My T88 has a 4" inlet, so I am guessing this might be matched to a T78ish size? What did the turbo come off?

Ah, it comes of a truck:

Should be well suited to a rotary with its extra exhaust flow

Its also on the Evo forum:

Eeeeeeeeeebay turbo...
If you\'re happy with that, go for it. Stulus350/Pantelis runs one simialr and is happy. It\'s pretty impressive for the cost, certainly picks up well. Matching wastegate was turd though.
That exhaust housing looks tiny though! What\'s the A/R?

Certainly doesnt look like a pikey ebay one? Its a branded mitsubishi one (or am i just being a naieve fag lol)

I asked about the A/R And he didnt answer so im going to stick with my twins for now :) (easier and way cheaper lol)

While ive got you dude, would you be free at somepoint to cast a weathered eye over my rotors and housings (tell me if they\'re ....e or useable) :)

Pwease ;)

Any turbo with \'Turbocharger\' on the tag is eBay spec, basically!
As for the Mitsubishi part - Scepticism is my middle name. Conceptually.
I\'d put money on that being chinese generica.

I\'m not the man to inspect your housings dude! Someone else inspected mine for me! I know naaaathing!

Fair enough - I thouhgt it looked better than an ebay spec turbo lol :)
 
I just cant find the specs of the exhaust housing etc anywhere :(

it has a 74.5 mm turbine wheel....housing size is 18cm2...which is the smalles t you can get which would help spool.

Post by: - Fezcat - on July 11, 2011, 05:37:08 PM
so for ~£380 would be a pretty good buy?
 
What else would I need to run it? The w/g welds dont look ideal, probably do with filling and redoing?
 
Id guess, bigger injectors and ports (blocks going to get ported anyway)

people forget that Mitsubishi are a properly massive company... MHI builds everything from tractors to space shuttles and nuclear reactors.
 
no reason why it\'s not a genuine Mitsubishi turbo, just might not have come off of a Mitsubishi car (maybe a boat or something :D).

Bump this up :D

GT4094R with 1.06AR turbine housing and GT42 94mm compressor wheel, roller bearing core.

T4 flange - Would it be any good on a rotary and what supporting mods would I need?
