shadowed turbo
 

I have a Garrett turbo off a dodge shadow. Anyone know what size it is?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

That should be a 42 cool side 48 hot side.I got one cooming that I bought on ebay.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

so youre saying a 42/48?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

Yes.That what it should be.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

How much did you pay for it? Would this turbo be a good swap for a T25?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

I paid 100 for it.I dont know what the a/r is on that t25 but if the a/r is higher on the t25 i would go with that. A /48 is fairly small.It will spool up quick but might top off early in the RPM depending on your engine redline.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

The T25 is already on my car. The other turbo is physically bigger than the T25 so i dont know if its a 42/48. what other dodges had turbos and what size are they?

thanx for the help

Re:shadowed turbo
 

Shadows and Duster are the same car but one is a Chrysler and one is a Dodge I believe.86-89 Caravans have a teo4h as well as the Lebaron but I wouldt reccomed one of those.They have a wierd flange and are way to small.dodge colt is turboed too I cant remember wich turbo it has but I know if you want something bigger than a t25 that is too small.Are you looking for a direct replacement?If not you could make/buy an adapter plate and go with a t3 turbo of a Saab Or a Volvo wich are alot cheaper!

Re:shadowed turbo
 

So what am i going to look for in a turbo swap? should the compressor wheel be the same size? if its not, is it a big problem? what other problems would i run into?

thanx again

Re:shadowed turbo
 

Well you dont want to downgrade!so yess the compressor wheel and exhaust housing should be bigger if you want to make more boost.Just remember that the higher your A/R on the exhaust side the more lag you will get but the more boost you will make on the top end if you have a high reving car.Turbos with a small A/R on the exhaust side are used for cars with low red lines like up to 6500rpm or so.What car do you have?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

I have a 96 saab 900. redlines at a weak 6200. is there anyway to mix and match the housings between the 2 turbos i have? are you saying the 42/48 is smaller than the t25. cause when i put them side by side...the one off the dodge is quite a bit bigger.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

if you have a t25 on a saab then you should look at upgrades for 2G eclipses. they came stock with a t25 that puts out 10-15psi and 220hp.

for an eclipse a t28=260 hp, big 16G=320hp, 20G=400hp, AGP RS43 350hp, AGP RS49=440, AGP RS60=534.

my friend has an eclipse with a super 20g and it hauls ass, even though its a heavy pig (automatic and awd).

the boost gauge flies to 15psi instantly and then climbs to 20psi, we kept up with a porsch pretty good on a freeway pull to 140+ mph.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

I dont know what the a/r on that t25 is.I dont know if the bolt patern on those turbos are the same.Compare them.See if it looks like it would fit

Re:shadowed turbo
 

Check your other post!!

Re:shadowed turbo
 

which of those turbos come stock on eclipses?

which other post?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

None of the ones i posted for you.He is talking about a t25.That comes stock on the Eclipse

Re:shadowed turbo
 

out of the ones he mentioned do any of them come stock on the mitsubishis?

Re:shadowed turbo
 

No what he listed are replacements for the t25 that your car shares with the Eclipse.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

ok
thx

Re:shadowed turbo
 

all those turbos have to be bought aftermarket (except t28 if u r in japan) and cant be found in a junkyard. you might be able to get a used one on dsmtrader.com or ebay.

if you engin can handle the horsepower then you can prob swap most of them in without changing you exhaust manifold or downpipe.

the real big ones you will need an exhaust manifold, downpipe, and external wastegate.

you should do a 20g, those haul on a 2.0l mitsu. that would be great, a 400hp saab lol.

Re:shadowed turbo
 

Ive seen one with 360...

Id like to get a T28...but i doubt i ever find a good deal on one.
