GReddy 18g from a civic si 00'

[ryanx99GS]

Okay, my friend has a 2000 civic si and said he would give me his GReddy 18g from his bolt on kit because he just got $13,000 from a settlement with a insurance company and is buying a GT28. My question is, I know they make the same kit for our cars also...will the 02 housing bolt up and manifold bolt up be the same?

The Honda kit uses a T2 Garrett style flange (think T3 but smaller). You could swap a DSM style turbine housing on it, I "think" they use a TD05H turbine wheel, but don't quote me. Tell your friend to save his money, even the largest of the GT28 family won't outflow his 18g.

 

[ryanx99GS]

Thanks for the response. Do you know where I can go about getting just a housing? And ya, its a TD05H

Most greddy turbos are just mitsu turbos with greddy mods, so in that case just find a 16g exhaust housing and throw it on.

Wil this work? eBay Motors: DSM ECLIPSE 16G TD05H 7MC2 TURBINE HOUSING TURBO (item 150342848485 end time May-31-09 18:54:15 PDT)

I don't have a lot of money and I can't afford a 300$ housing from forced performance. Also, how hard is it to change the housing? Would I have to get everything re balanced?

Looks like thats the same one as the chinabay turbos, the mitsu 16g's dont have a round part on the flange do they?

Here's a pic of FP's Evo III Turbine Housing.

Looks to be the same beside a difference on the wastegate actuator clip. Would that matter? It may be the same as the chinabay turbos but would it really make that big of a difference? It is just the housing. Mitsu parts will be inside, not chinabay

 

[viperlp01]

Ya that part is fine... China bearing and oil seals suck

 

[Strm Trpr]

You see that flange right there on the left side.
That mates up to a very similar flange on the Center Housing Rotating Assembly, or CHRA for short.
There is a clamp that holds the two together.
Shouldn't be a problem, just make sure it looks like this.
The clamp is circled in red.

 

[ryanx99GS]

Okay thanks. So just unclamp that and swap? No balancing or anything of that short is required?

 

[Steve93Talon]

NO balancing, you're not unbolting any part of the stuff that spins.

 

[ryanx99GS]

Okay, thanks for all the responses. Very helpful, and I can't wait to slap this on!

 

[Steve93Talon]

If you want to keep it internally gated you're going to have to get creative with the wastegate actuator too.

I have the same 18g right now and it bolts up to a mitsu turbine housing perfectly. I also ordered the ebay turbine housing you posted.

Actually with my mitsu 7cm hosuing the wastegate actuator fit perfectly

Let me know how that fits/works with the wategate actuator

 

[whiteflash]

I will, fedex came today but I wasn't at my place to get it so I'll let you know tuesday when they come back. I was kinda worried the ebay turbine housing wouldn't fit because the actuator arm sticks out about an inch where as the OEM mitsu housing is flat. But I played with the actuator rod and it should fit just fine. I'll let you know as soon as i do.

I noticed you have an Injen intake which im pretty sure is set up for 14b/16g/t-25 size turbo inlet. The Greddy 18g has a 3'' inlet.

Yeah I'll take pics for sure

Just got the turbine housing, and the wastegate actuator hole will need to be open a bit. But other than that it seems to bolt up just fine..

Ok cool, waitin to see what it looks like. How are you going about opening the hole?

 

[whiteflash]

Ill probably open up the hole with a drill and drill bit.

Finally home from school, and decided to start on the car. Opening the wastegate actuator hole took five min, just get a drill bit and have at at. I also tested to make sure the actuator worked properly with an air compressor, and it worked great. Ill get pics of it when it's installed, hopefully this weekend
