Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

I just got a Garrett GT23V from a friend of mine. its a bit bigger then CT20 bigger then NIssan V27 (which im using in my B16). the turbo is brand new with no shaft play. here are the details
Garrett 0.42a/r M53 (written on compressor side)
AL0010
GT23V
and it says made is france
this turbo also has a benz label on it.which means that its off of a Merc. has a internal wastegate but a little different type.

im thinking about putting it in my B16.......what do u guys think?
Does anyonehere have any ideaabout this turbo?":?? any flowmaps???? how much HP is it good for??

Pull off the compressor and exhaust housings, then measure the small & large diameters of both wheels.

^^^ has info to match that roughly to a compressor, and give a very rough idea of what it can do. I know jack about the turbo, but with the wheel sizes and maybe AR sizes, I can give you an idea.

Ok!! illopen it uptonight and letu know theoutcome. until then any ideas??? :D

is it any good for a B16??

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

very small...good for a b16 up to about... 5000rpm's

lol

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

replace ur blender blade with that turbos compressor wheel so you can say you used it for something

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

Does it means that its a piece of junk???
No use of it in a B16??? :O

though its a bit bigger as compared to which im using currently. Am i using a very small one???? should i dump it off immediatly???
tellmetellme

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

ct20 is weaksauce. ----, even the ct26 is weaksauce on a b16. Using anything other than a t3/t4 or a holset is futile. Unless doing 60' burnouts in first and second are your idea of sweet traction.

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

Yeh way too small , don't even think about using it your car will be slower , guaranteed.
t3/t4 minimum mate , b16a 's turn animal with big turbo on vtec 8) 8)

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

Does it actually in real means that my car would be very slow???
I lost to a CTR with I/H/E and Chipped Hondata on 7/8psi of boost. Was it because of small turbo?? will i be able to beat the same CTR on the same boost by running a bigger turbo???

Can i use KKK k26 instead of my current and xpect better performance???
let me know thanks :)

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

Yeh dump watever turbo you're running now and just get a t3/t4 ...anything decent :6

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

haha. that thing is tiny man. a b16 would run that thing out by 6k rpms.
the kkk k26, would throw that thing away also. people are running some decent size snails on b16's
alot bigger than what your running there....

that turbo is a t3

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

If you still have that GT23V, I would like to buy it from you.

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

@OM617
that turbo is sold now, im running a 16g in my B16 :D

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

Oh well, the search goes on....

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

so even after we all keep telling you to get a big ------- turbo, you go out and get a 16g...

some people will never learn ::)

Re: Just got myself a GT23V forB16a
 

So did I miss the part where this motor was built? Why the ---- would you use a turbo that can injest small dogs on a stock-block street car? To put a twist on that traction quote: Is your idea of traction no boost until 6k, where it then tripples the torque the rubber can handle?

My buddy has an otherwise stock Evo, just has a stock turbo with clipped compressor, meth injection, cams, and some reflash - spools like stock, but makes mid 400's.

Unless you roll with DOT slicks daily, there's few reasons for over 300whp. Unless you like partial throttle til 4th.
