T3 turbo on my 5s-fe

fvillota · 05-28-2009, 02:13 PM

hi guys. i have a t3 turbo
as you know im trying to cleect everything to make my 5s-fe a 5sfte.

I want to know if i will have to cut and weld the flange when i guy the 3sgte manifold so i can bolt on the t3 turbo.

would it just fit up or no?

what about the downpipe?

You will need an adapter.

I'll help you hone your Google-Fu.
Google "ct26 to t3" like this: Your search results! and you should come up with a number of viable options for adapting your T3 turbo to the stock Toyota turbo manifold.

Most turbo familes have specific exhaust and downpipe flanges. Manifolds and downpipes designed for the stock toyota turbo (CT26) will not bolt onto a T3 based turbo.

Discalimer: I'm bored and having a long day, please don't take the link I posted the wrong way.

so i will have to make my own t3 custon downpipe?

Redstar · 05-28-2009, 04:04 PM

Don't know.
It will likely depend on what T3 turbo you have. The T3 is probably the most common turbo out there so there are dozens of varieties. However, there are MR2 specific downpipes for T3/T4's. Maybe contact one of the vendors on this board to see if they make a downpipe that will fit your turbo.

ok thanks alot for all ur help! i'll look more into this.

YELLOW_MR2 · 05-28-2009, 07:00 PM

you might have to, I have to for mine, I have the t3 t4 turbo

fvillota · 05-28-2009, 10:06 PM

what about the adapters from a ct to a t3 with a waste gate port?
would everything still fit the right way?

YELLOW_MR2 · 05-28-2009, 10:09 PM

It should but why don't you cut and weld flanges that way you got the t3 flange with no adapters

fvillota · 05-28-2009, 10:11 PM

because i cant seem to find a welder i like. lol

YELLOW_MR2 · 05-28-2009, 10:20 PM

Oh LOL I got a buddy to weld all my stuff at his work, turned out nice especially when he made the wastegated adapter to my turbo manifold, Looked like if it came with one

fvillota · 05-28-2009, 10:37 PM
