currently have an 84 300zx turbo torn into little rusty pieces
now re-assembling
I can get a really good deal on a garrett t5 but I can find no info (need a comp map)
if anyone has a map or a link to one I would greatly appreciate it
17 years of big block power and one year of turbo z experiance
not looking back
thank you for any help and feel free to flame -- its my favorite part

A t5? I'm thinking you must mean t3 or t4. To find a compressor map for it you'd need complete specs. Once you get those you might find the map here: http://www.mygen.com/users/dbruce/my…sor%20Maps.htm

no---- it is a t5-- old turbo design but just rebuilt
it was on a 455 buick centurion (not century)
it was running 17 psi but the guy had me build him a high comp motor-so he won't be using it now
don't know what it was for originally
flange doesn't matter - i have already built front mount and manifolds
just need to figure out my turbo before I make flanges
thanks for the input guys

never mind guys
i got the actual part # and figured out that it is an air research/garrett t5 (t-5 is cast into the cold side housing)
which is actually a small early t3 (not sure how they decided that)
weird because i always assumed that since a t4 is bigger than a t3 than a t5 would be bigger than a t4
thanks for the attemts to help on what ended up being a pointless question

Don't know alot about garret's but, holsets the hx 35, 40 and 50 all look identical the only difference is the hot side 35 small, 40 bigger, 50 huge also the hx50 the compressor is bolted together no snap ring!!!
