right,all 14b,16g,18g, turbos come with a tdo5 turbine wheel that lets you swap out different center sections while retaining the same turbine housing.

Not all tdo5's are created equal. The turbos used on evo's 4-8 spin the opposite direction.

this should fit fine shouldnt it? i got a manifold off of an 94 eclipse basically its for my civic that im turboing

namoR · #7 01-01-2006, 09:51 PM

why wouldnt it fit?

Thor06 · #8 01-01-2006, 09:59 PM

If you are turboing a Civic, I dont think it matters which way the turbo is oriented as long as you can still get all the piping to it and you have a manifold you can bolt it onto. Its backwards from a DSM turbo, so it wont work without a lot of unneeded modification on a DSM.

everything should fit fine i was told it would by a good friend of mine who is good with this shit. i was just wondering if i got a good deal on this

namoR · #10 01-02-2006, 12:29 AM

then how do ppl have evo3 turboes on there cars? i see 16g evo3 on like everyones sig.

LMAO it will work but you got one hell of a shitty deal on it.. You should have just jacked a 14B from the junk yard or something lol

namoR · #12 01-02-2006, 02:01 AM

dude i have a td04 from a gst and a td05 from a gsx i wanted something bigger how is that a bad deal?

crunchymilk55 · #13 01-02-2006, 02:10 AM

No it was a bad deal, you overpayed. If it's for a civic I suggest asking in the civic forums. Noone in here is supposed to know what or will not fit your car.

Blackcrow64 · #14 01-02-2006, 02:21 AM

The motors are flipped in the Evo's so the turbo is backwards. But, he should still be able to use it if he just reroutes his piping to his intercooler and uses a Maf Translator so he can just stick a filter right on the turbo... Shouldn't that work?

***EDIT***
Opps, I missed that it was for a civic... If thats the case then it shouldn't matter as long as you can get it to bolt up to your manifold.

Because first of all he said he never turned the boost up WTF why is he upgrading then??? so number one he is fucking full if shit.. Number two like said above you payed WAY to much for that shit..

Soo you have a tdo5 why did you get another???

That tdo4 would give you more than you need.. trust me i gave my stock 14b to my brother that has a CRX and he is nowhere close of maxing that shit out.. You have to think man people have hit 11's with that turbo in a car that weighs alot more than yours does..LMAO or are you planning on twin feeding the evo turbo with the others LOL
