ebay obx 20g

[white90gsx]

Was wondering if this is any good? Will it bolt right up?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-...016QQitemZ260172014823QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Will it bolt right up?

Not to a stock Exhaust Manifold from a DSM or O2 Housing.

You could get an adapter plate though. But I'd rather rock a Evo 3 16G over that. And I"M NOT AN EVO 3 fan

You get what you pay for in the Turbo scene especially. Buy quality proven parts, you won't be sorry.

OBX is known for making less than premium parts with very little R&D. I'd maybe use a coupler or something made by them, but a turbocharger is a little bit much. Also, that thing is flanged all wrong and if you're going to switch to a Garrett manifold/o2 housing then you may as well buy a real T3/T4 for only a couple hundred more.

First off you will need a t3/t4 manifold. Second you will need a wastegate, third you will need an install kit, and last and most important you will have to fab up a custom o2 housing. Truthfully I would go with a big 16g turbo. Most already come with an install kit and you will be able to use your stock manifold and o2 housing.

, I figured you cant ###k up a coupler. I bought a OBX coupler:

That was on 30 psi I think. They even ###k up couplers, you want to try one of there turbos?

 

[white90gsx]

Never mind....I think the 16g would be just fine plus a 16g bolts right up i think right? What about this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EVO-...002QQitemZ120173866571QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

That's a knock off 16g. Spend the extra bank and go with a MHI turbo.

 

[white90gsx]

Do you have the website for that?

 

[KazooGS-T]

Any of our site vendor's should have them. MHI=Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Let me check and see if anyone is offering a good sale at the moment.
http://www.dsmtuners.com/classified...perpage=12&sort=1&stype=&limit=&cat=7&ppuser= Check and see if you can find any good 16g's that are either used or new in our classified's section. One guy is selling a ported Mitsubishi EvoIII 16g for 260.

That ad seems EXTREMELY shady.

DESCRIPTION: ECLIPSE BIG 16 G TURBO ( with all oil line fittings)

I thought this was supposed to be an Evo 3?

The internals use a high flowing turbine stage complimenting an extremely efficient TB03 compressor stage rated at 36lbs/min.

No.

On the other hand, the only convincing argument they made on there was that their measurements of the compressor and turbine wheels matched up to the real deal.

I like the price and service at JnZTuning. www.jnztuning.com
You want a MHI EVOIII16G. That is the best one.
Here is the exact one you want from JnZ:

Thanks all...One other question is that im looking to run mid 12s on an automatic fwd so can this turbo help me there or should I look for a 20g?

 

[KazooGS-T]

You might. Just depends. IF you want a 20g, pm me. I have a spare MHI in my room.

First things is get all the proper traction mods (springs, adjustable shocks, urthane motor mounts & a proper LSD) & then most important get slicks. A 16g series turbo or larger won't have much problem propelling an awd car to mid 12 second slips but it won't happen on a fwd with street tires, even with a much larger turbo.

 

[white90gsx]

Yes I know what i need but im building a motor right now so im going to concentrate on dumping my money into that..Im hoping to get the car done by spring i have lots of work to do but i will hunt for the proper traction needs later on in the process. I just want to get the motor the way i want it.
