Help Identify New Turbo
 

Well, as my turbo kit comes together ive come across a few good deals. I have a set of 450 dsm injectors, a sidemount dsm i/c and a dsm bov valve. I got that all for 20 bucks.

Reciently i bought this turbo for 30 dollars. It needs a rebuild, and I dont know exactly what kind of turbo it is.

The guy i bought it from said its a t25 from a saab 9000t, but i thought those turbos were either t3's or t2's. Anyways heres the pics.

Theres a number plate on the center section, and if those numbers tell me anything ill post them up. If measurements of the inlet/outlet are needed ask and ill post them. The a/r on the exhuast side is .49 and on the compressor is .48. Ive heard that this turbo will be slightly to small for my d16a1. Is there any way to install a larger compresser on these turbos? I know its possible for the t3... hell it might even be a t3. Anyways thanks alot for any help!

sell that pos
2 small for anything

Re:Help Identify New Turbo
 

I'd sell it just cause I don't like the looks of that flange :-X

So yeah if you could get a refund, I would do it, for less than the money you spent on that and a rebuild you could get a nice condition t3

Re:Help Identify New Turbo
 

well rebuild kits are cheap and i can weld so...

i just need to know what kinda turbo it is.

besides if i buy a nice condition t3 for 100 bucks, its not rebuilt. id rather have a rebuilt turbo thatll last forever than a turbo that will only last me 30,000 miles

you seriously think that you'll keep that turbo on your car for more than 30,000 miles. get the ---- out of here. i bet you don't keep that one on there 10,000.

besides, you'll probly blow you engine before you get to 30,000.

Re:Help Identify New Turbo
 

chill man, i asked a question and didnt get a responce other than "get a refund" or "sell it"

I didnt even say i was going to keep it for 30,000 miles. I just said that id rather have it rebuilt to last longer that way when i do decide to upgrade ill have a rebuilt turbo with low miles and maybe can get something decient out of it.

Maybe i shouldnt post, because i dont have 1000 + posts so i dont know what im talking about. ::)

Re:Help Identify New Turbo
 

no, that's not what you should do. but get a turbo that you'll be satisfied with from the get go. if you rebuild that, no one will pay a good amount of money for it if they know about turbos

bottom line. its too small for any application. maybe a lawnmower can use it

Re:Help Identify New Turbo
 

ok, so since its so small can i put a larger compressor houseing on it?

Anyways, I still dont know what kind of turbo it is.

I know its small, but i do have a gsxr-750. So if nothing else itll go on that.

What kind of turbo do you think i should have? I was thinking something more like a 14b, on another forum a fellow has the same motor as me and a t25 from a 2g dsm than he swapped to a 14b and said it lags like hell compared.

How does this turbo compare to the dsm t25?

Thanks for any help

bah use the turbo than. You wanted help, i may not have givin the help you initially wanted, but I thought it would have been in your best interest to actually get a decent turbo. Do what you please, it's your money. Since you throwin' it away you might as well gimme those injectors. ;)

And good job bringing up post count, expecially since no one mentioned anything about it or even called you a n00b ::)

Now I'll call you a n00b, good job for n00bing yourself n00b ::)

Eh, i suppose i got overboard. Sorr im used to honda-tech and getting my ass flamed off. :o


Anyways yeah, i know its small or whatever. Im not really looking for super high numbers. 150-180 hp for now is ok. I dont want to break things on the first time around, So id rather expirement with a smaller turbo and get a good idea of things than go balls to the wall and get the biggest baddest setup and blow sshit up.
