My darn car..

Well as you all know Ive gone through hell to get this damn turbo to work. Well today i found oil in my boost gauge.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was pretty damn shocked to find this. Any how i fixed that problem. But then i turned on the car and smoke was comming out the exhaust. Again shocked the car has been running for a week or so and more smoke.... Ahhhhhhhhhhh Any how it may be the turbo was bad that my friend sold me and now i have to deal with this problem. I just want it to run right for now. Thats all im asking "i know that is alot to ask from a dsm but please" Does any one have a 14b for sale or 16g by chance if so how much for it. It will take me a couple of weeks to get the money because i just started a new job but i won't start until the first of october. Any way if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of please let me know...

I have the turbo and exhaust manifold from a stock 1g Talon. Not sure what kind it is....been wondering for a while. But whatever the stock one is, that's the one I have. I was going to turbo my car for a while, but didn't/don't have the money or the desire to boost it any more. By the way, what type of turbo comes off of a Talon?

14b long as it was a standard

I have a 14B at home with some major cracks in the exhaust housing around the wastegate and chewed blades, and a T-25 that burns some oil at home. Let me know if you are interested. You might be able to piece together at least one good 14B.

first of all what color is the smoke that is comming out?? it could be something other than your turbo.

Well, you can just name your price if you want mine. No cracks or anything and I have the banjo bolts, too.

the white blueish color that it was when the t25 killed over. It didn't do it today it hasn't done it again but im just waiting. It also wont boost bast 12psi so i think that its just a matter of time until it dies... I only got to use it one time at 15 god this sucks.....

How much do you want for it?

yep sounds like the turbo

Uhhh...whatever you're willing to pay. I bought it for $50 with the manifold so I'm not going to ask you to pay more than that. How about....$50 so I come out even; although shipping would probably suck huh?

ok well when i get my check i will go head and get it becuase i need my car to work. yeah the shipping will suck for sure.

50 dollars is a pretty good price though, (if its in good shape)

I paid 125 for mine on e-bay. The guy claimed it had 15000 miles, but when I got it you could fall in the cracks in the exhaust housing and around the wastegate flapper. Bastard >: (

well it has to be in better shape than this one i still can't get over 12psi but i didn't try today im going to see if its just the boost controller but i dought it. I hooked up the boost controller to the EBC so it should do at least 14 if im lucky. Maybe from there i should be able to adjust it. Its just an idea. But for some odd reasone it seems to spool a little faster but again i don't know.. But when i get my first check I'll come find you. If you could post some pictures up of the housing and things like that it would be great. Thanks again

Sure, no problem. It doesn't suck, so don't think that's why I'm selling it for $50. I has a post in the forum that I was selling my Eclipse and buying a Civic, but that's no longer the case. I'm going to just buy all the parts and fix it myself. Well, my mom's buying them, so the quicker I can pay her back the better :-). I'll have pics up later Sunday. Take care, and keep in touch.

thanks I start on the 1st so it will be around the 14 or so before i can get it unless i get some extra money to come in. somewhere

I feel your pain man. I bought a 14B and ended up having to shell the cash for a Evo16g because the one I bought was in such bad shape. Oh well. Live and learn.

do you think that the stock intercooler piping would have anything to do with the boost level not rising. I am going to switch the mbc around today. I was able to get 14 lastnight but i but the mbc before the EBC. So if i put it after it i should be able to controll the boost a little better Hope and pray. My friend has a civic that he thinks is fast and he wants me to race him but 1st i don't like street racing and 2nd its a civic. He has intake headers exhaust and a 50 shot of spray. I think he also has a vtec controller but its not even a dohc vtec. Such a waist of gas. I should be able to smoke him at 12 psi even with his nos.

Do you have the stock UICP? If so, that is definitely not helping your situation. I know BoostedSpyder replaced his stock with a hard pipe and got some 4 lbs/min more flow so it is definitely a limiting factor.

yeah all of the ic pipe is stock i haven't had the money to upgrade yet but now that i have a job i will start again but i know that turbo should reach full boost faster than 5000 rpms. Full boost is 13psi in third gear. Its really shity but for now thats where i sit for now. when i drove my friends 1g is turbo kicked in like the t25 does on our cars.

I have the stock j pipe that comes on the 1g and a hose that connects it to the stock pipe.

Please post pic of turbo

That was me.....Man, I don't get credit for anything :crying:


:lol:

I didn't notice any difference between spool times with the stock UICP and the RRE UICP. Easy install and great gains. I highly recommend their pipe because of it's excellent fitment and construction.

my bad man. I knew it was one of the sweet spyders on the forum.

Thanks you do you have any of the exhaust housing. Also what size is the tdo4 turbo? Did it come off of an auto or standard. Would that be a 13g? It looks the same size as the 14b

ok I know that its either a 13g or a 15g. My question is could i use the tdo5h housing instead of the tdo4hl housing on the turbo. Also i read in other places that that turbo wont just bolt up without some changes to things.

I'll post the exhaust manifold tomorrow. I had work tonight and I'm way tired and sick. As far as compatibility goes, I hope you're asking somebody else because I have NO CLUE. Hope you get things figured out though.
