My new Turbos. Identify them! Win a cookie!
Heres whats on the top of the compressor housing:
79-04000
on the bottom (outlet port) it has
Mitsubishi
15253
What is it? I have two of them. well, if they are big enough I will have them, right now im barrowing them to see what they are (owner has no idea)

one guy said it looked like a 13G turbo with an upgraded compressor wheel, and a changed exhaust housing..
another guy said no way thats not a 13g from any eclipse hes ever seen, it must be a 20g or 16g turbo or something.
another guy said its a factory but rebuilt turbo from a non-eclipse mitsubishi
the original owner of these that had them rebuilt was planning on putting them both onto a 383 cubic inch mopar motor. i have the stainless mopar headers with them, too. I still cant find an absolute answer on what they are though...

looks just like mine... I wonder if thats what they are? But one question, these say Mitsubishi, do syclone turbos also say mitsubishi?

i had a typhoon.. and i know its not that, the typhoon/Syclone turbo's were wet turbo's meaning they had oil and coolant running in them, also the mounting on that turbo is different. the previous owner could have swapped a part or 2 on that, but if i had to guess i would say it was from a pre 93 eclipse.

yeah it definately is a td06 20G just like the i have, one of those will not be enough for a stock l98 will they, i got one from a friend that owed me money and its almost like new, and i wondered if i could make it work on my car with low boost like 4-5 lbs until i can afford the 60-1? i cant think that it would be too small if i didnt push it really hard they also came on the mitu fuso trucks...

Yes the previous owner had an elbow welded to both of these turbos to aim them at the intake.
I have two of them, and two of them, acording to PSI racing who has used these turbos before should be good for up to 800 horsepower considering each of them puts out 6XX CFM
I will beginning the Twin turbo project on my car in about a week, im using cast L98 manifolds to mount them to (copying someone elses idea) removing my A/C and using steel bends to run the intake system, and a stainless downpipe followed by steel exhaust back on both sides. im leaving right now to pick up gas for the mig and the proper sized wire to get this thing going. the flange will also be stainless to prevent warping / cracking.

Right wire – depends… for most mild steel to stainless that's probably 309. I use 308 (not as good but it's usually hard to find 309), mild to mild, ER70S6. Welding to the casting... well, I haven't actually tried to weld to 3rd gen manifolds, but I've welded a few other castings... _usually_ you can get away with the mild steel wire, but not always. Generally, the safe answer is something like 309, or any high nickel wire, the stuff sold specifically for welding cast pieces is very similar to inconel wire/rod.
Right gas – C25 is usually the best compromise, if you're welding mostly stainless then I'd consider a bottle of tri-mix.
I'm hoping that you're not taking the advice of the shop that originally gave you info, since where you started after you talked to them was way off…
WRT to the flange, stainless will be harder to cut and will be more likely to warp. Look around, you'll notice that most stainless headers actually use mild steel flanges for that reason.

Ok thats good info; im talking to a welding supply shop, im going to be renting an argon/Co2 mix from them for $20 for 3 months, and using a .030 solid Mig wire to do the entire system of both exhaust and intake.
For the flange to Manifold it will be heated with a torch, then welded. the flange is mild steel like you said, the manifolds i assume are cast iron or a low grade steel like you said.
for the downpipe to the exhaust, i will probably use a stainless collector, to minimize the warping and rusting, good idea?? or aluminized steel, not sure which yet. what do you recommend? after that collectors it will all be aluminized steel (regular exaust)
For the intake side, im going to fab it all from the same steel as the exhaust. the stuff is cheap enough, and i can get any mandrel bend i want for like $4-$12 / foot from this local shop (miami muffler)
I need to find an intercooler, and soon, if im going to plumb it up right. ah, i need to find a BOV also really soon. i was gonna plumb it right before the intake, but if i cant get one big enough then maybe 2 small ones from who knows where?

Update on the intercooler and BOV scenario;
Im probably going to use 2X eclipse DSM intercooler, they have the right inlet and outlet and appear to hold 300~ horsepower each (20+ psi of boost) so they should work i assume... suggestions? they are under $50 a piece which is what im looking for.
for the BOV's probably 1stgen DSM eclipse, they are $15/each used and hold 18PSI max, i will be running 12 through these intercoolers so no biggy. they probably flow a little less than I will need but i have an auto which should help loads, and worst comes to worst i just run 2 of these per side
anyways, i think that solves THOSE problems.

What do you mean about the tank? I dont have a bottle, they want like $180 here for a bottle. If i had one i would just get it filled. I only want to rent one for 3-4 months, and $6/mo isnt that bad is it?
I PMed you about the material of the manifolds. Im just going to assume they are cast iron, when i get them ill clean em up real good.

Crossfire, Its interesting you mention that because both times these turbos were identified, I was told they are 20g turbos. Now both people ALSO said they were syclone turbos. syclone came with the TD06-17C turbo like you said, not a 20G.
These have obviouselly been rebuilt, they were never run. Is it possible the compressor turbine had been upgraded to a 20g? I cant even find the part number on the turbos from syty.org, so im just in the dark about what these things REALLY are.
theres still a cookie up for grabs!

Let me ask a stupid question; if the turbo was (or even could be) upgraded from 17C to 20G turbo, could that be done with the same compressor housing? Assuming it can, i thought you could only fit a certain size wheel into the housing? which means if it was upgraded then it would be the same size? I know im wrong, but where?
#24
Not real sure about upgrading a 17c to a 20g. I know at T-netics they used to upgrade 17g to 20g's all the time. You just have to carve the housing a little bigger. Not hard for a shop to do. Most guys I know that had Syclones, would just get rid of their stock turbo altogether and replace it with a hybrid or even bigger. I've seen several 60-70mm turbos on Syclones. I even helped put a twin ball bearing 80mm turbo on one, that was a street car. Anything is possible with enough $$$.

You'd have to put the compressor housing on a lathe and machine it to fit the shape of the larger wheel. As long as the major diameter of the compressor wheel will fit entirely inside the diffuser assembly it should work.
The reason that most of the sy/ty guys just change to a different turbo rather then upgrading is the simple fact that the T3 and T04 turbos have pretty much been the standard in the performance world for years and that you can often find a T whatever for cheaper and make everything else fit then you could upgrade the mitsu turbo. Parts are available to make some killer mitsu hybrids, but I don't know of anyplace that you can get them new for what I would consider a reasonable price.

The elbow has been added so that it will be a direct fit for a 2G DSM. It isn't a T25,16G,20G.. the compressor fins are different.

Actually the guy from StTy.Org indicates that they ARE 20G turbos, not 17C turbos, and that they ARE from syclone..
The elbows were added to point the outlets towards the front of the V8 motor, not for a 2G DSM or whatever. the previous owner was putting these on his 383 mopar motor.

The 2G DSM's need the outlet to face that way, that is all I am saying. I have also not seen that style compressor wheel in very many turbo's.. I believe that is an older style. It doesn't mean that I am not wrong, just my experience.

In other news im probably going to try to find a set of T3's in a smaller package or just throw these on for now, according to the compressor maps (supplied by crossfire! thanks crossfire!) these are efficient in the 1.7-1.9 PR (like he said to begin with...) so im not sure if I want to run 10PSI of boost right off the bat with this thing..

Never heard of the outlet being changes for heat issues. I know the DSM guys like that type because it saves them from buying a j-pipe and some stupid hoses and stuff. I beleive it is purely an installation mod.. although It does look to make the air have to do a weird bend really quick.

I've got some progress pics... Ill probably start a new post for this though. So far on the turbos the concess is that they are 17C or 20G turbos. I suppose Ill never REALLY know, but hey who cares at this point! So no one gets a cookie... And I'd eat it but its stale now...
If anyone cares the L98 manifolds turned out to be cast STEEL, not IRON. using a Cast/Nickel Rod for the Arc weld turned out the be the best/strongest solution. no pre-heat, air cool down. no peening. came out nice, heres a pic of the blocked off factory outlet.

UPDATE:
Pulled off the comressor housing and measured the wheel inside. It is 2.98" Wide at the widest lowest point. Does that tell anyone anything?

Yes they look identical actually, do you have any measurements of the exducer or do you have a compressor map for it?
