i know that all MBC's are suppost to perform the same function. but is there a large change between brands of MBC's and what brands do you guys suggest?

[kjewer1]

They are all the same type these days. People used to use bleeder valves, but they affect the spool up of the turbo. They are all now ball and spring valves. A ball and seat valve prevents manifold boost from reaching the wastegate, until it can overcome the sprinf pressure in the MBC and get to the WG. So the only real difference is the spring rate the manufacturer uses. The key though is to use one that is know to work well. The turbo xs one is know to cause boost spike on many cars, while others like the hallman, joe p, etc all work great for 99.9% of people.

alright some more questions about my turbo, i have taken it apart and it the fins on the turbine side of the turbo are in pretty rough shape. would replacing these through my turbo out of balance??? next question i got everything with the turbo, waterlines, oil return, what all am i need to install it(double check me please), gasket for oil return, j-pipe.thanks for the help.

[95_GSX]

wanted to bring this back up.

Kevin where are you at???

[kjewer1]

Yes. Any time you remove the nut from the turbo shaft you need to rebalance. In fact, with banged up turbine blades odds are its already out of balance. I believe the turbine wheel and shaft are one piece as well, so you might as well do a full rebuild. Balance is cheap, but the rebuild kit is 150. I've never rebuilt one, so I cant tell you how to do it. Its usually more cost effective to find another unit id good shape.

I think you listed everything you need, except for the oil feed line. I'm sure you're aware of that though.

were do i get one of those RRE's "hacker/tweaker" instal kit and for a 14b turbo do i just need a new exhasut manifold and 2g kit as far as bolting it on i already looked at the turboing article so i no about the other stuff

95 Gsx... Why are you venting to the atmosphere? Nothing good comes from that except f@cking with your engine... Do yourself a favor and dont vent to the atmos. Yeah... I know it sounds better but who cares. Would you rather watch that stang disapear in your mirror or hear an ultra ricy PSSH between shifts? Good luck with your turbo and let us know what happens.

He could be running the MAFt setup, which allows you to vent to the atmosphere without any problems.

Just go with a simple Joe P mbc, Hallman mbc, or build your own for $10 or less!

As far as gauges, mine are autometer. I picked up boost and A/F, but everyone pretty much agrees that without an upgraded or modified o2 sensor, A/F gauges are definitely bling . But let's not forget that ladies love bling !

I picked up my autometer boost/vac gauge for $30 on dsmtuner.com classifieds.

A) because the guy that owned the car before me put it on
B) yes i do like the "ultra ricey PSSH sound between shifts" so suck a nut

i need to find another 14-b or send this one SBR to get rebuilt, the turbine housing is cracked as all hell, through the waste gate and shit so i dont think i want to run it. but none of the cracks are all the way through the housing so it would probably be all right. but being irresponsible person i am, i blew $650 on a new stereo for my car instead of DSMlinkv.2 and a turbo, so maybe in July i will go for the upgrade.

I may have a 6cm turbine housing for you for cheap money. Unless the rest of the turbo needs attention too, then it would make sense to just send it in.

well the turbine wheel on the one i have is on pretty rough shape, so i am trying to currently buy one, the guy says it only has 15,000 and it has no shaft play. it looks pretty clean from the pics but a pressure washer can do wonders, i will see if i get it or not. either way i still might be interested, i will let you know.
