Tb03???
I stumbled across a garett tb03 for an insanely cheap price and freshly rebuilt by a reputible company. Now I don't currently own a Miata but plan to in the near future and FI is definately on the table. Is this turbo worth keeping for a future FI system or should I go trolling for a t25.
BTW I'm a welder and plan to build my own manifold so the flange being funky is a non-issue |
If you are refering to the TB0335 (Chrysler T1/2 Lancer) that's what I'm planning to use (1.8). Although I'm thinking of changing turbine housings to allow me to upgrade later without changing the manifold.
Should be pretty good for a low power (under 250bhp) system, but I may go higher eventually. |

yes the turbo is from a t1/2 chrysler but the wastegate housing is missing. I was thinking about drilling the oddball hole to t-3 specs....any thoughts? I started autocrossing this year with a Saturn Wagon but it just lacks the instant response of a lighter vehicle and I have driven a few Miatas...I love the open air ride and the handling can't easilly be beat. After trying out a 2001 nb I have settled on what I want in a miata. I want an NA engine doesn't really matter 1.6 rev high but 1.8 has a bit more torque. Turbo charged at just 6psi intercooled for maximum reliability. Suspension wise nothing special is planned. Kyb gr2's and thats about it but the chassis will get some attention with a FM butterfly brace, hard dog double diagonal bar, strut bars and lower braces to stiffen the tub us as much as possible. Finally some good sticky meats on stock rims for the stealth effect:skid: |
t3s are fun. What size compressor wheel does it have?
|
TBH I have no idea what trim it is all I know about it is the A/R and that it's a tb0335 off of a chrysler turbo . A/r's are hot side .48 cold side .42 according to the numbers this should work well on either engine but best on the 1.8
|
It's not like I wouldn't know about a T3 on a miata.
It's most likely a 45 or 50 trim. It will spool quick but the 45 will start to run out of steam in higher rpms. 50 trim is the smallest I'd go. |
cool now all I need to do is come up with a wastegate and get to fabricating a mani and DP
|
I have another question can I run protoge injectors seeing as they are brown tops or is there an issue with them and the miata computer?
|
have to be high impedence. read my FAQ
|
I see ok so toyota is my best bet cool

225 is plenty for me after all I'm graduating from a 130 hp Saturn L series to a miata that potentially ahs 225hp it will be lightyears faster
|
yes, and quite fun.
|
:yippee: seriously Jonzing for the miata. The wagon (Oh did I mention that the saturn is a wagon too) handles quite good but its heavy 3100# dry and badlyunder powered even with the mods I've done.

My name was given to me by my parents. I did not pick it. If you don't like me having this name perhaps you should take it up with my parents not me... Plus I have had it longer
OH and BTW... I love my name it fits me I truly love Horses |
now back on topic
|
this turbo doesn't have the wastegate housing or actuator I am thinking about going external w/g instead of internal. Would I be ahead to use the existing port or mount it on the manifold?

Don't use something as close to my screen name as humanly possible. Most boards take offense to spoofing an admin name Don't fucking spam my forum Don't post useless bullshit to get around the one of like 3 rules I actually have here. I guess that's too hard for some. |

As to your post about using the existing WG port... do you mean on the turbo? If you want to do an external wastegate the easiest way to do it is to run off a manifold runner, or better at the union of the 4 runners. Using the stock internal WG port with an external isn't such a hot idea and sounds fairly complicated to fabricate. I'm going to use the stock external WG/O2 housing from the chrysler as it should fit in the engine bay well. This, of course, will get upgraded when time and money allows. |
