One turbo says on it Garrett A/R .48 M10,I need to know the information about this turbo like how much psi it produces,what kind of cars does it fit and whatever other information you can give me.The other turbo says MHITCO5-12 DUCM,I also need to know how much psi this one produces,what cars it fits and whatever other information you can give me.It would also be good if someone can tell me how much theese turbos cost new and their estimated value used(mhit turbo is just the turbo and the garrett turbo has the manifold.

The A/Rs you stated are some general numbers. Having the number from the cartridge stamp will assist you with your quest.

The 2nd one is a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries turbocharger from the Mitsu/Dodge StarQuest line of cars from the late 1980s. The Star Quest owners typically don't like their own turbos. They were a very underpowered turbo made originally for the 2.4litre Mitsu Fuso truck engine, and was only for lower torque up to about 3000 rpms. There is no power to it, and no, it will not hold at readline because the wastegate is only set to 7psi.

TTT

The first one is from a 2G DSM. It is a T25. it craps out around 225hp. It also has a round DSM style inlet and a 4-bolt Mitsu outlet.

Don't get him excited, its 225 CRANK HP, and even that is over 15psi of boost on a DSM. Either way, BAH!!

Damn... Mac you should have just told him what is was to begin with. **** you have had a 2G DSM before....

Not a Starquest turbo, but similar. TDO5H-12a it what you would find on a SQ and you can push 'em up over 7psi with the stock wastegate easy. Nothing wrong with the 12a, just a little small as it tends to die off after 5k on the 2.6. Spools pretty quick though and you can never have enough torque. Popular mod for the 12a is to swap in a 14g or 16g compressor turbine and mill the housing accordingly. Great mod for $100 + machining.

You're right, I stand corrected. There was a change b/w 1986 and 1987 for the turbocharger. It was used from the Pajero and 4D55 2.3 Litre engines, and a small amount of the 1986 Starquests in the U.S. The TD05 came into play in late 1986 in mid-production. This was from the 1986 model. They used the TD05 up until about 1989.

Thanks for the reminder.

The OP can do what he wishes, but this is not a "great mod" by any means for the effort he's going to put into to get out of this turbocharger.

I was thinking about keeping one and selling the other.Anyone know how much each is worth used?Also which one would be better for a sohc vtec d15b civic and if I get a dohc vtec in the future which one would be best for a dohc vtec?

Worth about $50 bucks. They make awesome paperweights if they were bronzed

fryman

Haha.Thats bs.We're talking about two functioning turbos.They must be worth more than $50.Even if their only good for low end torque they would still be good for a twin turbo setup right??

drumking15

ummm hell no...if they were worth more id be selling mine like 6 i have...the just cost more to ship than there worth

DSM T-25's are pretty much worthless. DSMer's can't hardly give them away. About all they're good for is for someone who's looking to break-in a new engine before they slap on their GT40.

I don't know if you were planning on using them together in a twin setup? Probably not the greatest plan. One good turbo would be better than those two put together.

No, not necessarily. They may be functioning, but you have a couple things against you. 1) they're used... VERY USED, with old wastegate diaphrams.. 2) they're not in much demand in MANY markets to be used on anything. Only those that are looking to restore would use them. Ok, I'll be nice and say $75. that's about it..

fryman

Wow this really sucks...I thought they we're at least okay turbos.Well I mean their still turbos...So maybe I can use one.I heard turbos blow the sohc 1.5 honda civic engines...so since theese dont pump that much psi they shouldnt blow my engine right?Which one would be best for a D15B?Any ideas on how much whp i would gain?And no I wouldnt put two small turbos on a twin turbo setup haha.

Not enough power to warrant such a use, honestly. But give it a try if you'd like.

fryman

Yea I guess I'll give the garrett A shot since it has the manifold and all.Im not very experienced with turbos so I'll need a little help.I know you have to hook it up to the oil system some how and I need a blowoff valve I think....

What all do I need to hook it up?
Is an innercooler required?
Do I need to do anything special to my engine so it can handle a turbo?

4g63powered

First off, thats a DSM manifold. Highly unlikely that it will fit your Honda.

Secondly, search. And please, don't do anything to your car until you've done so.
