What is the difference between just the T3 and the T3/T04e?

 

the T3 uses the smaller TB03 compressor housing, wheel and backing plate.

the T3/TO4E uses the larger TO4E compressor housing, wheel and backing plate, along with the TB03 turbine.

to give an example
compressor flow rate on the TB03 compressor 60 trim wheel .60 a/r is 35 lbs/min
compressor flow rate on the TO4E compressor 60 trim wheel .60 a/r is 53 lbs/min
hope this helps

 

t3/t4e watercooled owns my soul!!!! MAJESTIC GIVE ME IT BACK ALREADY!!!! hating waiting even if its only a few days

 

SO what is watercooled? If you have a water cooled turbo do you still need an intercooler? Sorry i have never heard of a water cooled turbo

 

A water-cooled turbo has boil oil and water/coolant running thru the CHRA. The coolant helps cool the turbo, and prolongs the life of the turbo.

 

Yep he explained it best.... coolant AND oil flow thru the center section to cool things down, prolongs life and can cool down less after hard runs... its a beautiful thing

 

Is the T3/T04e the same turbo in the Drag III kits?

 

most drag kits come with the b which is smaller.... some come with the e.... their kits aren't very concrete when it comes to the turbo

For a b16 a b would be fine as its for 1.5 to 1.7 motors, e is generally for 1.7 to 1.9 unless you get a .49 or whatever trim turbine.

 

So you still need that damn intercooler huh?
