Jimmie, good idea about the oil scavenger system. I could do that if needed but it might be easier to remove the manifold and drill the block at a lower...
Hey David, what is the original application for that carb hat? Would the base be big enough to fit a 650 Holley (5 inch o.d.)? I’m looking for a low cost...
Well, got it running today! Finally got the tubelines fabricated so there are not a swarm of rubber hoses running like spaghetti all over the engine! Also got...

Thanks David. I haven't seen anything usable as a carb hat so far in my junkyard searches. Te one you have is the closest thing I've seen to a junkyard...
Hi folks, I've been looking for an inexpensive but usable carb hat for my blow- through carb project. I will be running a Holley 650 carb. with a 5 inch o.d....
Wow, they sure have come down in price since I converted to EFI.. I paid 200 for my EV hat... AFTER I paid 100 for a used ATI unit that didn't work, and also...

Hi folks, I finally have 2 T3's that I think I can use on my 283 TT project. I understand that they both need to be exactly alike. Both of these came off of...
Thanks for the heads-up on these. That's the best price I've seen yet, and I've looked all over the web. I'll prolly go with the dual inlet one also. Thanks...
At the risk of sounding really stupid... I just gave up on 2 T3 turbos on my bonneville race car with a 302 ford. The turbine scrolls are simply too small to...
I haven't seen the E-bay auction buy I'd be willing to bet that the CHRAs are from China. This may not be bad, I don't know. China has many quality control...
Thanks drmayf and Jimmie for your replies. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something on these housings. I'll check the measurements and compare them...
Michael, that is bnot a CHRA! That is only the housing part. A true chra consists of this part, allthe bearings and seals the turbine wheel and shaft and teh...

Man drmayf, you've saved my butt from throwing away some money! I don't know why, but I assumed that this housing came with all the bearings, seals, etc. to do...
Most used hot side housings have a hair line crack from the wastgate hole to the centre. This may not make the unit bad, not sure. You might have a hard time...
Michael, as you surf the wrecking yards, be aware that there were 2 different manufacturers of the T Bird turbos. One was Garrett and the other IHI. I would...
DrMay, If I may expand on the list of cars to look for, The Garret T3 turbo came on the '83-'86 Mustang SVO's, T-Bird Turbo Coupe's, and the Cougar XR-7 Turbo....
Actually the type of transmission did matter. The cars with the automatics came with the A/R = 0.48 so that it would spool faster in the automatic. The manual...
In my many boneyard visits for turbo stuff, I've found no particular rule holds true for the Ford 2.3 turbos. I've found both 0.48 and 0.63 units on stick...
what is found on junkyard cars can have little or no relationship to what was on them originally. Believing that ALL the 5sp cars got 63A/R turbine housings...
That's what I plan to do to begin with Jimmie. I don't need a lot of rpm's for this vehicle to start with. I might like to experiment with different turbine...
Gang, a friend of mine has come across literally a plethora of 409 W head engines and parts. The list is very long including blocks, top ends, NOS gaskets as...
'Talking with Kevin Ames today about my continuing low oil pressure indication. Obviously the first step is to measure with a real gauge to see if the stock...
The gauge doesn't care if it's measuring oil or air. It will measure pressure and usually that's all. Maybe you're getting enough flow at low pressure to keep...
Dan, a long small capillary tyupe tube will take a while to read correct. The air has to be compressed and when it is compressed half way it will only read...
