What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

[4g63eagle]

Looks like an ebay 16g.

Yea i thought the real one said TDO5 or TDO5H not evo iii gt.

That is the EVOIII GT, I think it was produced by DSMParts.com

Hopefully someone else will chime in on it.

EDIT: EVO III GT Facts

hmm really that sounds pretty good to me he wants 30bucks for the turbo

Yea i thought the real one said TDO5 or TDO5H not evo iii gt. Glad i did not buy it



hmm really

Yeah its def not an MHI 16g thats for sure. The guy above might be right, im not familiar with the one DSMparts may have sold, i always just thought they sold the MHI ones like we do.

I believe all the parts are interchangeable with MHI parts, he will know for sure.

alright thank you all for the help! i almost told him no

Can anyone help me identify this 16g? I got it a while ago in a trade for a passenger door I had lying around. It has shaft play, in/out and side to side. Therefore, I know it needs rebuilt. I know it is not a real 16g. From my searches on here, I think it is one of the EVO III 16g's that turbochargers.com used to sell. Since those used real TDH05 parts I will have it rebuilt and use it. If it is an ebay one I will most likely wait till income tax time and buy a real, but used, 16g or 14b. If it can be rebuilt, is there anyone I can send it to? There are no shops locally that rebuild turbo's. It says EVO III GT on the housing and has a row of numbers S04120494 with another row under it 49178-01470. Thank you for any help.

That would be a junker 16g.. commonly called the "eBay 16g" or a variant thereof!

also look up jusmx141 on here for advice about having it rebuilt / replaced

 

[mm3boomer45]

I'm fairly sure that the air side of the housing reads TD05H, and I believe I've seen the ebay turbo's with the "EVO 3 GT" on them. No guarantee but that has been my experience so far. There is a guy on here who rebuilds turbos (JustinMX maybe?), also I know of a shop where we buy our rebuilt diesel turbos from, but that's here in Nebraska, however they will do every kind. But I'm thinking thats a knockoff anyways so I guess it doesn't matter to much.

that is a real Evo iii 16g turbo heres the link EVO III GT Facts

I have heard pretty good things about those turbos, knockoff evoIII, but perform well nonethelesss,

ebay turbos can be fine sometimes, iv gone over a year with my b16g and zero shaftplay

It is not a ebay turbo at all, It is a REAL 16g evo iii nothing like those crap ebay paperweight's.

Great find there. That is good information and it is as listed. I think the comparo would be the turbo you list -that is the one in the OP -and a 16g MHI turbo from Mitsubishi. Right church, wrong pew. Tres.

 

[Sam@RRE]

Its a knock off that some claim/proven to work well. Authentic Evo3 Turbos are called evoIII because they come off the Lancer Evolution III, you wont find one of those "EVO3 GT" on a stock EvoIII. For the cost of those things, I wouldn't even rebuild it, just buy a new one. A rebuild is going to cost you 200~350 bucks, those ebay turbos are about 200~350 bucks. Just buy a new one.

Just wanted to set the facts strait for 4g63eagle. The OEM mitsu will say TDO5H on it, and on the part number casted into it, where there is a blank spot, if 470 is engraved into it, then its and E316G

Like, I've got a TDO5H 49178-01450 in my car.. Now, what's the difference between the EVO-I to III B16G turbos?

 

[ryan lemley]

4g63 eagle, thanks again for the link it was very helpful. It seems to be the one that I have. At this point it seems to be worth rebuilding. Can it be rebuilt with a TDH05 kit?

 

[JusMX141]

^ ^

Evo III GT, once built and distributed by GT Concepts through Turbochargers.com. This turbo is no longer in production. These turbos were built of Taiwan parts, the same as the FP 6SL2 turbos of late.

Early Evo III GT's had trouble with turbine breakage which seemed to be remedied in the later models that were assembled in the U.S.

The Evo III GT's use the same parts as a MHI Evo III 16G.

if its stock and 5 speed its a 14b if its a auto 13b

 

[bmx77802]

hey question for someone out there, im not sure what kind of turbo this is, i was told it was a big 16g, but it looks too damn small to be one.

i pulled the numbers off of it and they are;

TD05H
4917801-291704

 

[DSM1G90]

Almost sounds like it came from an Neon SRT-4 "Skittle" . which way does the wheel turn: clockwise or counter-clockwise?

 

[bmx77802]

the fins are curved to the right.

 

[DSM1G90]

K, it spins clockwise. Have you done a google search?

Sorry, the SRT-4 turbo is the TD04-L-16GK .. same turbo for the WRX-STi

 

[bmx77802]

yeah nothing comes up. it pulls like hell at about 5k, which ive read that the big 16g has a hard top end pull to it. but the thing is puiny, if this thing is a 16g, i think it may be a retarted dwarf version of the 16g family.

i just looked at it again and i forgot a number in the serial number

its
4917801-L291704 i forgot the L previously

 

[caseyk]

Hey, i'm thinking of buying this turbo. It has the dsm hotside to bolt straight up.
The owner of it has no clue what turbo it is.
Is there any chance that anybody knows what this is?
