Hey guys, so I’m currently on a T3/T4 .63AR turbine and I was looking for some quicker spool. Seems like the general consensus is the T3 .48ar turbine with a 60mm compressor wheel, 50trim. So I found what most closely matched this description on eBay and I bought it. The turbo arrived today and it looks WAY bigger than I thought it would. The compressor looks huge while the turbine is tinyyyy. Is this how it’s supposed to be or did I get the wrong one?

T3
Compressor
.50AR
61mm exducer
42mm inducer

Turbine
.48AR
67mm inducer
49mm exducer

This turbo was not marketed as a T3/T4 but it looks to have the exact same compressor wheel as the T3/T4 I’m running right now.

 

Have you measured it?

The fast spooling china t3 is just a straight T3, 0.42AR compressor and ~45 trim. Usually with the 0.48AR turbine housing and who knows what turbine.

That thing does not look to have a 42mm inducer.

 

Upon measuring the compressor wheel it’s more like 72mm, not 61. So this thing is going back and yes I saw the .42ar one, which I’ll probably get instead for the short term. I didn’t think that thing could do more than like 200whp but after reading up some Honda guys are hitting like 260whp on that turbo.
