Default What turbo is the stock wrx turbo comparable to?

And could it be used in a custom turbo setup for an 00 DX (stock motor)?

And what would a good price on the stock turbo be (18k miles)?

good price but i already am talking to a friend about this deal.

bump for anyone else interested though.

are the housings oriented on the wrx turbo so that it would be an easy install or are the oriented different than say the greddy 15g?

If they arent positioned for easy installation on a d16 can the turbo be disassembled so that the housings can be rotated?

The turbo that comes on the 02+ American WRX is a Mitsubishi 13G. It also came on the 89-94 automatic turbo DSMs. The Greddy Civic EX turbo kit comes with a 15G turbo, so it is smaller than that. $200 is a bit pricey in my opinion. Check out http://www.dsmtrader.com and get you should be able to find a 14b or t-25 for less than $200

Hey man pass some of that stuff my way. Just as stated Auto 1G DSM's. Aint that bad of a turbo. Usually the only problem with factory turbo's is they are both oil cooled and water cooled. So you have to run coolant lines.

Oh geez. No kidding man, why else do you think factory turbos come like that? I'm not saying that is a problem with the turbo, I am saying trying to hook one up to a Honda or non-turbo vehicle is more challenging.

Just to update this so people don't go around thinking its a TD04-13G.. The WRX turbo is a TD04L-13T.

The "T" wheel gets jiggy "uptop", but the TD04L housing makes it spool like crazy.

It will lose a little power up top, but not like the TD04-13G 1G dsm turbos.

factory turbos come like that because people who drive turbo scabs and volvos don't let them idle down and they need to last 200,000 miles. Most people just don't hook up the water lines, which fine do if you idle your car for 45sec after getting the turbo hot. So it's just like any other aftermarket turbo to install.

Oh and for a WRX turbo 100 bucks max. it's even small for your little engine.

i'm using the td04L off '02wrx and it's an excellent turbo. running 10psi and it holds to redline, spools quick, and allowed me to keep a/c with my ghetto built kit. they are supposed to be good to 15psi.

So a turbo that produces 227hp in a 2.0L is "too small" for a SOHC 1.6L?

If your goals are realistic and you're using a STOCK motor, you shouldn't be running anything larger than like, a 14B @ 10-12psi anyways.
