just bought a turbocahrger for the cossie, unsure if its a T34 or not, was sold as a T34, but on investigation now i'm home, appears to be a T3 not that i'm moaning - its in better condition than mine

it has the following number on the garret manufacturer plate for the model - TB03B4 or it could be TB0384 - can't quite make out the 2nd to last letter/didgit.

has a .48 exhaust housing, .42 compressor, with what looks like a 55 trim comp wheel, unusre of that tho.

can anyone shed any light onto it?


and no - it aint fooking blue

 

take a pic will confirm what it is

 

sounds like a 2wd t3...........does it have the alloy holder sticking out the side for the escos actuator????????

 

comp



exhaust



dataplate



its come off a 4x4 cossie eitherway and has a -31 actuator on it

 

It's just a standard 4x4 turbo (which is slightly better than a standard 2wd T3 anyway ).

Is no way a T34 though .

 

t3 from a 4x4 does your standard hose from the air filter fit if so it aint a t34

 

yep defo a t3

 

cheers peeps

time to get it fitted then and have a nice sounding car that isnt familiarising itself with an air-raid siren

 

465189- which is on the tag is the garrett id = 4x4 std cos (60 trim)

 

chers Danny

i was under the impression that 2wd was 50 trim and 4wd was 55 trim

if 4wd is 60 trim, then the mismatch i've got on mine at the moment as a temp unit (4wd comp cover with a 2wd core and wheel) means its well out of tune for power, but good for scarring birds with whistles

 

is a 4x4 t3 better than a 2wd t3 mike ?

 

Tony,
I was always led to believe it had a more efficient exhaust housing?

 

It is a better turbo on paper but in the real world of cosworths it's not ,it mashes itelf .
Sure plenty of people on here have had them loose the exhaust wheel.
Now the t34 is a turbo to have

 

bit like this one i did earlier

 

what colour you got this time?

hope you're gonna go pimpslap the ho that sold you it......

 

T3/4s don't seem to like it up 'em either .

 

all the same unit
