Was just wondering if a t3 hybrid turbo for a s1 rs turbo would work on my turbo lump? ie would it fit my metro manifold? could i just bolt on and drive away?

It would, but it would be horrible to drive.

Lightweight racer coming soon.

However, a standard S1 RS Turbo have been proven successful in Minis.

Find out exactly what spec it is, whats been done to it.

Sayings it is hybrid could mean its just been rebuilt with a 360degree thrust in, in that case it would be more than suitable for a high bannanah A series

Hmm.

To be honest I reckon I will stick with the standard t3 for now until i change for a gt1752.

When i buy the GT though i reckon i will buy a remanufactured one and have done with it.

sorry to bring up a old post but....

can you just bolt on a t3 from a S1 RS Turbo to a metro manifold with know mods to the manifold?
and can you use the metro exhuast elbow etc etc?

cheers

It will need the metro wastegate and exhaust elbow fitting. The core will also need rotating so the oil feed and drain will be in line with the block. The compressor housing also needs lining up so it suits the pipe run for your intercooler piping. I also made a actuator bracket as well. So no not really! It will fit too the standard exhaust manifold though. Ron

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.
