what turbo? 172/182

[3i_gaz]

Basically turbo'ing my 172, been looking at t25/t28 set ups.

After having a nose about my garage today i've found a T3 from a 3 door cossie, i know the flange would mate up fine to my megane manifold. Just wondering peoples opinions on using this turbo on an F4R.

Anyone used one before?

Thanks for the input. Gaz

Doubt it will fit, you will need a lot more than that to get it running though.

i know whats needed to get it running, that wasnt the question though mate. I wouldnt say its physically alot bigger than the focus RS turbos people run on them as they dont stick off the manifold as much.

Go and swap the T3 for Sticky's T25

haha could just take it when he's not looking Kelv... lol

​Would like to use the t3 to be a bit different...

If it fits in the space and you can get the rest to fit and work then why not.
mapping can be taken care of easily.

Will pick up my manifold this week and find out at the weekend bud!

Slower spool up I would imagine with the T3...

Yes, but it's not a 'big turbo' anyway, so I wouldn't say it'll be full of lag. Nice size turbo IMO.

Td04 from a forester or one from an S13/200sx

Is it a megane 225 manifold you have? Are you running the standard inlet?
