^^ then you would have to get a flange adapter, the T28 flange is different than the T3

Nice ! What you gonna do for manifold ?

a few ideas lol, 89BG has one of the ideas, just have a T3 flange welded on, or go with a custom top mount manifold setup...why top mount? IDK w/e will give me room to run this turbo and wastegate more or less haha. WG is the size of my hand so it's not compact haha.

just pick up a miata t25/28 mani for their bp, and call it a day, yo.

you know it!

cut and paste, and brace! Can easily re-flange it to a T3.

Those runners are thin on the t25 manifold. Just a warning

Jack... You want turpro's old T3 flanged and braced miata mani? I'm not going to use it... I decided the t3/t4 is just too damn big for the escort. I am going to sell all that stuff I bought from him, especially since I need Money for the wagon's extensive rebuild.

[FE3-323]

what are the wheel dimensions on that turbo

Still looks like your welder did a good job though lol, right?

for sure!! send me a pm when you're wanting to sell it, I won't have enough cash flow til the 1st though lol.

I'll measure the wheel once I get another digital caliper, but iirc the inducer for the compressor wheel was around 46mm...

[Mazda_Powered]

so what do you guys figure my GTX stuff would be worth when the time comes?

manifold/turbo/cast dp/lines/inlet coupler $300

downpipe $120

injectors $60

does that seem fair? or $450 for everything? Just trying to figure how much extra I'll be out with the T3 conversion.

[92dx]

wow that didnt take long at all to decide you want more lol.

[Mazda_Powered]

nope haha, not really. The car is too fuel efficient to be fast...know what I mean?

[bogaut]

What you gonna do for fuel managment ?

[Mazda_Powered]

gonna run the bp26 ecu for right now with some 440cc and I'll source out an A code VAF since I've heard they're the better choice and see what happens. I'll also be running an adjustable fuel regulator...so we'll see what I can run for boost levels with that for now. Eventually I'll have to dive into MS though lol, that'll be the season after that probably.

[FE3-323]

46mm inducer sounds reasonable for a BP.

[Mazda_Powered]

So if I don't get Cody's manifold, I'll be picking up some sch 10 weld els and making my own I've been looking at designs, and I kind of like this one...lol

that would be sexy and free up some nice space

[Mazda_Powered]

ya that's what I was thinking too lol, might not be that exact idea, but I am rather fond of the top mounted turbo setup with that offset to them...power steering and a/c would fit with that setup too! lol
