I second this, have it rebuilt or even just leave it as it is and sell it. I'm sure that there is a market for the stock dsm turbos. But i'm sure that having it rebuilt will make it alot easier for you to sell. Then use that to get a new full kit meant for our teg applications. Don't go half-assed on your car, you'll suffer the consequences later.

 

sorry with the delayed response to this but yea i pretty much ended up agreeing with the half ass comment. I ended up going to the car and the bolts were just rusted solid on the exhaust mainfold so i pretty much got the heat shield off and that was it. I decided i was an idiot for wanting to try and that i was def. wasting my time. So no i did not get the turbo.

 

DC2 is right the first gen turbo is a 14b and it is very difficult to find a manifold with the right flange. The only one that might work is the hks manifold since it uses a t-25 turbo and alot of 2nd gen dsm guys will use 1st gen 14bs since they have the same flange. So they key would be to find a manifold that is flanged for a t-25 and use your 14b on it. Anyway 14b will hold more boost with less pressure drop than the t-25 Their exhaust housings are of different size but the flange should be the same.

 

What's the displacement on the GSX engine?

 

the 4g63 is 2.0L

 

Dont expect any serious power gains with one of those turbos..if the eclipse was a 91, the 14b turbo is even weaker than the T25, and the T25, is an "above avergae" turbo at best. So I would say if your just looking to tinker with your car, learn a bit about engines and FI, than it is good for a first project. running 5 psi on a 14b, without intercooler, dont expect tu run 13s or 14s !

 

I was at the DSM shootout in norwalk ohio with some of my friends that own a shop and everyone at the dsm shootout agreed that the 14b is stronger. I heard a guy say that the t-25 is better and he got torn into by dave buschar who has the talon that runs high 7's. So I would believe that the 14b is stronger. I do agree though that the t-25 is not going to get you huge power gains. In an old scc i saw a gsr with an hks kit that used a t-25 run a 15.0 @ 93.9

 

Rebuilding that turbo isn't even worth it. Rebuilds usually run around 300-500 bucks. I wouldn't even waste my time.

 

You guys are forgetting the obvious, he is STEALING that turbo. THat junkyard paid for the car, and you are stealing from it :madfawk:

 

Calm down, man.

This thread is about 2 months old. He didn't even end up getting the turbo.
