As title, can be far bigger, but at least 200, ideally about 225+

Cossie T3s and S13/14 T25/T28s all seem to go for about 100quid second hand, but are there cheaper?

are RST T3s cheaper?

Any others from non fords that are fairly widely available?

i need another turbo now, at least 200bhp's worth, and cheap as shit, like that one was.

any ideas?

Carlsworth

inlet and wheel on the volvo t3 is smaller than rst, but have .48 exhaust housing

Stavros

wierd that, danny @ R+A said it was same 60mm compressor as most t3s, but 50trim so bigger than RST but smaller than Cossie.

er....how about the legacy one?i have a td05 now!

Stavros

sold! ill take the money for that off your tab at stav motorsport

Carlsworth

thats funny butt monkey

i have a volvo turbo here that the ex housing is being used
come round you fucker, and ill show you its smaller

dannyblackpool

what unit no as im 99% sure ALL 740s are bigger

Carlsworth

hmmm strange one

just cross referenced TB0326 (466032-0003 from 2.0l 1985 740) and your right it comes up with 50 trim...
however, just by looking you can see the one i have here is smaller, so i measured comp wheel

exducer 60.1
incuder 36.6
which would make it 37 trim


so ive had a look as to what it would be from, as it doesnt seem to be from volvo,...
closest ive found is saab tb0312, but here it is
exducer 60.1
inducer 37.7 which is 39 trim
which means this "volvo" turbo is even smaller than that found in the saab



now im confused

Fiecos Dan

how do you work out the trim from the exducer and inducer sizes?

Carlsworth

inducer squared
divided by
exducer squared

2litre 740? will be a 2.3 turbo if its a UK 740.

and therefore possibly a different turbo...

2litre and 1985 sounds like the 240 turbos you couldnt get over here, and maybe v.early 740s had the same engine.

Carlsworth

model 740
year 1985
engine B200ET
bhp 117
cc 2.0/4
turbo model TBO326
part number 466032-0003
oem part number 1367019




also, been looking into it a bit more, and a lot of the volvo s have the smaller turbo as used on some saabs tb0313

Stavros

Wont be a UK one.

UK 740 turbos run the B230ET and were 170bhp (or maybe 180+, i see different conflicting info)

Hope you not been suppling people with incorrect turbos

Carlsworth

yup,....seems the B200et was U.S market


no chance there mate....only a complete retard would want to spend money on a 740

jonesymk2

iTrader: (2)

dannyblackpool

is there a part number?

jonesymk2

iTrader: (2)

dannyblackpool

jonesymk2

iTrader: (2)

jonesymk2

iTrader: (2)

can only find the pat number or as it says pat no which is 3058787

Carlsworth

saab 9000

3058787 refers to the patent of the journal bearings
