If this is a red x i'm gonna be pissed. But for turbos with flanges like these on the end of them is it easy to get an adapter for them or what? I dont see how you would connect piping to the intercooler since the turbo has a flange on it. Also there's a flange where the pipe going to the filter is too. If i found a good deal on a turbo like this should i pick it up anyway, or just wait until I can find a turbo without those flanges?

I've passed up many good turbos before because they are like this one and I didnt want to mess with it. But, I need a turbo soon because is the main thing holding me up right now.

a resourcefull guy at a shop should be able to make you a flange to meet your needs... just what exhaust manifold your gonna use will determine if it will fit.

 

I also meant to ask if this is the same bolt pattern/design of the drag downpipe? I have a drag downpipe i just ordered but i havent actually seen it yet. I wanna make sure this turbo would fit it before i try to buy one like it. Anyone know? Btw, I really appreciate the help on this. Will save me money if I can prevent having to pay for parts then end up being the wrong ones.

 

Hey, thats a super60 T3 from a Ford turbocoupe or merkur.
Its a decent sized turbo, .6x ar, and 60trim wheel.
You can get the flanges from a ford dealer, as a last resort. I'm about to put one of these turbos into my car actually, to replace my 15year old Saab t3.

 

thanks a bunch

 

Guys.. isn't that the same bolt pattern as the one that Revhard comes with? I think
mine looked exactly like that..

 

ya same turbo i'm gonna use... i was wondering about the compressory inlet and outlet also. Idon't think it's a SUPER 60 though... i think it's just a t3 60 trim.

the specs are:
compressor = t3 60trim and .60a/r housing
turbine = no idea what trim... but it's a .48 a/r housing.

EDIT: yah any muffler shop could make a flange for u... that's what i'm gonna do. \
EDIT #2: DOH! that isn't the same T3 60 trim i have... it says it right there on the housing in the ... .63 a/r I dunno if that's whatmakes it a super 60 but oh well...
