My Turbo

[Sledgods]

k so i just bought a '95 gsx. my first turbo car. one of my buddies asked me what kind turbo it has. i have not looked yet becuase i put it into storage for winter as soon as i got it. he said it has a 14b which is apparentyl a decent turbo for stock but everywhere i have read it say's a t-25! anybody know which one it's supposed to have?

 

[spoonman]

2Gs have t-25 turbos not as good as the 14b.

 

[braceyoself777]

shoot. alright thankyou

oh but it has the '94 engine. is it still going to have the t-25 ### of the new body style?

 

[dsmulla]

If its a 94 motor, then most likely it is a 6 bolt motor which probably does have a 14b. I also suggest searching because all your questions have already been answered. Happy boosting!!

simple just take a look at the turbo... if it has a j pipe bolted on to it it is a 14b if it dosent have any thing bolted on to it and it just connects to the lower icp then its a t-25...try to take some picks you mite get lucky and have a 16g... take off the intake and take pictures of the fins and post them so that we can tell you more accurately what it is.

94's had 7 bolts in them.

 

[crazy_skier]

correct, but all 1G's had 14b's if they were manuals. Some autos had 13g's

 

[Sledgods]

k i'll see if i can get in there to take ome pics.

 

[drewvr4]

take off the intake and snap a picture of the inside of it, we can tell by how many blades are on the inducer wheel

 

[Sledgods]

k this is the best shot i could get. i could not find my good camera so i made do with what i had. i'l ake some bettr pics f needed once ifinmy oher camera

 

[dsmconvict]

Can you take a picture of the housing too? That would help a bunch.

 

[Sledgods]

ya sure i'll try and find my better camera and do it tomorrow.

 

[AshTsi]

I'm probably wrong, but i thought big/small fin like in the pic's was 16g? or at least thats how the differences besides numbers were explained to me? i thought 14b's had same sized fin's no smaller?

 

[firefightermdc]

yup that's a big 16g or a evo 16..my big 16 looks like that big fin little fin..14b's have the same size fins throughout and t25's have a little hamster in the middle runnin on a wheel

 

[Mr Peepers]

It's all guessing until he gets a pic of the housing, but my bets are on a t25 or 13g. The nut holding the compressor wheel is very large compared to the inducer.

 

[AshTsi]

I have a small 16g and the fin's look similar. i think all 16g's have the big/small fin, we would need the numbers off the housing to tell what type it would be. but im still not sure if it is a 16g i just thought that was how you could tell the difference between the turbo's

Agreed, i was also thinking the same. But it could also be how the picture was taken, it looks like he was very close to the inlet when he took the picture that might have something to do with it. maby if it were more of a distance it would put it into perspective.

Just get the casting numbers off the housing and we could probably tell you exactly what it is!

 

[Mr Peepers]

i think all 16g's have the big/small fin

With MHI's:

A "g" after the number indicates it has uneven compressor blade heights.

"t," "b" or "c" indicates all the blades are the same height.

Most likly it is a t-25 the t-25,16g have similer blades. Heres a pic.

 

[gsxeclipse97]

I agree it looked to small to be a 16g im going with t25 as well

 

[dsmconvict]

Since the car is a 2g I'm gonna go with T-25. But who really knows until we know more.

 

[Sledgods]

ok here's the best i could do

 

[MrBoxx]

T25. Stock turbo for the 2g.

 

[_DeS_]

t-25 for sure, no question about it!

 

[Artago]

^^ Yup, that's the t-25 hairdryer.

 

[Sledgods]

alright thanks for all your help
