What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

[JusMX141]

if u could tell me what the housing is from id be really impressed.

I've been doing research and I can't really pinpoint it.

That appears to be a .63 a/r housing, which is pretty big for a stock gasoline application....but that wastegate hole is HUGE for a diesel, so I'm lost.

Chrysler uses a lot of strange inlet and outlet flanges....it's possible that the turbo was made as a direct-fit upgrade to a Chrysler 2.2 or 2.5 or something along those lines.

Most of my vehicle-specific rebuilds are on DSM turbos, so I don't have as much experience identifying strange flanges. Maybe if you sent the photos to someone like G-Pop Shop they would be able to give you a better answer because they deal with a wide variety of vehicle-specific turbos on a daily basis.

where could i buy a different housing for this that would be more common

You can buy them from a Garrett dealer / distributor or another company like Precision or Turbonetics. I think the only two I have at the shop are a .63 5-bolt and a .82 4-bolt; that .82 housing is made for some serious flow and would be overkill unless you were running 30+psi.

 

[BoostedTT91]

its a .82 housing, that i do know

 

[JusMX141]

Do you have any idea what size the compressor wheel is in that turbo by chance?

I think you'd be better off with something like a .63 housing for anything being driven on the street unless the compressor is huge (60-1, etc). The .82 housing will make the turbo laggy and less-responsive with no additional flow benefit unless you're running a shit-ton of boost.

 

[BoostedTT91]

im pretty sure its a 60-1 but not 100% sure on that. Im running like 25-27psi. How can i check for sure what the size is

 

[JusMX141]

You can't without removing the compressor cover and measuring the wheel...but if you post pics of the compressor wheel I can give it a shot.

A 60-1 has (7) major blades while all of the other T04E compressors have (6); if that helps.

 

[BoostedTT91]

here is a pic i had from before. its alittle hard to see but i think there is 7 blades

^^ this pictures help at all?

 

[JusMX141]

60-1 compressor for sure.

It's up to you- the .63 would offer a little quicker spool than what you're used to and should support plenty of airflow for 25-28psi....a .82 housing would be an exact replacement. New they sell for $250-$300, I do have a couple clean, crack-free used ones here- PM me if you're interested.

14b or 13b?

 

[supravw]

That's a 13g turbo off the 1g autos.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

It's a 13g

 

[motorswapman]

yea thats a 13g

 

[turbo_dsm]

thanks

 

[eclipsemf]

i just go this turbo from one of my friends for real cheap although i do not know what size it is i think its either a 17c or 20g not sure. i no it need an accuator and and oil feed but does it look like a need any thing else and finaly will a stock 4g63t with stock internals be fine to run this at 11psi. and information is greatly appreciated thanks.

here are the pictures of the turbo

google tells me its a 17c , found the info here My new Turbos. Identify them! Win a cookie! - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

The 17c is the stock turbo on the Syclone/Typhoon. The turbine wheel is a TD06, if it's straight off a SY/TY it wont bolt on, but you can just use a mitsu-style housing machined for a TD06 wheel. They aren't much different than a 16g, spool is a later as well.

 

[JusMX141]

17C for sure.

Sell that turbo to a Syclone / Typhoon guy and buy something you can bolt on your car.

 

[eclipsemf]

thanks for the information guys. if any one wants to trade for this or buy it send me a message im looking for a big 16g turbo thanks

 

[talon1616]

it looks like a 20g. I may not be right.Kinda new to turbo and stuff but i looked it up. thats what it looks like. would be easier if i had it in hand to tell what it is. hope i helped.

Actually i see now. i was wrong. sorry. i found it on a better site

 

[nuclearr]

I know these threads get old. A customer brought me this car I have to put back together (actually have to take two cars and make one good one).

But I need to know what turbo this is. I believe it is a Chinese knock off but am unsure. I was told it was a 20g I however do not believe this it has no coolant passages. But it bolts to a 2g manifold.

 

[killer_eclipse]

looks like an ebay t04b

 

[gsxkid81]

looks like the comp wheel fins are damaged.its not a mhi 20g.i dont think they have a square casted into the comp housing

 

[nuclearr]

Yeah I know its toast I am trying to identify it. The compressor housing looks identical to ebay t3/t4's.

The turbine side bolts up to a dsm 02 housing and manifold.


After some more looking at the turbo I found the center housing has the garret "A"

 

[96_charcoal_tsi]

Looks alot like a slowboy racing 50 trim. I had one and that is what the compessor cover looked like.

 

[nuclearr]

ok so I have some more info. On the inside of the compressor housing it has some engraved lettering. "-IF 60T" Or it could be "-A 60T" or " 17 60T"

The f is backwards. If it is an a it is squared off and the I or 1 is not attached to the 7 or F.

Here is a pic sorry its not better.

Edit it appears to be -17 because the compressor wheel has -017 on the back side. Now I need to know where I can get the parts to rebuild it.

 

[JusMX141]

SBR (Kinetic) G60 with a completely junked compressor wheel.

Don't waste your time rebuilding if it needs a wheel....these turbos are built with non-Genuine parts, and you can buy a new one for a shade over $600. I just had to inform a poor customer that his G60's turbine shaft twisted after just 137 miles of use- good job on the quality, SBR.
