What turbo?

[Andrew7dg]

Ok this just gets more depressing as this car comes apart. What turbo is this? This isn't the 14b because it has the secondary fins. I tried doing a search for this and didn't come up with much. I have a feeling it is a 13b but why is it on a manual transmission car these are supposed to have the 14b on them... GRR:mad:

13g

Ok now I am confused. Why would I have a 13b on my motor. It is a 5 speed I feel like I have been cheated out of my 14b.:mad: Is this because it was the first year of production? I don't think the owners would put on a smaller turbo nor did they change the transmission from an auto to a manual, if they did they did a really good job to hide that.

I am just going to have to save my money for a 16b turbo i guess:p

i saw you post this on tuners.com i think they pretty much summed it up its a 13g and that all there is to it

Its not a 13"B" and you won't upgrade to a 16"B". You have a 13"G" and want to upgrade to a 16"G". I am sure the original 14b needed to be replaced and the previous owners used the cheapest junkyard DSM turbo they could find.

I agree with s2kracka. Most junk yards have no clue what turbo it is. So what makes you think that is the original engine in the car? If that is a 13g in the car. I hope your cams are not from and auto also.

13b's are full of triangles that hate you. Dont confuse them with that harmless little turbo.

You beat me to it!

We did used to call the 13G a 13b. I wonder why we stoped. At any rate, that stopped about five years ago.

Sorry about the confusion of the B and the G just got it and feel dumb that i didn't know about it. Still learning I guess....:(

I am thinking now they slapped on the little turbo not knowing the difference. the whole engine can't be from an auto. It still has the blue top injectors which means it has the 450s right? So the auto had the 390 yellows?.
At least I have the injectors and the origional engine. the car has 140,000 on it so i am thinking that the origional one went out a long time ago.
So... what can I do with this little turbo? How much will it withstand? Or is it to the dumpster with it?

Most junk yards have no clue what turbo it is.Niether do many people. Search "14b" on eBay. One day I did, about 1/3 of the turbos advertised as 14b's had grouped fins indicating 13g or 16g variant. They wouldnt have just put a random 13g on a manual, its obvious the stock one blew and got replaced or got switched out for something bigger, then got converted back to stock (or atleast they thought what was stock ;)).
