What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

[JusMX141]

Seven years of turbo rebuilding has given me the ability to identify compressor wheels and housings fairly easily.

 

[hypergenesis]

ah Very nice and using what someone posted about the compressor housing to determine whether its a big or small 16g.

It reads 520 as the compressor number
49178-01520

 

[JusMX141]

Well that one reads 05200, but that's CLEARLY not the same turbine housing that was on the turbo in the first series of pics you posted. In this newest series of pics it shows a standard 7cm turbine housing...making this an off-the-shelf Small 16G.

Hey guys, to start off I know theres many threads on how to distinguish tdo5 turbos from eachother and I have read quite a few of them, but haven't found the info I'm looking for. I have a turbo that looks to be a legit mhi tdo5. My problem is I was told the turbo is a legit evo 3 16g, but I went to look at the part number but the two numbers that distinguish what turbo it is seem to be worn off. It has the numbers that are cast into the compressor housing, but not the other two (it says 49178-1_ _ 0). I know kind of confusing but I'm sure some of you on here will know what I'm talking about. I'll try to get to the car today and post a picture to clear things up. I'm just wondering if theres any other way to tell what this turbo is. I know the exhaust housing is different on the evo 3's but not sure what to look for. Sorry for the long post, I hope one of you guys could help and would appreciate it much. Thanks guys.

(it says 49178-01_ _ 0).

You're missing the two key numbers there where the spaces are.

We already have a Turbo Identification thread- I'll move this there.

 

[94talontd]

Alright sorry about that, I'm still kinda new to forums. Also I know I'm missing the two key numbers that's why I'm confused. How could the numbers be missing? Is this common?It doesnt look like its been filed down or messed with, it just looks blank.

 

[04bls84]

If the numbers are missing they are probably missing for a reason. Maybe the person who put the thing on filed them off so future reference would not be possible.

 

[JusMX141]

They're probably there, just hard to read...look at some of the other examples within this thread.

Hoping someone can identify this turbo. Can't beat the price.

Turbocharger Reduced

Thanks

 

[JusMX141]

Smaller than anything you'd ever want or need. Plus I'd never install it without rebuilding it first in that physical condition.

 

[Bud92gsx]

What turbo is that Justin?

It does look small but it does say Mits on it..

 

[JusMX141]

Almost looks like a stock Starion / Conquest turbo or something whch would have been a TD05 12A, but I have no clue.

Thanks guys. Guess that's why it was so cheap. What caught my attention was the double fins, thought they came on 16G.

Alright, this is going to seem completely stupid - Trust me. It will.

I went to check out a GST with my friend last night. Supposedly had a lot done to it. What we find is a 2G, loping away, lowered to the ground, and needs a little attention. One of the big attractions, besides it being cammed, was that it was supposedly equipped with an E16G. I popped the hood and this is what I saw.

I initially called it off, didn't want to deal with someone who couldn't get their advertisements at least within believable levels and potentially screw over a friend. Then... I rode in it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a T25 should not pull harder than a 14b, correct? This thing pulled harder than my old 16g on 18PSI, and this was only running 15psi.

o.- Was there ever a turbo made on par with a 16g that had the built in J-Angle on it? As far as I'm aware, an E16g has a bolt-on J pipe. Someone, please save my sanity?

It might just be really well tuned, higher compression, as well as maybe those cams are adding performance?


The 14b and the 16 both use a J-pipe.


Oh, it might be a T-28 which is a bit smaller than a 16g.





For those who are going to argue. This is Garrett's T-28.

[Rengar18]

Probably was a Big t28. It looks exactly like a t25 but has just about as much power as a 16g.

[XiKeiyaZI]

Ah! Didn't even think about a T-28. I know for a fact, though, that no T-25 could ever pull like this thing did. No internal work has ever been done besides a basic rebuild (as what could be confirmed), so I doubt that a stock 2G with 272's would increase the efficiency of a T-25 to the levels of a 16g.

What are some stand outs of the T-28 to easily identify what it is.

 

[T is for TURBO]

Nothing externally. It is the EXACT same houseing as the t-25. Take the snorkel off and look at the compressor wheel, it will be bigger than the T25. I'll post a pic...

A standard T-25 will have much more meat on the inlet of the compressor housing.
In order to fit the t-28 internals, they have to bore it out so its substanially thinner

Greddy had a similar looking 18g I believe.

Wonderful. Exactly what I needed to know.

 

[kornfedgsx]

I heard that the t28 compressor wheels have more fins then t25?

 

[JusMX141]

You heard wrong.

 

[jjrock5]

I heard that the t28 compressor wheels have more fins then t25?

It's the turbine wheel blade count that differs.

 

[JusMX141]

Correct, but the T28 turbine has less blades than the T25 turbine...so he still heard wrong.

 

[918_gsx]

TD05H is stamped on and here's a pic of the other numbers...also, it has 12 fins if that helps any.
