Actually, they're both factory MHI turbos. Just not factory DSM turbos. The red one is from a Subie. The top one is what hahn sells in their 420 turbo kits. The compressor cover is clockable, so I'm not sure where you get "45* firing". 'Downfiring' is just a term that I use to describe a clockable compressor cover that can be aimed downward (IE: no j-pipe).

Regardless, my point was that it's entirely possible to have an MHI 16g that doesn't use a j-pipe type compressor cover.

Just sold that Garrett (40r) for $550 shipped! It could have been yours. I've since replaced it with two larger Holsets.

You're missing three numbers from the second half of the part number you posted.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Well it has to be a 14b, 16b, or hybrid. It does have tdo5 on it so that usually means an MHI turbo.

But I can't see the serail numbers, and you did miss some numbers. And I cannot also see the compressor wheel.

The Turbonetics 60-1 is now deceased as well....been replaced with a HX40 on your old compound setup.

 

[John DeCampli]

couldnt see 2 numbers of it but it seems to have 6 fins in it

 

[JusMX141]

From the sound of it, you're looking at a Small 16G. It's the only turbo with a part number like you've described which actually ends with two zeros.

49178-05200.

 

[Bud92gsx]

01520 and
05200.

So my guess would be 5200, like said small 16g.

So I heard. Jordan sent me some pics of the updated setup.

Now that I think about it, I don't own any of the turbos in the pic anymore. I've thinned my collection down to the 20G and two big Holsets.

 

[John DeCampli]

thank you that's what i though this was at my girlfriends uncles junk yard on a talon with 32000 miles so i was just seeing if it would be worth buying buying

 

[avengerKid]

Hellow fellow tuners i would like your input on this turbo i purchased. I have looked online for a turbo just like this an havent had any luck so figured i'd try here. I purchased it used from a fellow tuner as a bolt on 50 trim. i would like to know the specs about this turbo if any of you know any information about it i would appreciate it. thank you. Pics of the turbo are bellow.

 

[JusMX141]

That's not a T04E50-trim compressor wheel, and it appears to be a PTE ball bearing center housing although I've never seen a Garrett center housing mount using a v-band like that.

Definitely some off-the-wall creation. Can't tell you any more about it without wheel specs.

 

[avengerKid]

How would I be able to get the wheel specs? Would I have to measure the inlet an outlet an the measure the exhaust wheel? Thank you for the help. I am really stumped avout this turbo.

 

[JBDdsmer610]

I picked this turbo up from my buddy for 50 bucks. I kno when he got the car this turbo was on it, and it was purchaced from a shop in maryland. Im just tryin to get this thing identified so i can get it rebuilt. The seals are gone and has some minimal side to side shaft play, and no in and out.

Something is telling me its a Bullseye, but I may be wrong and probably am.

Im going to guess its a to4b 50 trim.

 

[JusMX141]

Bullseye M-Trim; roughly the same potential as a 16G with a bit more lag.

I stock repair parts for this unit.

 

[JBDdsmer610]

I was thinking a bullseye too my buddy told me that he thought it was a .48 or .57 trim, but i don't know. There is a B stamped into the center section, and also 1296 is stamped in the compressor housing right by the outlet. Also has an SS exhaust housing.

 

[JusMX141]

It's definitely a Bullseye turbo- has their own turbine housing and compressor cover.

I'm willing to bet if you remove the turbine housing you'll find an "O" trim turbine (2.922"/2.296"), and I can't remember off the top of my head what their compressor spec is on that turbo but it's close to being the same size as a Big 16G.

 

[JBDdsmer610]

Hey JusMX141 shoot me a pm on a full rebuilt kit for this turbo, and what is the actual Trim?

 

[RG4L]

can anyone help me on what kind of turbo trim this is, and if I need an oil restricter? The front blade of the turbo measures 2.4inches and the hot side fan measures 2.6inches. Its a T4E-60-stage 5-.58 A/R Turbonetics

 

[JusMX141]

Sounds like you answered your own question- T04E60, Stage 5 (T352) turbine.

 

[RG4L]

do i need the oil restricter to b able to use it tho ?

 

[JusMX141]

Not if your oil pressure doesn't exceed 70psi or so and and the drain is ample enough to drain the cartridge effectively.

 

[RG4L]

ohh ok thanks man
