hello turbo people im an NA guy about to go FI. Im looking at buying a complete used kit from a local guy - its the Bseries garret t3/t4 kit and for $2k i would get EVERYTHING (even an i/c) I would need to get my car running. The only thing is that his t3/t4 blew seals so he replaced it with a t3. My friends are telling me it would be a great deal if it had the t3/t4 cuz they say the t3 wont do the job on a b16. come on turbo peeps help me out! thanks

 

come on turbo gurus where are you? ttt

 

The T3 comes in many different sizes. There are sizes that are much too small for a B16 and then there are sizes that would suit the B16 very well. You need to get specs on the turbo that you're looking to get.

Basically, you want a T3 with a 60 trim compressor and at least a stage 2 turbine.

I'm sure a nice 60-trim T3 would be more than enough for an average B16.

 

I have a T3 from a Nissan. Its fairly small. It has a .48 exhaust and a ????? on the compressor. 2.25" inlet, 2" outlet.

I ran a 14.1@94 MPH shutting down at the end.

Fastest trap was 103.76 MPH 9psi, stock b16a2 in 99 Si full interior.

Right now im actually replacing a piston ring because one injector i think leaned out.

 

i emailed the guy back to find out the exact specs on the t3. from the pics is looks like a greddy/trust t25...

 

ok the turbo is (as i copy and paste) .48 A/R and .67 is it large enough? im a stoopid turbo newb...
