T3 turbo isnt a brand. It's a size.


If it was me I'd find a decent turbo and intercooler and get Allan at solid fabrications to custom plumb it all in with custom manifolds etc.

Ahhh i thought it was a model like a garret t3 instead of a ko3 or ko4

Im from NI so would be a long trip to get the work done, gonna use a few guys over here to fit some bits and a guy from Type 2 honda to tune and install turbo

Ive been through enough cowboy mechanics to know when someone can do something and wouldnt trust a 5k build to someone i just met haha

As far as i can remember, parts needed are

Darton wet sleeves
Forged pistons (mahle)
Gold eagle rods
All new gaskets
Turbo manifold (ramhorn?)
T3 turbo(hybrid?)
3inch exhaust
FMIC and piping
Probably some more piping and stuff like an oil return ive forgotten

No need for sleeves if your using mahles mate as they are frm friendly. And they are good for 400bhp.
Darton flange sleeves are good enough on a h22 closed deck.

no need for either if you're not exceeding 275-300bhp ;-)

but yeah if you're going big-power it's either sleeving or Mahle gold pistons.

Not sure mahles last long enough though.

Much debate over on Honda tech.

Sone say they can handle over 500bhp without crumbling away but i got a mate who races a lude was using mahls and they crumbled one reason why i wouldnt touch them just based from his experience.

They can handle power but eventually the frm liners wear out the Mahles skirt coating.
