Can an evo 6.5 16g be bolted on to a dsm?

[90blacktsiawd]

I was just curious about this. I've been checkin out the evo 6.5 16g turbo that bolts right up to an evo 8. I realize that the ex. housing inlet is much different and it would take a custom manifold atleast. Let me know if you guys think it can be done and how.

Anything can be done, but after spending all the money to fab something up you could have bought a turbo for DSM's that's just as good.

Why bother? But to answer your question yes it can be done with money.

Thats what i figured but i was just curious. That seems like a really good turbo so i had to ask.

There are adapter plates available to adapt a garrett turbo to a Mitsu manifold.
And there are plates to adapt a garrett turbo to a stock Honda EX manifold.

I dont see why to couldnt design a plate adapter to allow that turbo to bolt to your stock manifold.... If you have any machining experience at all, this should be an easy task.

Yo can't bolt it up because the turbine wheel will spin in the wrong direction. Maybe if you took it apart and put an EVO3 wheel on it it might work. But that would probably cost more than it would be worth to do. Just buy a bigger turbo if you want more power. An 18g is bigger and looks like a 16g and should spool pretty quick, by 3500 the latest.

Putting an evo3 wheel in there would kind of defeat the purpose. If im not mistakin the 6.5 has titanium turbine wheels and shaft. Seeing as how the turbo itself is 1150 from forced performance i could definately get somthing better that woudl bolt right up. Hmmmm ball bearings would be very nice. And at that price they could be had.

Guy what crack are you smoking ,, let me know as that stuff is shure to make me rich.

Where in the world or who told you the 6.5 wheel would flow the opposite way? Really think about it.

I've discussed this matter a few times with other members ,this turbo can be facing upside down with the compressor side facing the front of the car and the exhauste wheel will still turn the way it was intended. Reason being is because the housing no matter wich way is facing is made to direct the turbulant exhauste flow in a specific direction.

You can stuff an evo3 ex housing over the wheel to make it fit. Like sbr fit in a tdo6h wheel in the bastard version.

If you really wanted this turbo you could even get a bullseye housing for it.

But heres the kicker , the compressor map showing the cfm for this 6.5 evo turbo is the exact same map fp was showing in retrospec to the evo3 a few months back.

This will explain alot.

I am not sure that it will work because of the 'reverse scroll' setup.

 

[half-cocked]

Thats what turboDSMer was talking about, it makes no difference. The turbo wheels will rotate the correct way no matter what its on.

 

[evolvingGS-t]

Well it seems to me that if you flip something around that spins in one direction, that it would spin in the oppisite if you flip it backwards, right? Or am I taking a, to in depth look at this?

 

[90blacktsiawd]

It's not possible for it to spin the wrong way. The exhaust housing is going to direct the air the proper way no matter how you mount the turbo.
