OK I got myself a T3 60 trim (the one off the thunderbird/sho's). It was cleaned up and such before i bought it. problem is that the turbine inlet it pointing the same direction as the oil outlet. Anyway so I got the bolts loose to rotate the housing... it doesn't wanna move. Tried spraying some WD40 in there... no movement. Any ideas?

 

ttt

 

come on anyone?

 

First of all which bolts are un doing? make sure your not losening the bearing section...cuz that wont do u any good. You should loosen the the bolts that have the metal clamps that hold the housing together.

If your sure ur doing it right....mybe some wd40? i dont know how safe it is to use a type of break free agent on turbos.

Edit: u already said wd40

yah i undid the ones with the clamps... yah and too late i already tried wd40. i dunno that bad boy's stuck on there pretty good. I dunno why. all the turbo i had before (same one) rotated easily.

 

ok i got it off had to tap at it with a lil hammer

 

Hey, not to get off topic or anything, but do you have any pics of your turbo?
I just made a deal for the exact same one.

 

yah i do but i don't think they're that good...

this is of the first T3 60trim i had (never made it onto the car)

Very nice
I just wanted to get a better look at the compressor side, thanks!

 

yah man the compressor size is pretty big for a t3. the turbine side is only a .48 a/r good for my sohc

 

what were thoes injectors listed under at the parts store? and what parts place did you get them from?

 

The injectors I got locally from a DSM guy for $50. The injector CLIPS now I got from discoutn auto parts. Was like $3 a plug. I think they are called "GM Multi-Port Fuel Injection Sockets" I just asked for GM Injector clips. They're made Calterm. When I get home I can eyeball the part number if u need.

 

It sounds scarey, but I had to use a rubber mallet and then a small prybar to get it off...even the second time before it was installed! just be careful, I don't think I fudged anything.

 

hehehe... i just whacked it with a hammer hehe j/k i tapped it gently with the hammer
