Questions for Justin...

[JusMX141]

What size turbine wheel is this? Its an 11 blade with a 35r compressor. Cant really get the accurate measurement since its not the usual 12 blade

T31. If it's truly mated to a 35R compressor wheel, that's a poor match depending what size turbine housing it uses.

1/8" referes to the ID of the threaded portion, this system is known as pipe thread. So a 1/8" NPT x 3/16" nipple would be perfect for you're setup. Silicone hoses are the bees knees

Thank you bro! That helps a lot. You always end up being the one that helps me out haha. I was still wrong even after looking up Justin's old threads where I got that FP manifold picture. I'll find a 3/16 nipple then, I was just a little off with that 1/16 one.

I also have a quick question. I just bought a used s16g from a guy on here with 3400 miles on it. There is some side to side shaft play but it's not hitting the housing. Is this normal?

 

[AngelOfPassion]

If it has been drained completely of it's oil a little play is normal. My 16G that is brand new, never used has a little play due to not having any oil.

Once you've got it on there and running check it again to make sure it feels good. A little side to side play is fine just not in and out play from what I have learned.

There's an acceptable amount, then there's "abnormal". Compare your results to what I outlined years ago:

Its a garrett 61mm in 82mm ex.

Was told it was a stage 3 turbine wheel. Dont know what stage 3 means but turbine housing is .63ar

Could you guess the comp wheel for this? Its a divided housing btw. Twin scroll

Wow, yeah that thing would need at least a .82 housing to move any kind of airflow at a boost level to make a 35R compressor worth having....and even then it really needs a T350 (Stage 5) turbine to support a compressor that large.

Think of it this way- the GT35R turbine wheel is almost identical in spec to the T350 turbine, and the 35R *normally* comes paired to a .82 T3 housing. Your turbine housing a/r is one spec smaller, and your turbine wheel is two specs smaller than what's considered "standard" for a 35R. What you have here is almost like putting a 60-1 compressor on a TD05H turbine. Huge turbine bottleneck, lots of turbine backpressure unless you're running a very low boost level.

Specs or even a brand would be nice....I'm not a freakin' magician.

Any idea what brand these wheels are, and if they'll fit my car?

Looks like a Honda 5x114, 17x8, with 45mm offset.

Its a garret turbo. If can't see it does say a/r 1.52 amongst the rust. Sorry I didn't measure while i was there.

Had a quick question regarding the stock 2g feedline restrictor:

(btw, thanks for the pic Justin

I'm trying to assemble a feedline and was wondering if I could just leave the restrictor in place and re-use it? If not, it looks like it's threaded into the ofh, how do you remove it?

With a socket wrench ir crescent wrench .

Ah ok, I'm just going off of this pic ...havn't actually gone under to inspect things yet. So you take that big rusty nut off and the restrictor should come out?

Do you know if I can just leave it in and re-use it?

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

That big nut is the restrictor. Its all one piece. You can re-use it and be fine. I got a ss feed line for my 14b but it threaded to the ofh so it was too big for the restrictor. So I removed it. If your feed line fits the restrictor or you can get an adapter to fit it to it deff do so.

I know for sure without it you'll be pushing too much oil pressure for an mhi turbo. At peak 50 psi is the most they should see really. I'll be getting an adapter and reusing my stock one asap or getting one for the turbo side.

'04 Acura TSX, 17x7, +55mm offset, 5x114.3mm (5x4.5") bolt pattern, 64.1mm centerbore, you can tell just looking at it that's a 64.1mm centerbore, c'mon

You could, sure. Any 1/4" tube to 4AN adapter would thread right in, allowing you to connect a 4AN feed line.

If not, it looks like it's threaded into the ofh, how do you remove it?

A wrench or socket....not sure of the size.

I used brake line to make a feed line when my stock one. Just take the stock line in to any place that makes brake lines and tell them to make a line with those fittings. You just have to measure the length you want for them.

 

[c2ypt1c]

Awesome, thanks guys

You don't even have to go that far- go to a parts store, pick up a piece of straight 1/4" tubing in the appropriate length and bend it yourself. Of course this will only work on turbos that accept 1/4" tube at the oil inlet.

Its what i did. I got a straight brake line with proper fittings at the length i needed and bent it myself. I only did the second half though. It broke at the bracket piece that bolts to the block.

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

Oh and if you no guesses on that turbo I posted i'll go ahead and post the compressor wheel. Hint: its smaller than the turbine.
