i know it's a Garret / Airesearch

 

Well, it's a T25. From what, not sure. But I think it's this one:



Which is a regular, non DSM T25.

 

looks like a straight. t3

 

looks like its off an old saab or volvo judging from the downpipe thingy. Not worth paying anything for imo

 

minimal shaft play, and blades spin freely.

 

yeah looks like a straight T3 like he said. probably has a .42/.48 ars on it, check to see if there are any numbers on it.

 

looks identical to my .48a/r saab t3

its not a .42/.48 because the .42/.48 has a swingarm thinger and this one has an elbow.

I wouldnt be surprised if it was a T25 like said above

But im 95% sure that turbo is not a T3 .42/.48

I dont think you are correct. ive never ever seen a .42/.48 with that type of elbow/internal gate.

.42/.48 T3's have turbine sides looking like this

wtf? damn F&F.

 

measuring the flange could be usefull. A T3 flanged turbine lnlet measures about 1 3/4" X 2 5/16". It looks like one to me. look inside the turbine inlet and kind of scrape the sides to see if there is an A/R stamp that is covered by rust. The compressor cover A/R should be stamped inside the outlet.

If it's a T3 that is in good shape then definatly listen to ledgendboy. I buy lots of shitty T3s. Your far better off with the H-T junkyard ****, the DSM T25. Pay more get less. yay T25 cheap T3

you may very well be correct, the thing that is confusing me is the wastegate on the original posted turbo looks like a t3 wastegate and not like the conventional t25 wastegate..however the fins look like a t25.

thanks for the pic,
mike

 

it's a .42 and .46 or .48 not sure

kinda looks like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...47029

except the one i posted is .42 or .46 or .48

 

The best way to shutup the guesstimators is look for cast markings and measure the blades. What is stamped inside of the exhaust housing inlet? What is stamped inside of the compressor housing outlet?

There ARE many types of swing valve exhaust housings floating around so it is easy to make assumptions when very little info is provided.

It looks like an AiResearch To4B or T3 to me but I am just guesstimating like everybody else.

in the coldwheel it says .42, on the manifold it says .46 or .48, can't really read it.

Whoa...it sure is a wierd looking engine! No wonder it can handle so much power stock block!!!

 

lots of old turbos don't have much shaft play and spin freely, doesn't mean its not blown. That turbo is probably close to 20 years old

 

If you checked the stamps and found .42/.48 then you most definitely have a straight T3.

 

Its 100% a diesel turbo, T3.
