Stuy Dude.. some questions about your 200sx if you will...

T3 Conversion! Yes, here we go - How did Neil perform the conversion? How did he get the T3 to fit to the manifold and connect it all?
Is your T3 currently water cooled?
How many miles have you done on the T3? (I take it you are still on the same T3 as when you had it fitted)
Any problems with the turbo since it was fitted?

The reason I ask is from the Essex weekend, it was discovered Neil ... might have saved some time, shall we say, in getting the turbo fitted.

Anyway the Turbo's now dead, although I suspect not from the fitting Neil performed, but the unit itself from N.London RS - so I have to get a new one. Only problem is, to fit it, I'll have to (get someone to) drill the turbo flange holes to make it fit again.

Alright Andy, not to sure how he got the tubby on to the manafold, I was under the impression that a sort of adaptor plate was made, but like I said Im not to sure http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/confused.gif

The Turbo itself I think is only oil cooled, I dont think there is a pipe on mine for water.

Ive had no problems with the T3, the manafold gaskets went in the summer, so the turbo came off for that and I also had manafold to turbo gasket replaced, and finally Ive done about 12000 miles on the turbo with not problems, and its still going strong (Probably just cursed myself now http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif )

Give Neil a ring, Im sure he'd tell you how the turbo fits the manafold so you could DIY or get someone a little more local to look at it for you.
