SPLN SUX Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I did some searching and didnt come up with a whole lot but i was wondering if anyone knows any good websites for mitsubishi turbo parts. I have this 16T here and im ready to gut the shit out of it and make a crazy turbo with it... just need parts Thanks in advance. -Schall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 16g? It is the stock size turbo of the evo. It doesnt exactly have "Crazy turbo" properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I'd see about a T3 or maybe a GT30RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Its a 16T. Im basically looking to rebuild this thing with a 18G or 20G compressor wheel/shaft. The trick is to keep the stock turbine housing for the quick spooling, but do a clip on the turbine wheel to raise the topend a bit. I just need to find a place with lots of parts so i can make it all fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 The 16t is just the volvo tag for the manner in which the outlet is shaped. The 20G compressor wheel is usually housed in a td05 so I dont see how you would fit that in there without major modification. Frankly, I dont see it being worth the work for such a small turbo. Granted the stock volvo turbos are as big as a quarter but could the 16t be that significant of a performance increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted the stock volvo turbos are as big as a quarter but could the 16t be that significant of a performance increase. The 16T is a pretty big jump from the factory 12T. The 12T is only a 265cfm turbo... practicaly nothing. The 16T is a 435cfm... the 20G, 650cfm. The 14T housing can be machined to fit a Big 16G wheel... one person has done it already. After some research, i found that the 16G, 18G, and 20G all had the same exducer size, the inducers were different. So in theory, if i can machine the compressor housing enough, the 20G wheel should fit. I really want to keep the 12T side for 3 reasons... : 1. Its a factory fit... on Volvos, you cant beat that. 2. The spool time. 3. It will still look factory. In order to do this right, i have to preserve the cars factory appearence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byhi Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 you want a gold star? j/k but yea i know what you mean. It's hard to do something thats now what everyone is doing b/c lack of support. But then it's pretty rewarding b/c not everyone is doing it. FIGHT THE MAN!
