i was wondering something about my used T3 turbo . Its a T3 from a z31. Is this turbo is to big for a ca18det ? i dont want my car to hit full boost at 5000 rpm... its 0.62 A.R (written on the exhaust side).

I was thinking about buying and adapter plate to run it from my stock T25 manifold .. anyone have experience with these adapter plate ?

thx Fred

where did you find an adapter plate for t2 to t3 flange? I'm sure if you could find one there would be tons of interested buyers:) Its something I've been looking for myself actually.

back to your question. Ray ran a z31 t3 on his stock manifold, but he cut off the stock flange and welded a t3 flange on there. From what I hear it was a TON of trouble (difficult oil lines, compressor outlet, and downpipe were some things he told me about) but his main problem (I think) was the welding on the stock cast manifold, so if you could find an adapter plate that might just work well:)

T3 isn't not too big, no way.

I have a T34 hybrid, 1.3bar @ 3.2k and 2bar before 4k.
