T3 vs. Mitsu housing

[scheides]

I was able to spool my 20G to 19psi by 3500 rpm. '94 Talon TSi fwd; stock 7-bolt 2.0L 4G63. It actually spooled faster than my ported/clipped Big 16G.

Was it a full TD06 turbine wheel? Most DSM 20G's back in the day were TD05 for improved response.

I don't know for sure to be honest. I remember being told it was but that was many years ago and I have no pictures of to reminisce to. I bought it from Nash and was also told it was used on an HKS drag car way back in the day at one time. Then, I sold it to Brian (1quick4) who later sold it to Peter. Last I knew the turbo was still on Peter's old blue GSX; maybe he has a picture.

From my experience with the 20g turbos I've used and tuned. That is the spool speed of a td05h 20g. Nice turbo but the turbine is restrictive, since it is the 16g turbine. It won't flow much more than the evo3 16g, no matter how big the compressor wheel is. The evo3 16g compressor can even benefit from a larger turbine. . .

From what I recall that was a tdo5 20g.

Thanks for the clarification dudes!

Different turbo's make different hp #'s at the same boost level?

[wheelhop]

:) yes. If not then we would all have the same turbine wheel and turbine housing.

Well I have a HX35 with bolton housing on the way. I have a T3 manifold for sale and I haven't decided if I am keeping this other HX35

Which compressor wheel does each have? The 7blade 56mm compressor wheel will spool the same as the 8blade 56mm compressor wheel using the bep housing. It flows 60lb/min. If if you want more turbo later you can get the t3 bep housing or use a used 12cm^2 hx35 turbine housing (t3 bolt pattern) and have enough turbo to make 570ish whp. And with either turbine housing spool will be between 3900 and 4100rpms.

EDIT: To add, if you stick with bolton . . . In the meantime, you will have a turbo that will spool as fast as an evo3 16g/td05h 18g/tdo5h 20g, but flow as much as a td06 20g or t31 50-trim.

I was making fun of this thread. :biggrin:
