What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

[Archer Fabrications]

So am I, and I know enough that you can't put a ball bearing GT turbine into a journal bearing T-style center housing. If it has a GT35R turbine, then the turbo itself is a GT35R and not a 6152.

You can port it until there's a hole in the side of the housing and it won't make the nozzle area or the critical area around the turbine wheel any larger or better-flowing.

In layman's terms, your funnel can be the size of a 55-gallon drum, but if the outlet is the size of a dime, that's the amount it's going to flow.

well why would anyone port their turbo then?

well check this out. you tell me. cause i dont know anything haha or else i wouldent be asking.

Definitely an old cast 35R compressor...but that's no ball-bearing turbine. Doesn't look like a T352, either- but I can't tell you what it is without the wheel specs. Could be an O-Trim (69mm exducer) or P-Trim (76mm exducer).

For reference, here's a GT35R turbine wheel in a DSM bolt-on turbine housing. Notice how much more "swept" the leading edge of the blade is than your example:

its sure enough a ballberring turbo, positive of that dont know if its dual BB though, yeah i see the difference in wheel. i guess this is just PTE's SCM version of the 35R huh? anyway, what do you think of that turbo on a 2.0? haul ass? and this is for sure a 6152 yes?

This is PTE's journal-bearing version of a 35R, correct.

what do you think of that turbo on a 2.0? haul ass?

Umm....

and this is for sure a 6152 yes?

Again, that doesn't look like a T352 turbine so I don't know what to tell you unless you provide us some specs.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

are you tellin me you dont think this is a Ball berring turbo at all? because im pretty sure it is Dual BB.WTF

 

[JusMX141]

Definitely a ball-bearing cartridge, as noted by the off-centered oil inlet hole as well as the water line provisions. Not sure why PTE would market a 6152 in a ball bearing model when a GT35R is essentially the same turbo.

This new series of photos shows the turbine wheel as looking a little more like what a T352 turbine looks like, although measurements would be nice to prove that you have what you think you have.

T352 (Stage 5) = Inducer 2.759", Exducer 2.436"

 

[Archer Fabrications]

id have to call PTE to get the wheel specs, but PTE offers a Ballberring option for almost all their turbos.. its like an extra 500 bucks. or something

 

[JusMX141]

Calling PTE will not solve any issues if a different wheel was installed; I was referring to you removing the turbine housing and measuring the wheel....but we'll just say it's a T352 for the sake of discussion.

Hey whats up guys, my bro is looking to pick up a DSM and he went to look at a clean 1G. The guys claims to put on a new Big 16G Turbo but he has no receipts for it or the work, just wondering if someone would be able to identify this turbo by just the sight since we cant actually take it off. Or wherever the serial number is located or any other way. Any input would be appreciated, Im gonna go with him to check it out Tuesday, til then have at it with the pic, he has another but it hasnt been uploaded hopefully its Some help.

looks like my 16g..td05, should say it on the intake side..check for shaft play

 

[-red97rum-]

from what I can see the turbine housing looks like an EVO III. Get a pic of the numbers on the compressor housing and take the intake tube off to get a pic of the compressor wheel.

 

[Bud92gsx]

The serial numbers are behind the 1g turbo to IC pipe there at the top left of the pic...Also if it's a 16g the compressor fins will have 6x2..

Here are the serial numbers if the guy will let you pull that pipe off.. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-turbo-system-intercooler/313105-16g-serial-numbers.html

 

[dsmpat95]

The wastegate acuator(spelled wrong) looks like the ones on ebay turbo's.
Good chance it is a ebay turbo.

 

[Bud92gsx]

On second look at my own pictures..There should be tdo5h below the coolant line there..

And it's not a small 16g cause there is no tdo5h, and the line on the turbine housing should be smaller..

So it looks like ebay turbine housing..

 

[TJCTalon]

Looks like an ebay 16g. The hot side is ebay and so is the wastegate

Ok I am looking at a few turbos, I haven’t pickrd them up yet just trying to see if there is any use for them... Here is what I am looking at. I am really only looking at the two turbos so I really only took pictures of them but there are three in all. Here is what I know... the first one is a Holset the tag says it is a BHT3E... it is reverse scroll and it is huge... 3" inducer and a 4.5" exducer.

The other is a Garret. This is the smallest of the three and what you see is what I know about it...

The third turbo is an IHI turbo but I really didn’t have a huge interest in it. The tag on that turbo says it was a Cummins turbo and it is every bit as big as the Holset...

 

[JusMX141]

The smallest of the three has a 1.54 a/r turbine housing? You need to keep shopping.

 

[RunninPlaya]

it's a baby, will run decent amount of boost, but is a baby. i'm in agreeance that it is an eBay turbo, the 16g i have on mine doesn't look too much like this. but in 1500 miles and i get to slap the hollsett on

 

[thomcasey]

Yup, eBay turbo Dead giveaway is the "adjustable" waste-gate actuator.

 

[JusMX141]

Knockoff 16G. About $180 brand new.

^^ The man has spoken, and so it is so . Id definitely poke around the car and ask some more questions, like: Is the car completely stock other than the turbo? Make sure there arent any other junk parts on her. (Yes, I said junk and before anyone jumps in to defend that turbo, its no secret that these are a real hit or miss thing- some people get a few years out of them, some fail in very short order, and Ive known several people who just decided to guinea pig an Ebay special, including an ASE certified master tech and DSM expert, and they all failed inside of three months with massive in- out play and 007 smoke screen going down the road)
Anyway, you can expect to put some money into this car for maintenence, which should be done right away if you buy the car- in this case, just run the turbo til she grenades but the key point is the failure is to be expected.
Do a compression test before buying. Always. Personally, I wouldnt buy it if the compression test yeilds any less than 150- 155psi in all four cylinders.
Any maintenence records??

So a buddy of mine was givin this and it said fp on it in a few places and he was told it was an "older green" but i wasnt sure when i heard that. It smoked so he sent it to fp and they charged 850$$.to rebuild it because it needed new wheels, basically a new chra, here are some pics, it looks like a 20g and the hot side is marked 78- 11830 the cold side has the fp logo on it, as well as the chra, im thinking mYbe its an older fp stage 3 "frankenstein" or somthing like that, thanks Ny help would be great.

Mmmm i see fp stamps, justin here would know im sure others would too.
