Need a T3 or hybrid upgraded turbo to replace my failed stock unit on 83 zxt coupe. Seals failed and started useing alot of oil.
Looking for a new or rebuilt or used turbo bur must be rock solid, very good condition. Name your price....

 

i have a used t-3 turbo out of a 1983 280zxt auto tranny so u know it hasnt been abused from a man ual tranny... im asking 125 including shipping u just need theturbo right ? or the manafold and down pipe?

 

Explain to me why a turbo from a manual would have more abuse....

 

How much shaft play is there, and what shape are the impeller blades?
I just need the turbo itself, what mileage was on the car it came from?

Sent you a email about your hood by the way, but recieved no response.

 

yep sorry i was just able to get into my accoutn i got your messege 100 dollars for the hood sounds ok but i will have to find out shiping prices i need your zip code mine is 88101... umm as far as the turbocharger it came off a engine with only 60,000 miles there is little bit but not noticable movement the turbo right now is still attacted to the manafold and to the down pipe so i will haev to pull it off both.. also the hood is cleaned up and ready for shipment if u want im still having problems getting pictures to load on zdriver.com...

 

To Nismo pick ( turbo chargers on automatic 280zxt from what i learned dont go out as much as the manual tranny 280zxt.... i do belive to abuse of over reving... over boosting .... over shifting points ... some of us like me shift at between 3,500 or less... its very rare i ever take it to yellow line... but remeber i dont have tons of money to poor into my turbo YET... but dont get me wrogn one day i will own a nice polished turbo t-4...

 

That really doesn't make sense.... not due to a manual tranny anyway. Overboosting isn't caused by a manual transmission... it's caused by a malfunction with the wastegate or emergency release valve. The L28ET's hp peaks at about 5200rpm... The only difference between the two, would be that the auto doesn't require a BOV, so the would be less times that the Jpipe gets a surge.... but the stock 280zxt only runs about 6psi boost.

I've said this before, and I'm sure it's not the last time: A worn out turbo is 99% of the time caused by lack of proper lube.... Turbo timers were invented to allow the turbo to cool & slow down after a hard run. If you shut the car off right after a hard boost, the turbo is still spinning very fast & the oil is drained & not replenished.... That is the main reason turbo's fail & get worn out. Yes... "Overboosting" can damage the turbo, but the engine rpms will max out far before the turbo. Remember... there are people running 20 - 30psi boost... and if properly taken care of, won't have probs.

 

Ok, it is a deal on the turbo. My zip is 98168. You should have my email address to let me know how you would like the payment. Pictures of the turbo and hood would be great also.
Thanks....
