Thats pretty much one of the best options from a junkyard. There are a few diesel turbo's you could look at from Holset, but I don't know what vehicles they came from.

there has to be some other turbos. Maybe some volvo,dodge,sabb turbos

yup but some of those are smaller and some have different flanges so you will have to make a custom flange

ummm thunderbird turbos, Mekurs, and mustang SVO's had a decent T3 turbo avoid the 87 and 88 caused they used tiny ****ty IHI...volvo's of the 80's used a very small T3 that has been used successfully. MR2 Turbo, Celica All trac, and Supra turbo all used ... CT26 I think, but the mr2/celica ones are smaller. not like you will be likely to find one of those in a yard anyway.turbo DSM's had teeny tiny turbos, again, not likely to find one in a yard and they wouldn't be much use anyway. thats about it that i can think of that I've actually seen in junkyards.

I would stick with what you have- good match for the KA, spools pretty quick....and with the .63ar turbine it doesn't lose power up top. Mine's been working great for me- she pulls real hard from 2500rpm up.....

my boost goes to 8psi and slowly comes down to 6psi at higher rpm. Is this because the turbos a little bit small. If I put a boost controler and set it to 8psi, the boost should stay at 8psi for the full rpm band right?(Not sure)

you have a boost leak my friend

no I don't my friend, the 86 300zx turbos came with a 6psi or 6.5 psi spring.

A couple of sites with lists of OEM turbos...http://www.gamesbbs.com/~turbo....htmlh ... /turbo.htm

That Z31 T3 is a pretty nice IMO. Most OEM turbos have smaller a turbine A/R (0.48)
