Default Can you upgrade a Greddy/mitsu turbo?

After getting a GReddy kit, can you upgrade to a larger mitsubishi turbo like a 16G? Or any other turbo thats bigger than the GReddy one? Thanks

the 16g is tiny.

Yes you should be able to upgrade to say a 20g or even better, a Precision.

510cfm is "tiny" in my book.

Especially when he already has a 18g (600cfm)


Shoot, even the TD05-14b out of the stock 1st gen flows 405cfm. The 16g isn't much of an upgrade.

Now, a FP Green or Precision that flows 750+ cfm. Now that's an upgrade.

Actually, its an eg civic... TD04-15G. 16G is good for about 380hp and 12-second quarter mile times (in a 1G DSM which is totally different but whatever). Precision turbos...where can I get more info on these?

Yeah, 380 Crank HP @ 1,000,000 lbs of boost.


So, this is a SOHC GReddy turbo kit he's refering too. Opps, sorry.


You can find out a bunch of info on this site. Go Search for "Precision"

Good luck, ask Arturbo any questions about presicion turbos.

How are the 20Gs on an SOHC... real laggy, i'd think... does anyone know where I can find a compressor map for a Mitsu 20G so I can see how a d16 matches up to it?

I wouldn't think the turbo manifold and downpipe would support it @380hp, plus 25psi is racegas only.

Look here, you should find all that you want : http://www.stealth316.com/2-3s-compflowmaps.htm#fm

and they're talking about a 3.0 litres V6 Twin Turbo engine, so for a SOHC, I guess this is a too big turbo.

you can get the 18g from the dohc kit and bolt it up i believe. but you will need a different downpipe.

He'd be doing that anyways (heard that the greddy dp was like 2 1/8 or 2 1/4")

If it's a twin turbo 3.0 then 3.0/2= 1.5&lt;1.6 so it may be slightly less laggy.
