Turbo TD05H 1G

[crazyboy81]

Is it a good turbo for $75? A good turbo to start with on a 420A? I'm asking the guy which version it is. The ad says it ran perfect before taking it off.

TD05H doesn't tell us very much, what compressor?

It could be either a 14b or 16g turbo. The only problem with that is it's gonna take a lot of modification to be able to bolt that onto your car since it is a 420a NT. I don't have a lot of experience with 420a engines so hopefully someone else can chime in, but I would think it wouldnt be worth it since you would pretty much have to fab up your own custom kit to make it work(turbo manifold, 02 housing, fuel mods, exhaust, tuning device etc)

There are some aftermarket 420a turbo kits but that all depends on your budget

Serial numbers on the side of the turbo are:
14B
49178-01010
49178-01030
49178-01400
49178-01410

Small 16G
49178-01520
49178-05200

Big 16G
49178-01420

Evo I Big 16G
49178-01450

Evo II Big 16G
49178-01460

Evo III Big 16G
49178-01470

There's TONS of aftermarket turbo stuff for the 420A.
And it could be a LOT more than just a 14B or 16G, you'll need to actually get pictures up if the serial numbers don't match up with what's been posted.

Used 14B's sell for $75 everyday.

DSM bolt-on turbos generally do not fit 420A applications, so be prepared for a project full of fitment issues.

Um, what's wrong with a T3 log manifold... I know some guy somewhere was selling one. And its from a 1G eclipse turbo, so I think 14b right.

A T3 Log manifold is flanged for a full Garrett turbo with a you guessed it, T3 flange.

Also, if its on a 1g...and you have a n/t 2g...unless you have the European N/T with the nice 4g63 NT in there...its not going to work.

I always thought you can use any turbo as long as the manifold matches.... for example T3/T4? I know theres other types.

You're purchasing a Mitsu turbo so you'll need a mitsu manifold. Check out FP's.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with them- however they won't fit any turbo that was ever intended to be a direct bolt-on for a DSM....unless you've come up with some way to make a square peg fit into a round hole.

Correct....but a TD05H from a DSM cannot fit a T3 manifold without the use of an adapter flange.

I've always felt the Evo VIII/IX 16G would be a great turbo for a 420A if you had the ability to cut the head flange off an Evo VIII manifold and weld a 420A head flange in it's place. The turbo is facing the correct direction (inlet toward the driver's side) and places the exhaust outlet out of the way as well.
