Author Topic: 318is M44, what T3 turbocharger between these? (Read 10432 times)

Its hard to tell what will be the best, everything changes with every turbo setup between what parts you use, you kindof have to just pick one and hope it works out good. I've seen several people research what turbo will be best for their car and finally get the one they want, the turbo blows so they go and pull a turbo off a deisel truck and ends up being much better turbo for the car. I am happy with my t3, I built my car for a streetable track car and it works out good.

go with the T3 60 TRIM, .60/.48 from SVOs, thunderbirds...

If you make a ok manifold. than you shud get full boost at 3000rpm. and star charging at 1500rpm i gues
but go for 8-10 psi of boost, more fun. more HP.

I was wrong: SVOs don't have .48 A/R turbine housing, but it's 0.63.
Merkur XR4TI has .48turbine and .60 compressor like I want.

I bought a T3 60 trim, .48turbine and .60compressor fully rebuilt:D

Now I'm searching to buy fast a great manifold!

Cool!
I think the T3 60 trim is almost the best choice. I am gonna use something like that too.
About the manifold ... do you like this one:

Yes, T3 60 trim is best choice for performance/price ratio:D

That manifold sucks if you buy it from racetech.

That isn't their real picture.
The original of that manifold is produced from a Ebay user called "argopeti". Try to search it in ebay and ask him...
I emailed him many times, the racetech is built in china with a bad steel and really-thin = 1,8mm... the original of argopeti is 3mm!
But the original cost near 550 euro...

I'll buy neukin if they will answer me about shipping:rolleyes: or 666fab if he can do one for under 700$

(Alibi, if you want a eaton M62 supercharger I'll sell you mine from a 230k

)
go turbo... I wrote you that S/C was too complicated! That is because I'm going turbo, even if supercharger "kit" was fitted and running:)
I wasn't secure to pull the car at very high speed with a belt that can came off because is not perfect aligned:o
and I know...

Alibi · « **Reply #19 on:** September 03, 2007, 11:08:37 AM »

Oh ... thanks for the tipps about the manifold. The Neukin looks really nice and it cost not so much. But how will stay the turbo (Down or Up) .. I mean Infront alittlebit over the Engine, or under the engine?
About the SC ... as I said... If I had the time to pull the engine off the car and spare some time on measuring and so on ... I would went for SC, but I didn't have that time, so I will spare some money and this Christmas I will go for turbo. We will stay in touch ... as I see, your goals are the same as mine

yes the T3 60trim A/R 0,48 0,60 is a good choice.:p
i have the china manifold and it`s 1,8 mm thick. bad fitment. has to botum mont the turbo to use the manifold.

This up is the Neukin manifold. That on pic is topmount for a e36, with external wastegate....

It's a e36. the frame around the engine leave minor space that a e30, so it will be bottom mounted;)

nuvolarossa · « **Reply #25 on:** September 08, 2007, 07:15:23 AM »

Placed order at turbogoods for Neukin's Turbo Manifold:)
Damn, they need 3-4 weeks to build it, because they have a huge number of orders now... I'll wait;)

I think that I'll buy this downpipe too, 3" inch:D:

searching for oil lines and water cooling lines too!
