14b and 16g turbos

[92las92]

i searched all over read at least 200 threads and could not find any good numbers for these turbos what are there hp ratings. and what psi can each one withstand like max boost levels? overall which one is more efficent and performs the best???

you didnt search hard enough.

small 16g i made 338awhp over 400crank. search more

Not to jack your post or anthing but that sounds really impressive, how much boost did it take you to do it and mod list. Like head work, im manifold and etc.

obviously there are some numbers on the 16g its all i ever here about but iwant a comparison and actuall numbers on the 14b. plus im done searching wasted all that time and didnt find anything thats why i asked

i have never once heard anyone say the 14b is better than the 16g! You can get more power out of the 16g. I personally like my t3/t4 though.... but i guess that wasnt part of the debate...

A 16g is a more efficent turbo, period. To debate which one is better is to debate whether a t-28 is better than a t-25.

While it's not the wrong question to ask what the maximum amount of boost these turbos can handle, it's not the right one either. With these turbos, maximum boost is really going to be dependent on what supporting modificitaions you have (intercooler, fuel system, control method). Most people will recommend no more than 13-15 psi with each turbo if you're still on the stock fuel setup, but Nate Chrisman of Diamdon Star Motorsports has taken his shop talon to 21 psi with the 14b, and he was only limited to that amont of boost because he choose to stick with the stock sidemount intercooler to compete in the factory appearing class at the '04 Shootout.

You're not going to find any good solid numbers on what these turbos can make at their max because people are able to push these turbos beyond what was previously thought possible. Nate Chrisman took that same 14B talon to low 11's. One of his customers took his Galant to high 12's. The guy that I bought my used 16G from took his Galant to mid 12's.

But to get you on your way, here is a link that shows the flow maps of various turbos including the 14B, 16G, big 16G, and the evo 3 16G, with instructions on how to read them. You'll see the difference between a 14B and 16G right away.
