T25 vs Xspower TD05h? Whitch to prefer?

[Chris_Sag]

Hi. Doing a engine swap in my eclipse 2g after crank walk in my old. My old 7bolt was stock with a T25. The new engine has a xspower TD05H. whitch turbo is to prefer?

If the TD05H is to prefer it has a upper outlet so it does not fit to my intercooling piping, so where could i get pipes to the intercooler (SMIC) so it will fit?

TD05h? Is that from a evo or what?

I hope you can help me here, i need the car on the road fast..

well if its a big 16g td05 then its from an evo 3, as for the xpower, idk what that means .. it could have a different inducer or exducer, id call with the serial number. i love my 16g great mid range power, anythings better than a t25

Just from thr fact that you may not even have a genuine MHI turbo (since it's XSPower) I'd say run it until it blows but get a real 16g soon.

Here is a link to what XS Power sells for a "16g"

DSM 1g, 2g EVO 4G63 SUPER BIG 16G EVO III TURBO KIT Mitsubishi Turbo Kits, XS Power Inc.

^ That whole kit costs $560...that sounds a bit too cheap to be genuine...

XSpower is the brand. It's china junk.
td05 refers to the size of the turbine wheel. That's the same wheel that the 16g and 14b turbos use.

If I were you, I'd ditch both turbos and buy a 14b, or spend a bit more and get a MHI 16g.

XS Power = China.

The T25 may be more reliable unless it has play or has a ton of miles on it. I wouldn't trust the XS Power 16G as far as I could throw it.

 

[jjrock5]

I can throw those things pretty far.

Pic of the xs power.. But where could i get new pipes to my intercooler.?

And a pic of the old t25 so you can see the differens by the outlet..

MHI 14b.

 

[Chris_Sag]

Is the xs power on the picture as big as a 16g?

MHI 14b.

What do you mean? Is the XS a 14b? Or should i get a MHI? I have to go for one of the two turbos. The t25 or the Xs td05h? So whats it gonna be people?
Dont have money for a new one and the car is in the workshop as we speak so it cant wait.

The xspower turbo is a knock-off of an MHI 16g turbo. I wouldn't even bother with it. If you can't afford another turbo then go with the t-25 for now (unless it has a lot of shaftplay). And to answer your question; you need a j pipe if you wish to install the "16g". This is required for any MHI turbo install on a 2g such as a 14b or 16g.

Thanx a lot man! That was what im looking for..

T25 has about 120000miles and the Xs only a couple of k..

If i go for a 16g can i run with the stock Smic until i save up money for a Fmic?

This turbo is shit I put one in my buddies Talon and hadnt put 500 miles on it and the oil housing inside the turbo cracked I would stick with the t25 unless you have money to buy the real e316g or a 14b. You need a j pipe for both of those though>

I've seen a couple friend have ebay turbos that are still working good over a year later and other that lasted only a couple of months. Seems like it is real hit and miss. If on a budget look for a 14b they can be had for around 100 and I got my mhi big 16g for 150 and that was with a brand new j-pipe so good deals can be found just have to keep a eye out.

That turbo will not last long, but almost anything will flow more than a t-25

A 16g will be fine with a side mount. You can get a 1st gen side mount, and have the inlet and outlets cut and weld on the 2.25'' inlet and outlet from your 2g. You will have to find someone that can weld alluminum. The 1g cools better

 

[mazda-man]

Thats for sure there's not a whole lot out there that is worse flowing the the stock t25.

 

[4g63oncrack]

true that but i mean if your getting a good deal on this then u got nothing to loose dude i say try it and see what happens this things are just china junk like my man said but its a 50/50 you know you never really knw what happens untill you find out for your self.

 

[Chris_Sag]

I got it for free, but if it blows it could damage more than just the turbo?

 

[TSIMonsteR]

It could contaminate the oil, depending on where the carnage occurs.
