The different Turbo's for a T3 flange..

Wayn0r · 23 Jul 2007 at 12:12

As title. What are the different turbos that will fit a t3/t4 flange?

I have done a little research, but im sure some people on here know the different ones from memory.

The one im looking at is a GT30. Good for 500hp ?

Yes a GT 30 can be good for 500 brake, but you have to have around 2 bar being shoved up it. Don't forget the GT series is not a bit fan of anti lag, if you are looking to run it.

Nowt really wrong with a good old T4 for 500 brake. With appropriate cams, headwork and mapping the lag can be surprisingly low. Think there was a roller bearing version being pimped aroundf recently as well.

What car is it for as aet turbos website is pretty comprehensive.

I think the Evo boys are a fan of the GT3076R when going for around the 500 mark

i can basically pick and choose what turbo i want as long as it fits the t3 flange, i dont really want to go BIG power because lag = gay

Anti Lag

But as I said above, the GT series don't like anti lag as the shaft can't take the heat, as they are not made of 247 mar-m. Although the old school T4 isn't always mar-m shafted, they are pretty much bomb proof.

Have you considered say a T34 with a .63 housing? they are good for just over 400 horses with 2 bar boost, pretty much bombproof and happy to run anti slage.

Use nitrous to spool it then.

Throttle open > nitrous injected > nitrous results in more exhaust gas > turbo spools quicker > nitrous turned off by boost-sensitive switch.

haha, then ill give you a fiver to clean up the mess in my sump guard

apparently the pistons and rods are good for 600bhp, not 500, and also the rod bearings are good for 900bhp :eek:

reading up, its the 4th gear in the 02M box thats the weak point.

I could just do a will and run it till it blows up, but im not earning as much as will
