T2 with a/r of 0.52
Turbo Mini Forums

I have access to a garrett T2 with an a/r of 0.52. I don't know exactly what model turbo it is or what vehicle it came from.

So would a turbo with an a/r as listed above be appropriate for a 1275 running a Mirage Motorsports manifold? Any considerations I need to take into account here?

thanks!

Sorry! The motor is a real metro turbo motor with 45k miles. The motor will be installed in mostly stock form. What I want is a motor that will provide spool up that is quicker than the stock T3. I'm mostly using the Mirage manifold so I don't have to cut up the bulkhead on my mostly original 61 Austin Seven.

The car is an occasional driver. But I still want something that is closer to a 'driver' than a full on racer. Drivability is good! Turbo lag is bad! :) I want about 110-130hp.

Does it look like it is oriented correctly to fit properly?

I think Vegard now officially has become the laguage police on this board aswell...:) He is already the No 1. language advicer on the norwegian boards....

he is also the number one drunk

i'm thinking for a std metty turbo engine that the AR is far too large. i'm running a 0.49 and a full out turbo motor and consider that to be about right for 150bhp+

i'd go for something like a R5 turbo if you can with a 0.35 AR.

seem to be a t25 ,
agree with Iain it's too large for a std engine.
std renault 5 turbo will make a good job.

Interesting. How do you manage to use most of the Mirage manifold but not all?

The number seemed a bit too large. And the guys info is less than straight forward....I guess it could be a T25. I was going to go look at it over the weekend.

See the thing about the Renault R5 turbo is that there were never any R5 turbos sold in the US. That turbo is unobtanium in these parts. I see them on ebay UK occasionally. But the people selling the parts rarely will ship to the US. If someone on here has one for sale, I'd be willing to buy! I just can't afford the 'new part' price as listed at Mirage's site.

Thanks again for the info! I'll leave that T25 to someone else.
