[99gst_racer]

I just finally got my 14B on my 2G this weekend. I know it's not much, but it was free and it's an imporvement over the T-too-small. What do you guys think?

(PS - Sorry for the blurry second pic......)

There's no better place to spend a weekend, than in the garage swapping turbos. I didnt run into a single problem with installation. It almost scared me that it was a surprisingly smooth process.

feel a big difference?

Unfortunately, I'm waiting for my polished WG actunator to come in the mail. As soon as it does, the car will be ready to go. I'm hoping to feel a really big difference. Especially in the 5K-redline range. I should have it by mid-week, and I'll post results.

where'd you get the J-pipe from?

I got the J-pipe off of eBay. The seller said it was a Dejon Tool. I paid $43. There is another one on there right now if you're interested.


Thanks for the compliments guys.

Man from the side it look like a humoungous turbo. Then you see the gap between the j-pipe and the turbo.

Nice clean install man.

hows the spool?

hows the spool?

I dont have a WG actunator for it yet, so I havent driven it yet. I should have it within the next couple days. As soon as I get it in the mail, I'll have it on the car and I'll post results.

is the j-pipe the only pipe u need to install the 14-b with? i'm still on the stock sidemount w/ hardpipes.

This paticular j-pipe make the turbo a down-firing turbo. It would work for you, but you would also need a silicone 90 degree elbow to connect the piping. This stuff isnt cheap either.... They do make pipes that are meant to be used with stock side-mounts, that dont require an expensive 90 degree elbow.

All I gotsta say is that your 14b is very nicely polished

 

[fwdturbobov1996]

i didnt know 14b's came with a Tdo5H

 

[blcknspo0ln]

all 14b's and 16g's and some 20g's come with the tdo5h housing

 

[quickplymouth]

The little turbo that could.

 

[GhostSpooLrTK]

I also did the 14b swap and it made an awesome difference before my engine blew

But yeah the swap was actually REALLY easy - I would have had it done in 1 day if i had all the parts when i started but i didnt .

It was cake taking off , i just ripped shit and cut crap - Putting it in was the only hard part ### i lifted it up and into the bay, so i had to bribe my lil brother with a beer to get him to help me by screwing in the studs to hold the engine up....


Man holding that 20lbs Turb up there seemed like an eternity for my skinny ass hahaha

 

[1fstSS]

the pics dont do the polish job any justice. i seen it when i stopped by to pick up a tranny, the whole car looks nice!!

 

[sjwelna]

Looks good, I'm sure you will be happy with the gains from going to the 14b, it's like a whole new car afterwards. (i.e. power above 5500rpm) Let us know how you like it.

Hey, thanks man.

 

[99gst_racer]

Hey guys, I also forgot to mention that along with the 14b swap, I also installed a SBR FMIC. Check it out.

Also, if anyone is familiar with 14b "boosting" problems, please come and help me out.

heh with the way you have that turbo set up in there... looks like a perfect 20G drop in.. for when you are ready that is.

 

[InfamousEclipse]

BLING! looks blingin for a 14b... you had a FMIC on a T-25? ah come on throw a 16G in there...

oh and your wipers look tacky take em back to stock... just my oppinion

Thanks

you had a FMIC on a T-25?

Yeah, I smashed my stock side-mount about 2 years ago, and my insurance wrote me a check for like $600, so naturally I bought a FMIC instead of another stocker.....

ah come on throw a 16G in there...

I refuse to pay for anything other than what I really want. The 14b was free, and if I find a free 16g, i'll put it on it. But I'll pay for my 50 trim when I save enough pennies....
