small 16g with 14b hot side

[FatalDreams]

I have a small 16g thats been ported and clipped. The turbo was free, and in over all good shape. My problem is that the hot side is cracked very bad,but i have a 14b hot side in perfect shape. Will the hot side work with the 16g? Power is not in question, just if parts will work correctly. Thanks for your time.

Yes you can, but the 7cm^2 housing on the 16g you have is better and allow it to flow more in the top end, when compared to the 6cm^2 of the 14b. So, this hotside you are going to put on will "restrict the turbo" from flowing to what it could originally, but give you a little bit better spool.

Cracking happens with mits. turbos.I would port you 14 and make it work,you can always go back if it does not work.

do you have any pics of the cracks in the turbine housing?

Works fine, I am currently running the 14b housing on a B16G.

I have had good luck with mine. Ported 14b exhaust housing with big 16g chra.

The 6cm probably chokes the 16g pretty good. I put my 7cm housing on my 14b and it helped out topend quite a bit

The Small 16G inside an unported 6cm2 14B turbine housing is a GREAT setup for someone who doesn't plan on running very high boost or someone with an Auto who doesn't want lag but would like a little more airflow than what a 13G/14B can provide.

With the 6cm2 housing in place on the Small 16G, the turbo will spool as quickly as a 14B but outpull a 14B on top end. The 6cm2 housing will bolt directly to an unported 1G or 2G manifold with the sealing ring in place, and the only time you'll really run into a flow issue is when you try to push the turbo past 18psi or so. By this I mean it will not allow the compressor to perform up to it's 36-38lb/min potential...it's not like you'll hit a brick wall when you reach 18psi.

Only problem I would see is, the Shape that 90% of the 6cm2 14B turbine housings are in...
