260turbo Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hey, a friend of mine built a t3/t4b hybrid today by installing the backing plate, wheel, and compressor housing of a t4 onto the center section and exhaust housing of the t3. It was operational tonight and seemed to work quite nicely. My question was Has anyne else ever done this or know anything about doing it? I was thinking about possibly doing it myself but using a better wheel then the s trim. What do you all think? Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 hurm maybe i should add a little bit of information to cancel out my worthless post. There isnt anything wrong with building a turbo like that as that is how a t3/t4 turbo is made... I dunno what problem you would run into with balancing but it should work. -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I've done it and never had problems with the turbo. Same goes for rebuilding them. Each part is balance. I know Turbonetics balances theres as an assembly and they mark each part so they can be lined up on assembly. Clifton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to use the correct compressor housing and backplate too if the exducer is larger. Don't know how much power you are looking to make but the stock T3 turbine wheel is a power limiter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NISMO619 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 i have a hybrid t4 houseing and a v trim on my stock exhaust side too. i just installed it the other day .. main question is since u are running a new turbo set up do u or dont u have to re adjust your mass air flow meter ?
