Note: Always balance your full rotating assembly when modifying a turbo, even if each part is individually balanced. See Justin's post below for a video.
Just thought I'd share with everyone my latest project.
Had an old small 16g sitting around from my old car, so I thought I'd learn how to rebuild them, mess around and make a good steet turbo.
A small 16g requires machine of the bearing housing to accept the 20g wheel.
If you have a big/evo 16g this mod is bolt on!
There's a small recess that the wheel sits into. The s16g has a smaller diameter wheel, hence the machining. Cost $50 locAL machine shop.
I used all turbo lab parts. Including mhi rebuild kit, the 7cm evo 3 turbine housing, and a 3" tdo6 cover with 20g wheel.
The wastegate is a Kinugawa adjustable. It came with like 7 springs too! I wanted to keep this turbo internally gated. I had to drill and tap another hole for the wastegate, and make spacer brackets. So I'd recommend if using this wastegate, to also use Kinugawas cover.
