This is the turbo I have been eyeballing. Seems to be a common bolt in upgrade. Nothing crazy but a better stock style.Bummer. Go for the E3 (big) 16G with the 7cm turbine housing. @JusMX141 with the turbo hookup! It's a really nice street turbo that makes good torque and still spools up decent.
Funny enough I googled "16G with the 7cm turbine housing" to do some research and he was in the first post I clicked on with some very helpful information about part numbers and housing sizes.
I thought about doing something like that but I dont think I want to mess with the Chinses ones. I know some last but I also know some dont. Would rather pay a bit more for something proper that will last.16g would be your best bet, however blown Chinese 16g knockoffs are a dime a dozen, could always rob the more open 7cm housing and adjustable gate actuator off one cheap for your 14b if desired. I think it’s been years since I’ve seen a 6cm turbine housing from a 14b that isn’t cracked.
The crack isnt my only concern. The wastegate actuator is also not centered at all. This is not something I have personally seen before.
That is one of the concerns. I didnt know it could be hit back into place. Tried this and it worked great. Sadly while I was there I found more cracks. Not just around the wastegate. I think im going to have to replace the turbo either way.If your concern is the gate offset hit the shaft with a hammer and knock the bushing back into place. The lever arm should be flush to the casting.
The e316g is sorta what I was thinking when I got the injectors. They were also a very good price. I actually was going to run the current turbo for a while until I felt that I needed more power but didnt want to go something too crazy. Still want the car to be reliable.The limiting factor is your injectors. They're a tad on the small side for pushing anything more than a e316g while maintaining sub 80 idc, so anything larger turbo wise would require bigger squirts.
It's anecdotal but I was pushing damn near 80% with 10.5-.8 at 23psi on a evo1 16g, 91oct and fic 750s.
Some bonus pictures for fun...
This crack goes all the way through.
Here are 3 cracks near the wastegate.
Here is the wastegate flap thingy after I beat it back into place. There are cracks on either side.
is 11010?? I cant find much info on this number.
