CT20 to T3 Turbo Upgrade, 3T-GTEU Engine

CT20 to Larger T3 Turbo Upgrade.

This is a 60-Trim T3 from a 3 litre Nissan V6 engine (VG30), it's good for around 320 hp on the 3T-GTEU engine (thanks Matti). The compressor inlet is alot larger than the standard one found on the CT20, allowing more air flow. A turbo like this can be picked up second hand from most wrecking yards and Japanese Importers around the world. I got mine from Paradise Toyota Recyclers. Paradise Toyota Recyclers located in South Australia.

The turbo also had to be rotated so the oil return line would point downwards, as the beaten/foamed up oil has to leave the turbo by gravity, without any presure.

Here is a shot of the Turbo bolted up to the studs in the adapter plate, which is bolted onto the exhaust manifold with counter sunk allen key bolts.

Another view, my friend also brazed a piece of pipe on the old oil return line plate, which then had some hose joining it to the pipe on the engine block
