Best Turbo for a 4g93

[CLuTZ]

I dont mind a bit lof lag- makes it easier to drive off boost.

You get used to it- and with 4WD's, who cares- just dump the sucker!

I had a small 16g on my 1.8ltr and it was very tractable for the street. just ask dane..

can someone please tell me whats the difference between a small 16g and a big16g. Ive tried searching the net and i cant find anything if someone knows a site please let me know

Wasnt the 14b from the VR4's? suppose to be the "right" one for the 1.8's?

The small 16G has a slighty smaller compressor wheel than the big 16G. Myth has it that Evo Is and IIs had them, but I've pulled apart several Evo I-III turbos now and have never seen a small 16G. All had big 16G wheels standard.

Big 16G Measures 48mm on the inducer and 68mm on the exducer. Small 16G Measurements are 46mm inducer and an exducer of 60mm.

yes it is from the VR4's.
As far as being the "right one" it is a great turbo,
but i guess its what you want at the end of the day. You will get a little bit more lag with a 14b, but the 16g will pull much harder.
If just got rid of my 14b, bolting a 16g on shortly.
Ill let you know how it goes.

i have installed the evo 2 turbo as i blew the big 16g up, i must say its goes very well. anyone who has changed to this turbo will say the same thing

 

[DOUGMO]

isnt it the same turbo as you took off?

 

[FLIBYUGSR]

nopes, i had a large evo 3 on there, but it suked the plastic off the intake pipe through the compressor wheel, now i have the evo2 turbo

 

[DOUGMO]

how differently do they perform?

 

[FLIBYUGSR]

well i only have driven it up and down the street but i didnt notice any difference at all to be honest

 

[DOUGMO]

thats why i asked, because i would have thought they would be the same turbo, cheers mate

 

[FLIBYUGSR]

im sure others who have maybe got the car to the freeway ( cheap fig at myself there lol ) would be able to tell are a little more, might flow better mid to top range, but id say for a street car its awsome

 

[CLuTZ]

EVO 2 and 3's have the same turbo.

What plastic did it suck in? Did you take your intercooler pipes off to see if there's any plastic in your cooler?

 

[DOUGMO]

i am assuming it sucked in the rubber ring that goes over the end of the turbo that the intake hose slips over?

Didnt 2's have a small 16g..im sure they did, then the e3 got the Big 16G

 

[Liberoz]

Not all EvoII's got a Big 16g from factory

 

[Dean]

Huh, whered you hear that? small 16g's exist, theres apart number for them...I ran one on my VR4, and side by side to an E3 16G, it was different.

Edit-Isnt one xxxx1420, the other xxxx1470
