What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

[king_of_HTX]

I don't know about a td03h but I know about tdo5h and tdo6h 20g's. And from what I have read and heard they are monsters @ around 30psi with supporting mods. The tdo6h 20G is the turbo that I will have with my current build.

 

[el guapo]

the tdo3h is off of a stealth or 3000 gt but theres to of them and the most ive herd of that twin setup making is @15 psi he must be mistaken about what kind of turbo he has the stock dsm is a tdo5.tdo5 to a 3 would be a down grade somethings not right there

 

[sheffester]

is there such thing as a tdo8h?

I don't think so. Twin turbo 3/Ss come stock with two TDO4 9b turbos.

First generation automatic DSMs came stock with a TDO4, housing the 13g. It is also possible to fit 13T, 15g, 16T, 17g, 18T, and 19T compressor wheels in the TDO4 housing.

But I've personally never heard of a TDO3. If the engine is modified, it shouldn't be too difficult to take a look at it for yourself.

i have found all kinds of answers to this ? but not the one i was looking for. so i will try poting and maybe ill get a beter idea. im planing on staying stock internals for atleast another year. for now im going to biuld my own turbo kit and run around 7-8 psi. i would like to no what turbo i should use for this. i can get a 50 trim from a friend real cheap but i was told it will take a long time to spool. what do you think, i already have a manifold with a t3/t3 flange so i was looking for a t3 turbo. i was looking at the 45 or 40 trim and the 16g from hahns is out dont want to spend that much. THANKS

Dude you just stated this in your other thread. Not to mention you just stated what turbo you want already. Just buy the 50 trim for cheap until you upgrade. You may not even want to rebuild.

OR, if you want to do your research specific to your set-up, look up the spool characteristics for all the turbos you are interested in, the make a choice. There are plenty of sheets out there for you to use and most of them give you efficiency ranges for the given psi. Better yet read up on Hahn's website; they have a 420a build process from stage I to V.

Please use the search function BTW. We can't spoon fee dyou info here if you're not willing to look it up beforehand. All of these questions have been asked before and are easily found.

sorry about the re post my f in computer died just as i posted the first time so i didnt think it worked

 

[ubpiped]

My brother just bought a garret tb2808 turbo assy with wastegate. And his car just got junked so he gave it to me brand new payed 999.00 for it. But not sure what type it is or if it will fit my 97 gst 4g63 engine any help ?

 

[ThingyNess]

It's a ball bearing T28 - it's an excellent turbo, but quite small for your car, and will require much more effort to get working on your car than it's worth. it will require custom intercooler piping, a custom manifold, and a custom downpipe. Unless you're able to make all of those yourself, it will easily cost you more than the $999 the turbo is worth.

You're much better off selling it to someone who can use it -- the 240sx guys love these for use in their SR20DET swaps, for example. Then, take the money and buy a Mitsubishi EVO3-16g, or a 50 trim, or any "bolt-on" Mitsubishi turbo instead. You will save yourself a ton of future heartache.

 

[VelocitàPaola]

I think this topic has been covered enough that you should be able to find your own answer...

 

[dacowgod]

Anybody know what this turbo is?? by the looks of it Its not a t25 (doesnt fire off the side) and not a 14b/16g because it doesnt fire off the top for a J-pipe to attach.. .. O and its definitely flanged for a dsm manifold... hrmmmm

That looks like one of the turbos off of a 3000gt.

 

[architechnik]

Any numbers or notations? What does that say on the side? Where did you find it? What does the compressor wheel look like - fin type (double or single)?

 

[dacowgod]

I am numberless and have no clue about the impeller blades as well ... If i had the #'s I could probably find something about it on the internet .. The only thing I know is a kid in town is selling it in the bulletin board and it was bolted on an eclipse ... Obviously i will want to see it and inspect it before i consider the purchase.. but It definitely doesnt strike me as any DSM turbo I have seen before.. looks rather small in the pic ... but so does my evo III 16g and well it definitely packs a good punch... anyways who knows what this is until I get some #'s from it but if you have any idea keep on posting them... Thanks

I was just wondering if someone could tell me if this is a 16g turbo setup. I have seen one out of a car but not installed. I researched pretty thouroughly and still am not confident enough to buy this with out a second opinion. I would rather not take it off and find out it is not an authentic 16g. Any help would be great

 

[rich3389]

can either be a 14b or a 16g, take off the inake and if the blades are all the same hight, then its a 14b, if they are tall ones and short ones, then its a 16g.

 

[snowborder714]

Or you can look at the serial number on the compressor housing. It's cut off in your third pic (on the very left side).

49178-01520 Small 16G
49178-01420 Big 16G
49178-01470 EVOIII 16G

 

[2gsxRuiz98]

right on, thats a huge help, i am on it. Thank you for the help

 

[snowborder714]

No problem

Ok looking for some help in figuring out what turbo this is as well as what you guys thing of other turbo related accessories.

First up, what turbo is this? It says "TURBOCHARGER" "TD05" than "KD070000969"

Sorry about the quality, I only own a cell phone with a camera.

If I could figure out what turbo that is, that would be awsome, but basicly it came off a car from a owner who had no idea what it was, and the "receipt" he has says (not even kidding) "Turbo upgraded: $1300" So I have no idea what turbo costs 1300 dollars , but I have a feeling this guy wasn't all too smart.


next bit of business, off the same car, is these headers. I am not sure how to tell in what shape they are, but there is only some discoloration and no rust from what I can see. Would you use them on your car or not?

Lastly, there is the intercooler. It is made by Godspeed, and from what I gathered, it is a Ebay item that some have some faith in. It appears to be in good shape aside from an EXTREME excess of gasket rtv all over the pipes, but I assume it means somebody tried to make sure there were no leaks.

If I could get some opinions and such, my last question is what gaskets do I need to buy and which ones can I reuse? I assume the gasket for the headers to block, the headers to turbo looks ok, than the gasket between o2 housing to DP needs to be redone.

Just give me your opinions on all that stuff and see if I can get this all on my car by tomorrow or so.

thanks in advanced

the turbo looks like a chinese knockoff of a 16G. Due to the large small combo compressor wheel. Chinese knockoff, taking it has "turbocharger" stamped on it. For $1300 I wouln't. I'd spend $100 tops on it just for kicks. A REAL EvoIII B16G can be had for $600 brand new. J-pipe $70. $1300 I'd get a 20G or a FP3052. Also FMIC's on ebay are great. I got huge 29X11X3 core from an Ebay company for $105 and made my own piping. If your not as skilled you can get a good muffler shop to weld up the pipes. Total shouldnt be more than $300. Replace all gaskets and turbo bolts. Make sure you put some Anti-sieze on em too. Its all just cheap insurance.

 

[Atuca]

Oh the price is free to me, they are sitting on my blacony right now, waiting to be cleaned up and put on my car. I just don't want to put a turbo on my car if I don't know what it is. Same with the headers, I don't know their past, so I feel kinda weary about throwing them on my car, having to replace all the gaskets again, and end up unhappy with the results.

If it is a knock of 16g, would you throw out your t-25 for it? And if I do that and header and FMIC and throw it all in my car, I would have to redo the boost leaks and reset my MBC, just sounds like alot of work, and hoping it will actually do something for me in the end.

Would a 16g and t25 both set at 16psi be the same power, or would the 16g have more power, or just more potential? I have a supra fuel pump either 190 or 255, not sure, but once I get that, some new 650 fuel injectors and a logger, I should be making power than, but all these plans gotta start with me figuring out these basic questions here.

Thanks for the help, any mroe opinions appreciated, even if the reply is as simple as "yup 16g knock off"

 

[numlock666]

Well if its free, DO IT!! . A buddy of mine has an eBay 16G and his car runs great. But to put the 16G vs T-25 into perspective. The T-25 is a Joke of a turbo on our cars. Some leaf blowers put out more air. Even though they are at the same pressure, what makes it diferent is efficientcy and flow. The t-25 will be at its max spinning to who knows what RPM, and the 16G will have to work less. What this means is less heat and more oxygen. The 16G flows 505cfm over the 270cfm IIRC of the T-25. Almost double the air. Before you hop on the boat of pumps and injectors, you need to get a way to control them first. ie. AFC, DSMLink. The main gaskets to replace are the Manifold to head gasket $20 for a 4layer copper from Road Race Engineering. And the Turbo to manifold gasket Also a 4layer metal flavor from RRE for $15. Any exhaust leaks after that is just noisy but doesn't effect perfomance.

 

[numlock666]

Also to add, to tell you how much of a difference a 16G makes, my perfectly working T-25 at 15lbs is still far slower that my almost dead 16G (it ate my o2 sensor wire, running open element with MAFT)

 

[Atuca]

ok well are there any opinions on the headers and FMIC? I guess at least one person thinks it is 16g, anyone else?
