What kind of turbo is this?

[Lofty]

My dad talks about my car a lot at work.
Well apparently his boss felt generous, he gave me this in a box and said you might like this.
What is it?

It's mitsu for sure.

13g from auto 1g turbo's or 3000 gt vr4's

 

[fwdmaster]

Equivalent to the automatic 13g

Not a bad find for free.

It appears to have a T3-flanged turbine inlet and a nice v-band outlet. You'd need a manifold that is set up with a T3 flange and an external wastegate to make this work, however. Powerwise it would be on-par with the T25 you were going to buy for $30, but this would be a much bigger pain to install.

 

[Lofty]

Wow, thanks guys.
How much are these worth? Because this was free!
No miles on it, .
I'm writing the man a letter.


oh......
Well now that I have the bad news, I'm kinda unhappy.

...its still a PITA to install a turbo on a N/A car so id try to get that thing to work. its unique and until you get your internals capable of running in the double digits with boost i think that 13g would be perfect. nice catch and hopefully i see that thing in your engine bay soon...

 

[JusMX141]

Free turbo + T3 manifold set up for external gate + external gate = $200 or more just to run 8psi.

$30 T25 + 2G manifold and o2 housing = $80.

See the difference?

 

[Lofty]

Maybe this 13g will get me some cashola then
How much is it worth with like 0 miles on it?

I would list it on eBay. Honda guys have huge erections for T25's and 13G's....the fact that this turbo is different from a regular 13G may make it worth some money. If you could get $150 or more out of it you could use that toward turboing your car!

Gonna be listed as "Rare" 13G Mitsubishi turbo.

 

[z24frank]

If its brand new you can for sure get at least a hundred out of it!

 

[tsiAWD91x]

WTF you guys are insane???!!!! he could get rid of that if its brand new, and unused for AT LEAST 150$ i got rid of mine for 100$ and that was with 76k on it...throw it on the tuners classifieds with pics and throw it on ebay with a reserve. youll be set kid.

 

[z24frank]

Id say you would have better luck on e bay with the honda guys!

The 3000GT guys buy 13G's as well. They are usually willing to pay more than they are worth to us.

Lofty - Post up some pictures of the turbine inlet and the CHRA as well.

jusmx141 - What application would have used a 13G with a T3 inlet, v-band outlet, and no internal wastegate? I've owned 13G's before, but never one that looked like this one.

 

[Turb07]

First off the turbocharger is used!
but if it is free then i would take it!
But most of those turbochargers have the T2 style flanges but can not tell by those pictures!

just my $.02

It's possible that it's not a true 13G....I've never seen a 13G with (7) compressor major blades. I was simply using 13G as a size comparison as the turbo indeed a TD04.

It's probably off of some small diesel truck....one of those little 4-cylinder Mitsubishi diesels or something similar. I can't imagine what other application would need a smallish turbo with an exhaust housing that can handle a high volume of air like the one shown. Normally you'll see bigger exhaust housings mated to smallish compressor housings on diesels where the engine has a large displacement and very high compression ratio.

I tried to Google the part number and came up with nothing.

Thanks everyone for attempting to figure this out,
Here's the pictures as requested.

This is the most I could find with google.....
Midland Turbo

Apparantly it's volks?

 

[JusMX141]

It's not the same part number as the one on Midland's site.

I still say it fits some small diesel truck application. There were even 4-cylinder Mitsubishi turbo diesels used in Ford Ranger pickups in the mid-'80s, so who knows!

That's the thing though, I'm almost positive this came off a machine.
