Hey everyone, its been a long time since I have been active on the boards, not to worry though I've got some new bits I'm trying and it looks good so far.
Here's the rub, I've run an 18G for a long time and I like it, but the Garrett t04E wheels are quick and efficient. But they don't bolt to a mitsu anything. I expect this has been tried before, but here's photos of building a 54 trim td05H. I've built a new engine, parked the supercharger for now, and gone to a water to air charge cooler. ( look for it in another thread) So first everyone has seen a MHi 05 series CHRA (photo 1). Setting in the middle of the modified housing is a 14B wheel for size comparison. Photo 2 is of the 2 wheels sitting next to each other. Photo 3 is the modified compressor housing, and photo 4 is the assembled unit. The big wheel in the photo 2 is damaged, I won't be actually using that. I've run it for 600 miles and while the engine is still new I'm stretching its legs @ 12psi now and it feels nice. 3K spool, and should flow ~46 lbs/min. The small housiing will hurt the very top end a little, but some decent spool always has a price.
Speaking of price, I laughed my way through the thred on the ebay/china 16G stuff, here's the actual costs so far for this conversion. $60 for the 54 trim wheel. $0 for the old TD05H, everyone had one of these once. $ 65 for the rebuild kit, $50 for the balance job. $??? for the hand fit of the 54 trim wheel in the compressor hosing. I spent 2 evenings at the machine shop hand fitting that wheel in the housing, so if my time is worth anything, ~$200 should cover it. Totaling that all up, $425.00 out the door puts this in reach of many people looking for max bang for your turbo dollar.
Comments welcome
