Questions for Justin...

[LandSpeed-DSM]

Massflow started to pick up faster after 31-32psi on that Borg turbo in the T4 housing, redline was 9250.

~50lbs/min @ 28-29psi

65-67lbs/min @ 37-38psi

The ambient temperature made a big difference in my mass numbers as I started to reach the edge of the map. 14B was the same way.

I sold mine for 150$ with the tb, sensors, elbow.

75 shipped for just the manifold is a fair price.
The 1g tb or E3 is what you will want..1g being easier to find.Since these came from the jdm galant /evo 1/2 motor or the usdm = the 1g turbo motors.

It being this summer when I sold it..I'm pretty sure the jdm tb was 1 or two nipples, not 4 like 1g, and 3 like 2g.

Ok cool thanks man. Its supposed to be an evo3 and he said 2 nipples.

 

[Bud92gsx]

The 1g and evo 3 tb's are 60 mm.

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

The 1g and evo 3 tb's are 60 mm.

This is the throttle body. Deff not a 2g . Much diff looking.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Remember when identifying jdm stuff..We have emisions here..I dont think theres were as strict as ours..hence the difference in jdm vs usdm tb's

 

[Bud92gsx]

Quick question.

75$
Has a evo3 tb to.prob get both for 85-90$

This TB should be on there.

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

This TB should be on there.

Idc about emissions. Doesn't matter here. But he just got home and said it has one nipple so guess it is what you just posted .

Think he was gonna try and cheat me. Said this: just paypal never sent my card n was scared someone ay have lost it ....i said nah pp is fine ill cover fees

There is a log in the holset results thread.

Justin, I wanted to see what your thoughts were on making my hx35 into a hx35/40 hybrid by using one of the billet wheel options, something like the 56/86 (holset oem) combo or a batmowheel etc... I know I can't reach the max flow of those compressor wheels with a bolt on dsm housing but could I gain some mid range efficiency? Better spool?

 

[serviceguy]

Not a Evo 3 TB, that looks like a 1990 DSM turbo TB. The Evo 3 does not require the TB elbow and has the provision for the UICP directly, same as the 1g N/T minus a couple of nipples.

 

[Bud92gsx]

I see that theres a hahn super 16g with 10cm turbine housing in the classifieds..How badass is the "super 16g" . And what would the pros and cons be on a 10 cm turbine housing..Besides potential lag?

I think you'd be wasting your time putting a $400 compressor wheel on a turbo that is already known to have a restrictive turbine housing/wheel. It may be more efficient in midrange boost levels, but it's also going to reach the limit of the turbine wheel and housing quicker.

If anything I think it would be better to use a 7-blade HX35 compressor on a HX40 turbine in the bolt-on housing. We already know the bolt-on HX40 to be a 4200-4300 spooler on many applications....how much quicker would it spool with a 54/78mm wheel instead of a 60/86?

Hey, I have to put an ebay16g on my car while I get my 14b rebuilt. Anyone ever run these without coolant lines successfully?

 

[JusMX141]

Yup, local guy's been running one I rebuilt and installed on his 2G for over three years now....zero coolant going to the turbo. Filter housing feed, .075" restrictor; boost is 22-25psi.

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

What filter did you use and is. 075" same as 1.5mm?

 

[JusMX141]

Filter? I have no idea what oil filter he used.

1.5mm = .059"

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

Oh ha! I read filter housing feed as you used an inline filter .

Does it really need a restrictor coming from the ofh?

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

But i was just worried though because i got this thing for gas money for taking parts to a friend. This was his second. His first lasted an hour. He said something went wrong with the bearings and it started screaming. Idk never seen the turbo. Just he said the coolant line had a block in it and he didn't see it.

 

[H@xtGSX]

An hour? And you want to run the same thing?

...you wouldn't happen to play poker too, would ya?

If you have to have the car while the turbo is being rebuilt, turn the boost down as far as you possibly can while the junker is on there. Don't tempt fate and push on it any.

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

No its a different turbo. He bought another after that. And another after this one. He said he put about 5miles on this one but he was bad blowby so I advised him to rebuild the engine.

Last one he bought was a "EIIIB16g ported" from boostbrothers.com er something. Paid about 300$ for that.

Car is my dd so it can't stay off the road long.

 

[JusMX141]

Does it really need a restrictor coming from the ofh?

I would. Our filter housings are extremely unpredictable in amounts of actual pressure, but it's normally about twice as much pressure as a factory MHI turbo wants to see.

Last one he bought was a "EIIIB16g ported" from boostbrothers.com er something. Paid about 300$ for that.

Don't remember how or where I ended up with this core, but this is the exact turbo that is on his car. It came with no wheel damage but the threads were pulled out of the j-pipe flange so I swapped an "Evo III GT" cover on, rebuilt it, and bolted it on the car. Can't see it in the pics but the compressor nut had balance grinds so somewhere along the line this unit was VSR-balanced.

Thats a beautiful lookin" 16g justin. How do you make them so clean? I ran through a puddle and now my hx40 chra and bep housing ( which is stainless) now has rust on it, surface rust. Bu it looks like ass now ;(

 

[JusMX141]

How do you make them so clean?

"Proper" rebuild....you get what you pay for. You think the outside is clean, you should see the inside.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Pm me the secrets!!!!!

Went out to my car today because I was going to swap the coil pack out to try and get an ignition issue resolved. When I noticed this:

Question is. How likely is it that the turbine wheel hit the housing? I didn't hear any noise and I have no idea how long the V-band clamp has been gone. Could be as long as 3k miles.
