Garrett T3 (not T3 / T4 )

Has anyone tried to do this?
Not a T3/T4 hybrid, just a plain T3. Any advantage? I see alot of members have the combination turbos, im thinking about replacing my stock 14b with one.

Even with the largest T3 compressor wheel, you'll still only be getting about as much compressor flow as a B16G.

As much flow as a big 16g? thats not too bad..
It was either the garrett or a small 16g, think ill go with the garrett.. Thanks.

I'm running a T3 off a 1985 Ford Thunderbird, A/R 60 compressor and .63 turbine. The compressor wheel is the same size as the small 16G. If you enjoy making your own parts ( I do ) I would say go for it. But if you have to buy them new or pay someone to custom make them, it would be cheaper and a lot less hassle to just buy a big or small 16G. I bought an adapter plate from HRC approx. $30.00 so that it would bolt to the stock manifold, all the other adapters and fittings I either scrounged from the junkyard or made myself. My total investment including the turbo was approx. $120.00

Junkman, you did exactly what im going to do.. Have you run it yet? How much boost are you getting? at what RPM?

I normally run 17 psi on pump gas. It hits 17 psi at about 3000 rpm. My best time which is in my signature line was done with 20 psi. and 104 octane gas. I dyno'd at 20 psi and got 296 hp and 308 ft. lbs. on a 96 degree day. Not going to run with the big dogs but for the price I'm happy

Think a better time would be possible with AWD?

I would think so even after losing a few more horsepower to the AWD drivetrain, I woud expect the much better AWD 60 ft. time to knock off a couple of tenth's. But this is all speculation on my part

I hear ya.. Nice to know the facts on the T3, in your opinion, is it better than the 14b? how about the 16g? (other than price??)

If your talking about air flow I would guess the Ford Garrett T3 60/63 trim would be better than the 14b and probably about equal to the small 16G. If the price was the same I would take the 16g because it's a direct bolt on. But I haven't been into turbo's very long so take this information with a grain of salt
