carl0s Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Can anybody point me towards a good explanation (with pictures?) of T3, T4, and T04E etc. turbo flanges, so that when I'm looking at turbos on eBay I have some clue if I'd be able to make them fit. I *think* Arnout's cast manifold has a T4 fitting. I know how to recognise the 5-bolt T3 inlet flange, and there are adapter plates out there to change that to a v-band.. help? thanks!

Chris Wilson Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 http://www.newbury-house.com/manifolds Manifold in photos is T3 flange, drawing is of a T4 flange, small template is a T3 overlayed as a comaprison. I think Arnouts manifold is a T3 flange, I will look in the morning, I have a new one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnouts is a T4 according to the info he posted up about it, as are pretty much all the Supra manifolds you can buy AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I am told by those in the know that there are quite a few T3 flanged turbos capable of supporting up to 700 BHP nowadays, Turbo Dynamics claim to have a range, for example.

Guest Terry S Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Any ideas which? Compressor maps etc please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Actually not to worry, there isnt a single Supra kit I know of that uses a T3 flange. Would appreciate all the info on the T3 turbo's you have for another project though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 No idea, I don't profess to be any sort of tuebo expert, i just get Turbo technics or whoever to recommend a stsrt size and go from there. As so few race engines are blown nowadays it's only road car stuff i really do much turbo work with, and most people just buy a kit, ready done. I have a T3 cast manifold for a Skyline RB25 engine and I have been told despite its T3 flange, there's no problem getting turbos with enough airflow to support up to 700 BHP. As I only need 500 tops I didn't ask too many questions. It was Turbo Dynamics who told me this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 The Garrett GT35R has a T3 flange off the shelf from Garrett, although you can also get it with a T4 from places like Precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight hijack - What are the spooling and power characteristics of the GT35R? Is that a comparable turbo to the T71GTQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 this is all great info, but it is still near impossible for me to have any idea whether many of the cheap XS-Power et-al eBay turbos are suitable Would knowing the compressor and exhaust-wheel a/r be enough info?

SimonB Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Slight hijack - What are the spooling and power characteristics of the GT35R? Is that a comparable turbo to the T71GTQ? More like a T61+ I would think. Terry has a GT35R/T61 hybrid I think? And eyefi has a GT35R too I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 More like a T61+ I would think. Terry has a GT35R/T61 hybrid I think? And eyefi has a GT35R too I think. Interesting. So I guess a T71 would be more akin to a GT40 or GT42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are T4 they will fit, but whether they are suitable depends on the specific turbo. On the Garrett series people are being too generic. You need to know the Trims and AR's.
