Specifically what turbo is this and will it work

[rhubbard]

I need to know if this turbo will work on my 88 lancer shelby. This thing has a different compressor housing and wheel than mine. my turbo doesn't have the bolt holes and on my wheel some of the fins are lower than the others. If it'll work than I'll just swap on my comp. housing, if not then i'll pass on it. Also, the wastegate is setup a little different than mine.

I'm sure with enough welding and cutting for custom mounts it could work.

[rhubbard]

what welding would it require? it's a garrett t3 from a turbo dodge. it should bolt up?

[GLHNSLHT2]

what motor is in your lancer shelby?

[rhubbard]

2.2l TII

[BadAssPerformance]

If the compressor wheels are the same size (ex. both stock) then you can swap covers & actuators no problem, just be careful and clean about it

[mark]

thats from a turboI car. You should be able to rotate the compressor housing to use it in a t2 car/setup.

[GLHNSLHT2]

If it is a T2 car just swap compressor housings and wastegate actuators. I'd also use your Swing valve so the d'pipe will bolt up. Could you get a lancer shelby with a 2.2 T1 Mitsu in 88?

[rhubbard]

aren't the TI turbos smaller and not as good?

[rhubbard]

i think the shelby lancer used a TI, and it wasn't as good.

Here's how to make it a turbo II turbocharger:

Both lancer Shelby and Shelby lancers used the Turbo II Garret T3 turbo.

As long as they are stock (or modded th esame), the Turbo I Garret T3 and the Turbo II Garret T3 have teh same wheels in them, only difference is housings... see my turbo tech page for more info

CAN BE THIS....



I am gonna BOLT ER IN AND FLY!

[GLHNSLHT2]

yeah but if he's got all the T2 parts it's the easier way to go.

[puppet]

Not 100% sure but that wheel looks like a MP+ wheel. If so, T2 housing swappage is out. ... but BARRON's method will work. Good turbo to grab. If it's what I think it is probably has the .63 turbine housing too. That will be stamped on the inside of the exhaust housings inlet.
Measure the compressor inlet against your T2 inlet to be sure.
Some minor work will get it to fit under the one peice just fine.

[GLHNSLHT2]

The MP+ turbo's didn't have different wheels, They were just a .63 exhaust housing bolted on.

[puppet]

Yeah, they're bigger than the T2 and just under the S60 in size. (Same sized wheel as on the 16v T3's turbo's,)
They just machined the covers to get them to fit. Note the inlet's ridge ... a little smaller than a non machined inlet.

[rhubbard]

ignore, go down

[rhubbard]

so if it's a t1 then I can just swap the comp. housing? also, this turbo has no egr on it.

[BadAssPerformance]

Yes. When you have both covers off, measure both wheels to make sure that they are the same.
