E3 16g Comp. Housing on 14b?
 

I have a blown e3 16g in my garage. I'm looking for more flow, so I'm curious if the compressor housing from said 16g would work decent on my stock 14b center and wheel.

I don't need to hear buy a real 16g, I just want to do some cheap upgrades with what I have.

I know it will work. I just don't know what benifits you'll get from it.

Re: E3 16g Comp. Housing on 14b?
 

I have no doubts it'll fit. I'm curious if it'll perform better.

Re: E3 16g Comp. Housing on 14b?
 

The only difference I know of is the opening for the intake is bigger. That could help but then there will be a big space between the compressor blades and housing. So then I wouldn't think it'd be as efficient.

Put an E3 16g wheel and housing on it, then you are good to go.

there you go dustin just what you wanted to hear

Then I have to send it out to be balanced. Just want to know if I'll see any gains with the 14b compressor wheel and an e3 16g comp. housing.

It will probably make it much less efficient and harder to make boost.

dont listen to ecoli he's new the turbo game. Call up pte and order an H-cover. It will fit perfect you have my word on that.

Link to information on it or something?

Less efficient than what?

Re: E3 16g Comp. Housing on 14b?
 

Less efficient than the stock housing. Gaps between the wheel and the housing are a bad thing, especially on the compressor side.

what he wants to know is if he takes an evo 3 wheeel and compressor cover an put them on a 14b will it make more power then a 14b

Re: E3 16g Comp. Housing on 14b?
 

Possibly, but the exhaust side is going to hold it back some compared to a full Evo 3 16G.

Re: E3 16g Comp. Housing on 14b?
 

Sounds like to me he doesn't want to throw the wheel in too, because then he would have to send it to be balanced.

Re: E3 16g Comp. Housing on 14b?
 

i was just at his house it would be nice to use the wheel

Re: E3 16g Comp. Housing on 14b?
 

My apologies, just didn't sound like he wanted to really spend money to make a minimal upgrade.
