ] x 100= trim


T04E 60
[(2.290)(2.290)/(2.950)(2.950)] x 100= trim
(5.2441/8.7025) x 100= trim
.6026 x 100 = trim
60= trim

Quoted from a post Dee made a while ago....

i'm purchasing this turbo, so i can't exactly take it apart yet. . Thanx for that formula, though.

its a garrett turbo

yeah i have no idea, but i would ditch that exhaust fighting manifold if i were you, #1 and #4 will fight and counteract #2 and #3, horrible design but it WILL work

prob a t25..

The guy said it was a form of a T3, but he isn't sure which trim.

It looks like a T25 to me...

That's a cute little turbo

** edit **

I just noticed that it says "T25" on the turbine housing in the last picture... look on the left...

I had a Garrett (not the DSM one) T25 that looked just like that, it had the same stepped down intake. I'd bet money it's a T25.

are manifolds that use T-25's capable of supporting T3's?

It's a four-bolt T-25. He wants 150 for it, is that good?

The flanges look the same (both are rectangular) but the T25 flange is smaller than the T3...

I used to have a T25 on my car and thought I could just switch it out with a T3... then I found out the T3 flange was larger and had to buy a new manifold...

if i wanted to upgrade, instead of buying a new manifold, would i be able to just buy an adapter plate for the T3?

travizx0r

you can clearly see its a t25 and as for the adaptor plate, ive gone through the same thing before. ive found where i could get an adaptor plate but it wasnt worth it to me because it was like 80 bucks and for that on top of cost of the turbo initially i could just buy a better t3 turbo. i had a t28 off a skyline which i bough in perfect condition for 100 dollars and ended up selling it for 260 hahaha
