Finding a manifold for a T3 turbo?
 

I have this T3 turbo and i just wanted to know how easy it would be to make it work with the 13b? Any idea where i can pick up the stuff i need?

Thanks

Waste of time - T3 is too small for a 13B.

Isn't the stock Turbo II turbo basically a T3?

can somebody explain to me about the t3 , t3/t4, t4, and ect ect.... It seems like that the only thing Honda guys know about turbos. "ohh it has t3/t4 turbo" I dont understand it. If somebody would like to take their the time and explain to me about these turbos then I would appreciate it . Didnt mean to get of subject. thanks..

I thought the GT 35/40 was based on the T3 footprint? And now I'm wondering what all the hype is about. Somebody please explain.

find another T3 the same and put on on each rotor, should be good........

T04 (T4) is one of the most common, oldest turbo types in existence. It's practically generic now :)

T3 is kinda like having a small-shaft T04 with much smaller wheels on it. T3s came stock on early Dodge Turbos and pre-87 Ford 2.3 Turbos, as well as some other cars. A variant of the T3 came on the Buick 3.8 Turbo engines.

A T3/T4 hybrid is a T4 compressor wheel/housing mated with a T3 turbine wheel/housing. Not really what you'd want on a rotary, though.

I SWEAR I read or heard somewhere that the Turbo II turbos were T3 knockoffs... in other words, there'd be no point to adapting a T3 turbo, when you could just pick up a Turbo II manifold and turbo for less hassle.

Yeah, I need to pick up a T3 exhaust wheel to compare(I've got a few TII stock exhaust wheels laying around)., but as far as eyeballing it, they're VERY SIMILAR.

T3 and T4 turbos share the same center section. Stock T2's use this same center section, but the wheels and housings are way bigger than the T3 stuff.

check your pm's

The Hitatchi HT-18 that is on the TII is pretty much a copy of the Garret T3, but with a larger cold side. Matter of fact, I had a Stage III T3 turbine in a hybrid turbo I had once.

T3's work well on 4-cylinder cars - they don't have a lot of exhaust energy, so you want a small hot side to spin the turbo up. The T3/T04 hybrid uses the larger T04 cold side for more airflow into the car with better spoolup from the smaller turbine side.

Anyhow, a T3 is pretty small for an RX-7 - rotaries have WAY more exhaust energy than a 4-banger to get a turbo spinning. That's why there are such leaps in performance going to a T04 turbo from a stock turbo - freeing up the exhaust side makes a huge difference.

isnt the gt35/40 a t3 turbo

i always thoght that the T3 turbo was a step back from the stock FC turbo. Am i wrong on this. It just seems small. Now 2 T3's or T4's that would be something else.
