What to ask when buying a 14B

[Mitsu_Racing]

I found a guy selling a 14B for $50 he says it need a rebuild. I'm just going to send it to FFWD Connections and have them port it and put it back together. Is there any specific questions i should as him about the turbo?

Does anybody have a pic of a 14B? Thanks.

it probably has shaft play and the wheels could be damaged ..but other than that, i dunno. I can get pictures of my 14b after i'm done porting it

 

[Mitsu_Racing]

so if it has that then it's not even worth it to buy it when you can get a better one for 100 - 150 right. I've also talked to a guy who has one in my area who said he ported it to 7cm. How can i check to see if it's really ported and done right? Also how can i check for shaft play and wheel spin? Are there any other visual checks i should make. All help is truly apprisiated. Thanks.

Dumb ?? i know, but what does the 14b come out of an where can i find them at?

ya, juss watch on dsmtrader.com, they always got 14b's for 100 bux or less. Got min for 75 bux from a friend who got a 20g for his 1g, and i jus shuved 75 bux in his face and he shuved his old 14b turbo in mine

2GUARD-14b comes out of a 1G, its what they came from the factory with. Flows like 405cfm at 15psi or sumthin i think.

Once it gets rebuilt you are going to want to get it balanced..

 

[Mitsu_Racing]

Pardon the dumb question but i've been wondering what that part is called that looks like a BOV in the top pic to the left. Thanks.

Hey mitsu racing, what kind of fuel support are you gonna get with the 14b?

 

[TurboSpoolinIns]

yea its the WG

 

[Mitsu_Racing]

For fuel support i don't really need anything. But I'm gonna do the fuel pump rewire though. But i don't know what's next after the 14B. I was thinking of getting 550 injectors but then i won't have any $$ for a AFC. Think about a 1G throttle body and intake mani. maybe. Any advice on what mods to do next from anybody would be appriciated.

 

[TurboSpoolinIns]

i'd say if you are only going to be running the 14b, a rewire and maybe a fuel pump will be needed. But the afc is better off for the tuning part of it, so i'd suggest getting an AFC over the 550's

 

[Mitsu_Racing]

The problem is i don't want to buy a AFC cuz i want to get DSMLink later down the road.
