$50 for a small 16g with a blown wastegate housing

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

Sup guys,

I have a 98 Mitsu Eclipse with a t25 and I have a friend that will give me a small 16g with a blown wastegate housing for $50. Is it worth buyin? If so, what is the best way to fix it? how much will it cost to get the turbo rebuilt or can i do something to it and use an external wastegate? I searched for BLOWN WASTEGATE HOUSING but i could find anything. If i posted this in the wrong forum, sorry guys. Thanks, i need know ASAP

Depends whats actually wrong with it. The flapper is apart of the exhaust housing soo could he mean that the wheel is damaged? or the wastegate is not functioning properly? Either way its good deal for $50 you could block off the internal wastegate and mount an external probly the cheaper route would be too get a 14b turbo (stock 1g turbo share the same exhaust housing as 16g) and swap them. I`d say for 50 bucks its worth it if thats the case

Thread moved to the newbie forum.

Post pics if you can, but if its just a busted exhaust housing then I'd buy it. Then I'd throw on a Bullseye steel exhaust housing with 38mm flapper for $220. Not bad, Less than $300

 

[97spydagst]

even if u got it you could always sell it on ebay for 100 maybe more

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

Sorry guys for the late reply for the pics, but i decided to buy it here are the pics of the cracks on the exhaust housing by the wastegate flapper. Now wat is the cheapest way to rebuild it? oyea it didnt come with the stock wastegate actuator(sp?) will my t-25 actuator work?

 

[92awddsm]

Those cracks are normal. That isnt bad at all. Run that housing and it will be fine.

 

[Mike1992]

Yes those cracks are normal, however if you would like to put on a nice new exhaust housing bullseye as an excellent choice of an upgrade. Steel Housing with 38mm flapper

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

Thanks guys, now all i need to kno is wher can i get a wastegate actuator for my 16g or can i use my t25 actuator?

 

[TurboGeoff]

Whoever ported that did a SHITTY job, thats the reason why it cracked like that, its definately re-usable and i would buy a wastegate actuator off ebay for like $10 or somehow adapt your t-25 actuator. ( Not too hard)

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

Thanks, i just took the turbo apart an found out the turbine wheel has some chiped fins where can i get a new one or do i have to buy a whole rebuild kit for it?

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

Thanks guys i just ordered the steel housing from bullseye power my next problem is the turbine wheel.Here are some pics of the turbine wheel. The first pic show which fins are chipped. The single circled fin on one side has the big chip shown in the next picture and the two circled fins on the other side has small chips It is the third pic. The last pic is showin both sides Will these chips make the turbo not work? should i buy a new turbine before bolting it on or is it fine? and is the turbo unbalanced now? What should i do?

 

[doug]

I would not run that turbine wheel because, like you surmised, it looks like it would be unbalanced. Even after putting a new turbine wheel on it, you will still need to get it balanced.

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

so does n e one have any suggestions where i can get a GOOD turbine wheel cuz i need one ASAP i already got everything but that. PLEASE help me. Thanks in advance

 

[pianoman]

Try here www.turbochargers.com

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

No Luck. Thanks for tryin......N E one else have a suggestion/place where i can find a td05h turbine wheel?

 

[pianoman]

I would call them monday. Or try Forced Performance. Wait what exhaust wheel is on the 14b?

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

It is the td05 wheel on the 14b. i looked on ebay for some 14b but im just worried that if i buy one off ebay that the wheel might be as bad.

 

[Mike1992]

Your gonna have to have the turbo balanced from putting a new wheel on anyways, your better off sending it out to one of our vendors.

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

Ok guys I just recieved the Bullseye power steel turbine housing, now how do i install the centersection to it. When i try puttin it 2gether teh wheel seems to hit the wall and it doesnt turn....did they send me the wrong one, and also how do i lock the centersection to the new turbine housing?
Thanks

 

[pianoman]

Line up the pin with the hole.

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

tried that it still wont work its like one end is all the way down and the other is angled up

 

[Tallen]

Spend $15 to have it re-balanced at the local Turbo/Diesel/Diesel Performance shop. Use the VFAQ to reassemble it (it's just like a 14b). A new turbine wheel would probably cost a raping. You could always get a wheel from a 14b but then you'd have to get it balanced anyway!

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

Does N E one have a pic of a BullsEye Power TD05H housing, the pics on their site is the same but i need to see the pics of the side wher the centersection connects to because here is what mine looks like. Do u think they sent me the wrong one cuz the centersection doesnt fit and how am I suppose to lock the center to the housing?

 

[ReDEcLiPzPiNoY]

Ok guys, everythings all set for my small 16g, I have only one more question how do i lock the centersection to the Bullseye poewer turbine housin cuz the stock ring doesnt go around it. N E body else that has the Td05h housing and knows how to lock it together. PLEASE HELP ME!

THANKS
