new turbo in hand
« on: September 05, 2007, 04:10:32 pm »
Rolling rolling rolling, I'm gettin my build up rolling..... turbo!

Just picked up the turbo for my build up.
 Garrett/ Airresearch T-3:

 TA0-301
.48 A/R Turbine
.42 A/R Compressor
 45 Trim
Here is the turbo map for it.  I think that with the mods I am doing, it will spool up quickly with very little lag.


I will be ordering a rebuild kit for it shortly.  I may also have the turbine ported while it is apart for rebuild.  I will have the Turbine ceramic coated on the outside before it is installed on my nice new ATP turbo manifold, and attached to a 3" SS Downpipe for Passenger.  All of this will be getting attached to my 1.9IDI head that Dave will be doing his big port job on.  I hope it all fits under the nice fat custom intake manifold that Dave will also be supplying.  Time to turn up the screw on my new Giles pump. 9mm with twice the fuel and no rpm cut off.  That should flow very well through the rebuilt 1.9 injector bodies that have new Merc 300TD nozzles in them.

you're basically me dreaming. itspretty much the same list of mods I'm working on for my 1.9TD.  Good luck with it, definitely sounds like it'll be badass.  post pics as soon as humanly possible :twisted:

btw, whats the trim size for the T3's that came on the 1.6's?  Is this slightly larger?
