I picked up a t3 off a z31 and i want to use it to go ka-t. im searched around a lot and found a bunch of info, but i cant seem to find anyone thats tried to modify or swap compressor housings.
The z31 t3 looses its effeciency at 14psi. I read around and im finding that the t3 is a .60ar compressor and a .63ar turbine (stage 1 garrett). my buddy has a mutt t28 (t25 and t28 hybrid dealie) that has a .60 trim compressor too but has a much bigger housing. he told me they tend to fall off around 22psi.
what we were wondering was if there was a way too possibly swap a t28 cover like his onto my t3 to promote flow and possibly wake the turbo up a bunch.
at the moment im not looking to go nuts and make it super fast. i want to try and ease into it and start from the bottom and work my way up to where i feel is best for me. but i dont want to end up putting a whole bunch of time into getting a z31 t3 in a going just to pull it off to try and frankenstein it later.
Someone was saying the only real factor would be the actual compressor diameter. i read that it was 51.4mm for the t3. so if thats the same then a t28 housing with a 51.4mm compressor would work?
