Braineack 01-24-2007 04:36 PM

And you wonder why it is taking so long to get your setup installed? :) You and Hustler should start a support group.

Yea Im going to pack up the t25 manifold in the next few days and have it shipped to mr.bell, Im starting over with a few variables , t3 manifold and t3 turbo, Im putting the sr20 up for sale, are t3 oil and water fittings the same -6 and -4 ?

the garret t25 I have use's -6 for oil drain, -6 for both water lines, -4 fitting for the oil feed.

So you going to go with that Saab turbo Rican? If not I think I mgiht have to pick it up an officially begin my diy setup. This and a nice rebuild kit would be a good use of leftover text book money.

RicanmiataRacer 01-24-2007 07:12 PM

You can go for it, those turbos are always around, have at it

Braineack 01-24-2007 07:33 PM

for a 1.8 you want to find a t3 with a .50 trim compressor wheel in the least.

some t3's have a .40 wheel which is too small, .45 wheel will spool quickly, but will kinda suck up top.




Lars, shoot me a line before you buy anything so I can make sure get something good. Cause I'm sure you'll want me to help install and such.

Think I found my t3

Braineack 01-24-2007 09:04 PM

that one looks good.


i wish these came with the compact swingarm/wastegate. if you want to buy the premade downpipe from begi this wont work. ill elaborate if you want me to. but that looks to be in great condition. good luck.

RicanmiataRacer 01-24-2007 09:18 PM

Hey custom 3 inch downpipe and exhaust, If not then 2.5 will be done.

lol...I'm in that boat...only I've been at it...4 months now I think...then again I keep breaking shit.

Rican, this is originally Tomwa but I had to make a new account because the other one was bugged and riddled with issues not loading pages on the site.

I have a T3 from a Saab for sale it's in the for sale section under Tomwa and "Turbo Parts for Sale" I can get you all the info if you want.

Ah...it's good to have a working account again. though i spend most of my time lurking.

You make me laugh Rican :D
