Note T3 = T03.


Note: The T03 was used starting on the Volvo 240 turbos and continued through the 1989 Volvo 700 turbo cars. It became water cooled in the 1987 model year and most replacement T03s were water cooled. In Australia, it was used in aftermarket 255 hp EFI Falcons, and factory Holden Commodres with the Nissan RB30ET 200 hp engine


300zx Turbos have great turbos, TO3's with large 0.80? AR's. Rx-7 Turbos are good too.



Most are T03's you'll find are too small from passenger cars. The Volvo or Nissan ones should be okay.

The Peugoet diesel ones are way too small, and your best bet is getting a good core by low bid on evil Bay. The T03 Super 60 is a very good turbo for a mild street engine. In my opinion, anything under the 60 trim is too small for a high winding 200 cuber.

You pay up front for a good new turbo, so find out the going rate by 'Googling' T03 turbo. Some are sold as kits for a cost.

The truth is that if you buy cheap, you must have it strip checked and potentially rebuilt. Never, ever skimp on a turbo.

I've been very fortunate to have lots of friends with IHI turbos and there is a Mag and Turbo store who sell items on behalf of if ready cash is an issue. They know that I'll be back if I break it!
