t-3 conversion question.....please look.

Does anyone have some close-up pics of a t-3 compressor housing that has been ground to fit the 87-88 IC? Do you open up the outlet at all? The IHI seems to have a much larger outlet hole. You can email them to me at [email protected] or post them here. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Just make it look like the IHI one, that is all that I did. You can use a sander and just sand that dude round.

You will also have to make some sort of adapter plate to clock the snout that bolts to the front of the compressor housing. This needs to be done so that the VAM hose can still be inline with the intake for the compressor and the VAM itself. That hose cannot make a sharp bend.

Get ahold of tlswart. My car and all of my parts are at his house. See if you can get him to take a pic of it and post it here. I don't have any way of posting pics, hell for that matter I can't even take them [Image: mad.gif] .

Hey Pete, whats your turn-around time on porting intakes/exhaust? I might be doing them a piece at a time to ease the pain on my wallet, but with my new turbo, it will have to be done.

420,
I loaned out my digital camera. My son had to use it for the next month. I will see if I can borrow one and get you some pictures. I just went out and looked at it but I am unsure what it is that you would like. The adapter plate and the high pressure side of the compressed intake air?

Please understand that the TC in MY garage is MY TC. [Image: tongue.gif]

If any one can get pictures sooner (I hate that word) please jump in.

Yes thats what I want, mainly where the IC hose clamps on. It just looks to me like Ill only have about a half inch of the IC hose on the compressor housing. So I just want to see someone elses before I attempt mine. Thanks
