Chrysler T-3
« on: April 14, 2009, 11:19:04 am »
I'm sourcing parts for a turbo diesel build and will created a Build thread shortly, but I want sone opinions about a turbo first.
 
A friend of mine is into the 80's Chrysler turbo cars. He traded an exhaust housing off of a turbo with a bent shaft for a good, rebuildable T-3. I am getting the T-3 at the cost of rebuilding a turbo for him for his current project. I do this stuff at work every day. (So basically free  :D )
 
 Does anyone see any potential problems with using one of these? Or, has anyone used one in the past? I rebuild turbos at work and it appears to be the same as the Saab and VW T-3's and I will check the Part Number in the Garret books, But I just want to make sure I'm not forgetting anything. Its water cooled so I'll  have to run water lines. I know that the manifold flange is different, but I have access to a mill and can easily make an adapter. Plus I can use the exhaust flange from a Turbo Dodge to make a downpipe very easily.  (Remember Free TURBO  :shock:  :D )

I'll try to get some pictures up here real soon.
