Need help with turbo info

[tsturg216]

I just recently purchased a 92 laser rs awd.. I was just wondering if anyone out there could help me out??

What is the stock turbo for this car?? It came with a Evo III GT. But read a couple places that they were horrible?

What's a "cheap" decent turbo for the laser?
Or the best way to go..

Mind everyone I'm not building a race car just something fun to drive.
Thanks for any help!

Stock turbo is a 14b if it's a manual car, auto would be a 13g. The reason I the evo 3 gt is so bad is because it is cheap eBay crap turbo. Cheap decent turbo would be a 14b they can be found for 100 bucks.

Stock was the Garrett T-25 which wasn't a bad little turbo since it spooled quick and helped the motor pump out 205HP at peak torque using 91 fuels out of the factory. since your Laser had a 7bolt motor in it for 1992.

EVO III was the Mitsu Big16G turbo install, which shot out 265 HP out of the factory on a 6bolt 4G63 Japanese designed motor and not the revamped on for the US market.

I have a B16G in my Laser since the motor came out of a Galant VR4...and with yellow top injectors, I could muster 230HP stock.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick info..it is a 5 speed as well. Any recommended sites to pick one up? Oh and I have 6 bolt to drop in it.. Just getting the final pieces together. Didn't know if it would be worth having the Evo 3 dsm turbo rebuilt or just buy a new one?

 

[DSM1G90]

6 Bolt and the B16G works together with no problems, even though the B16G can handle tons more than what you have presently.

If you remain stock, you might have to use the injectors from the 7bolt head to match your ECU so your A/F ratios aren't all messed up using larger injectors.

Rebuilding the turbo is much cheaper than buying a new one unless you have lots of green lining your pockets for the purchase.

..and rear hatch struts are easy to replace so you don't have to do the 2x4 trick and fearing in busting out the hatch window when the plank accidentally slips.

T25's came on all 1995-1999 turbo dsm's. 1990-1994 manuals had the 14b, and automatics had the 13g. No evo ever came with a 6bolt engine. The Jdm 6bolts are out of galants.

That is a ebay turbo not a real Mitsubishi turbo. Looks like it has wheel damage also so I wouldn't even mess with rebuilding it. I would search the classifieds for a replacement turbo or get a hold of one of the freelancers on here like jusmx141.

 

[tsturg216]

Oh okay. Thanks! Yea that turbo is trashed I'll do some searching. Anything I should stay away from?

Lots of oem turbos out there just make sure the shaft play isn't too bad or youll need a rebuild no in and out.

I personally wouldn't throw a used turbo on my car without rebuilding it first! And o.p. get that eBay hunk of junk off your car before it really distroys the motor!! I mean it already looks like it sucked in a rock or 2 ouch, you might want to check your oil real good next time you change it. I can only imagine what's floating around in it!

 

[GSR-VR]

local junk yards or you pull and pay yards will probably have what you need for cheap. Beware though as most yards have little or no warranty on parts like turbochargers regardless of condition or any other factors.

If you decide to go to a local yard to pull your turbo please be aware of many signs of turbo failure including but not limited to excessive in and out shaft play as well as orbital shaft play. The turbo should spin freely by hand and with no noise. There should be no cracking of the turbine side of the turbo or any coking of oil. (common problems with 1G cars or any other neglected turbo car)

Thats not even an evo three gt turbo..thats straight up ebay.

 

[tsturg216]

That turbo came with the car.. The car didn't have a motor When I bought it. That's why I got a 6 bolt for it. That turbo has all sorts if shaft play that's why I was looking to rebuild it or just purchase a new turbo.. Any input on which route on a turbo.. Cheap but good turbo..

 

[Bud92gsx]

The 14b is always a great option And are plentyful.

[Dsmkauai]

Throw that turbo away it isn't even good as a paper weight hahahaha! I would get a 14b rebuild it and be on your way!

 

[tsturg216]

That's the route I will probably go then! Thanks know anyone looking for Scrap turbos

 

[Bud92gsx]
