here are the specs/info about the turbo (taken from honda-tech.com)

It is a T3. I've seen them with .48 and .63 turbine housings. They all have stage 1 turbine wheels. Every one that I've seen has a .42 a/r compressor housing. They all either have a 45 trim or 50 trim compressor wheel.Most of the ones I've seen are:

.48 a/r exhaust housingStage 1 wheelOil cooled center section.42 a/r compressor housing50 trim compressor wheel

thanks

Seth

Yeah it'll work. Why wouldn't it?

What are your hp goals? How much are you buying the turbo for? More details would be helpful.

any t3 should fit on the mani no problem.my t3 turbine output bolt pattern is different than the bd dp, but i picked up a matching flange for 15 bucks and im swapping them.

40 bucks is a steal if its in good shape, and itll suit your 220 rwhp plans just fine.

Just make sure the turbo doesnt have excessive shaft play...If it does, it will probably be in need of a rebuild. Im not sure where they sell kits, but im sure someone her knows.
