Not all T3's are big. The biggest T3 is the Super60, which flows about 35lbs/min. The smallest is the 40trim which flows about 20lbs/min. See
www.64.225.76.178/main.htm
Turbo Tbirds came with T3 turbos, not the T3/T4 hybrids that are popular in the import tuner scene, which can put out over 500hp. I used to have a T3/T4 50 trim on my other car- it was big.

A Mitsu 14b from the 1990-1994 DSM is rated at 28lbs/min. A T25 from the 1995-1999 DSM is rated at about 25lbs/min. I upgraded the turbo on my Laser from the stock 14b to a 16G, which is rated at about 38lbs/min. I think the bigger exhaust side of the 16g lets the motor breath better even when not making boost.

VFAQ.com is a great site for turbo DSM's, here's some related info:

"What is the maximum output from the various turbos?

Max output from various turbos
TD05-14B (stock 1st gen) 275-300hp @ 21 psi
TD05-16G (small) 345-365hp @ 22 psi
TD06-16G (large) 365-385hp @ 22 psi
TD06-20G 430-450hp @ 22 psi
T25 (stock 2nd gen) 235-250hp @ ?? psi
T3 (super 60)/T2.5 hybrid 265-280hp @ ?? psi
T3 (super 60)/T2.8 hybrid 270-320hp @ ?? psi"

and more info about some popular DSM turbo upgrades: www.vfaq.com/mods/Turbo-compare.html


Water cooled turbos don't need to a turbo timer unless you like to shut the motor off right after a hard run at WOT. Mitsu turbos are water (engine coolant) cooled. I've been EOCing off the freeway for over a year. I'll see EGT's around 820*C while cruising on the freeway, ECT around 206-209*F, everything is hot, and I'll shut the motor off and coast, sometimes stopping at a red light before restarting the car. Yes, synthetic oil is needed, plus my car came with an oil cooler, so the turbo has protection from heat damage. I'm glad I have a OEM reliable turbo system.

The IHI is a VC32ax also known as the RHB52 it came off of a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe Your IHI probably was a VJ11 and yes they are tiny. My T3 is a .42/48 the DSM is a 14b. I figure any of these will work for what I want.

the key in that article is turbo matched to the engine. people put way bigger turbos in cars that aren't effecient as fas as fuel econmy goes.
