16g EVO III turbo question

[jasoncitrano]

I just bought an evo III turbo and i want to make sure it's actually an evo III, how you be exactly sure it's an evo and not just a small 16g...? model number on side is TD04H...thanks

 

[V8HAHA]

i belive the 16g is TD05H

sorry man u just got ripped off all 14B and 16G SHOULD come with the TD05H Housing. It sounds like you got a 13G which comes off auto 1G and makes the same power as a 2G T-25.

like everyone else said shoulda said TD05H. Thats what mine says neways

 

[jasoncitrano]

my bad it is TDO5H but still can't this be a small 16g? is there any markings on an evo III that actually shows it's an evo ?? and not just a ported 16

flange for exhaust mani and o2housing is a bit different on evo turbos.

16 looks square, evos are cut around the holes.

thats not always true about the turbine housing not being square. the OEM 16G that comes from the evo 3 motor have the square flange on it. The only way you can tell is by looking at the turbing port and wastegate port. The turbine port Flares out..leaving about a .25 inch spacing between the turbing port and wastegate port.

Also when you drive the car, do you notice a little more turbo lag then your old 14B? Does it boost higher into the RPM range? THough not conclusive, this gives you a clue..

If it says TD04H then its indeed a 13g which is off a 1g auto. If it was a 14b or any of the 16g's it would of said TDO5H. I say you need to get a hold of the person you bought it from beucase he has some explaining to do.

sorry, i figured this out a while ago, you can tell by the ehxuast housing

 

[1993eclipseGS]

did he sell you a real evo 16g then?

 

[jasoncitrano]

Yep, i read the wrong numbers on it, i have so many of these things layin around my garage, guess i read the wrong one or something, but it's an evo, anyways i sold it on ebay to some smuck, and i bought a brand new one
