Anyboby ever used a GT3271R turbo?

[nosebleedZ]

Hey guys, I picked up a Garrett GT3271R Turbo on a "horse trade" & this thing is HUGE! The compressor housing is 9.5" (says .70) and it has a T-3 exhaust snail (.82 AR). I've got a new L-28 engine project this winter for my '79 ZX hardtop, and was curious about expected power or flow from this thing if anyone has used it on a L-6? It is a water cooled/ BB center section unit. I will have to move it forward about 4" in the engine bay to clear the strut tower and put it where the A/C compressor once lived.

I also have a question or two, or five about miscellaneous parts & such for the install:

1)where can you buy the oil feed and oil drain fitting (bolt on, no threads)? He didn't have them.

2)where can I find a T-3, 4-stud downpipe 2.5-3" (straight, unlike stock DP)?

3)where can I find a T-3 outlet flange to weld to the front lower section of a stock turbo exhaust manifold?

4)what is the acceptable axial play of a BB turbo cartridge? This one will move a little less than 1 mm when rocked up/ down, side to side but does not contact the housing(s). Rebuild?

5)I need to clock the exhaust snail, and I don't want to damage the impeller, it's stuck with the bolts removed. Is it a torch & mallet job for two guys?

 

Thanks, and appreciate all input!

You should post a couple of pics of the oil drain and feed.You might try contacting Precision Turbo as they should be able to source the oil inlet fitting as it was a specality item for my bb turbo.They should be able to help with the drain fitting as well.That turbo should be capable of making 550hp.

Does the turbo look kinda like this?

Thanks 510, I will try to contact them concerning the fittings. Yeah, that is the turbo, if you can believe it, I traded an MSD 6BTM for that turbo (it was brand new, though). I think I came out decent for a trade. Do you have any ideas for the downpipe? Or a T-3 flange?

Well, you could use a T3 to V band adaptor

or just get a 4 bolt flange

either way a custom downpipe will have to be made and an external downpipe fitted.A wastegate adaptor to T3 flange will simplify things

My advice for the downpipe is to find a welder who has made a downpipe before as it is quite an art to fittment especially in tight locations.
