OK fellas, I have aquired a turbo from one of my friends 2 days ago. It came with his 95 AWD Talon when he purchased it. The turbo (he says) is a Small 16g he thinks, but I was wondering... how exactly can you tell? Should I measure the outlet to see what size it is? If so... what size would tell if the turbo is a small/big? I dunno. The only numbers I can thik of off the top of my head are the usual on the side: TD05H, then a series of random numbers and letters adjacent from that one the other side of the snail shell. So if you guys could tell me how to decipher which turbo this is, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, if it IS a S16g, it would be just fine to run the stock fuel system with the turbo at about 13-14 psi, correct? Anything higher would require a larger fuel pump... possibly a larger 195 or 255 LPH around 16+ psi, right?

Any help is grealy appreciated! :thumb:

I've posted this tons of times, but anyway, here are what those random numbers equate to:

49178-01420 - Big 16G
49178-01470 - EVO III 16G
49178-01520 - Small 16G

Yes, for the most part, you'll be safe at up to 14-15 psi on the stock fuel system. With a Walbro 190 and stock injectors, I ran 17 psi safely.

Now, with an upgraded sidemount, leaner air/fuel, 550's and that same 190, I run 21-22 psi daily on pump. If it turns out you have an EVO III, 650's would be a better choice since it flows more air than the Big or Small 16G. Also, when you do upgrade, stick with a 190 pump as the 255 will require an AFPR. Keep it simple!

Cheers,

Andy

Ok, i checked the turbo... The numbers are 49178-01010. what the hell is this? What turbo do i have? ahhh? :cry:
 
Gee-Es-Tee said:
but arent the numbers on the 14b turbo 49178-01410?

It could be a 13B. One of the best ways to see if your turbo has a 16G wheel is to check for double sided fins or single sided. All 16G's are doubles, so unless someone swapped in a different wheel, you likely have a 13B or 14B.

Sorry!

Obviously a TD05H. And I think CanadianTSi is right calling it a 14b?

Ok, I am bringing this back from the dead. I am currently looking at a td05 turbo with the same part # on the compressor housing, 49178-01010. It is also mated to a 7cm turbine housing(070). First off, it has a g series mitsu compressor wheel. Of course, it is a td05 so there is no possible it is a 13g. It is definately a 16g turbo. My guess at the moment is an early b16g or an older modded 14b with the 16 wheel stuffed inside of a stock machined housing, but I am still unsure. Has anyone else come up with any leads in the past year? And Andy, pm me your # again, My phone lost it and I dont have it in my pm's anymore.
