Where to buy a 20g10cm turbo

I am looking to upgrade to a 20g 10cm turbo but can't find a place to purchase one. Or what is a step up from the 20g that may be easier to find? Thanks

Maybe this one?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130674719507?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

It has a 60-1 compressor wheel.

But it has an 8 CM turbine housing.

This turbo should hit boost really fast & hard,,, but will be restricted by the stock sized 8 CM housing.




Here is a 20G w/a 8 CM housing. It also has the standard TD06 turbine wheel which IMO is too small to begin with.

I had run a 10 cm housing w/my 20G turbo, & I would think there is not much difference in performance from a 8 CM housing. The 10 CM housing was pretty restrictive IMO. The 12 CM I had machined to fit the larger 20G turbine wheel seemed to have more of a mid end to top end power increase,,, but not by much. A little looser converter I would recommend about 2400 when running a 12 cm housing. I am using a stock converter & am getting by with it, but I know my Sy would most likely drop 2-3 tenths in the 1/4 mile w/a better converter. That would put me in the 11.70-11.80 range w/my stock engine. I can only hope.:roll:
My current turbo is a 60-1 compressor wheel, 20G (H) wheel & a 12 CM turbine housing.

How are those eBay brand turbos? Are they just as reliable as the Mitsubishi brands?

Re: Where to buy a 20g10cm turbo

I have no first hand experience, Mike tried one, he said the turbine wheel was too thick so it would not spool up & make boost. Forgot what the actual specs were on his turbo? Mike ?

Problem w/Mitsubishi turbos, they do not offer any good upgrades, a 20 G is a poor upgrade w/a 14 CM turbine housing & running a stock converter IMO.

For the price & offering different sized turbos for our Sy/Ty's I would try them out if I could not have machined my own parts I needed to make my current combo.

They have a 99% feedback of 16989 transactions. If I bought a crappy turbo from them I would definitely give them bad feed back.

Re: Where to buy a 20g10cm turbo

I am not opposed to going a little bigger, but what be a good next step up turbo? I would go PTE since I am planning on going with a different down pipe anyways. would like to keep stock converter if possible.

Re: Where to buy a 20g10cm turbo

Problem is, I believe the PTE turbo smallest A/R for the Sy/Ty turbine housing is .85?
If they made a smaller A/R, like a .63 or so, I think that would work better for a stock torque converter.

Once again, no problem spooling my 20g14cm on a stock TC. 0.0psi at 2100rpm, 10psi at 2800.

I'd probably be faster with a 3200rpm stall though........

Re: Where to buy a 20g10cm turbo

Lets see a video of how fast your 20H turbo spools w/a 14 CM housing & a stock converter.
What you say of no problem spooling your 20G could be a laggy slow spooling turbo to another.

0 psi @ 2100 RPM, are you kidding? 10 PSI by 2800, horrible IMO.

When my 20G was standard but w/a 12 CM housing it would get 2-3 psi in neutral by 4800 RPM

My current 12 CM housing can grab boost 5-6 psi by 4500 in neutral

When I used a standard 20G turbo ,but w/a 12 cm housing by 2100 I would see 20 PSI +

Like I said, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

So in my eyes, 0 psi @ 2100 is a major problem.:2cents:

That log is on the brake building boost for a launch. Look at my TPS, 10psi at 2800 is not a problem. It's called launching, any more rpm it spins the tires. No way in hell am I going to hold a camera while WOT from a stop. Believe it or not, spools as fast as a stock turbo.

You have posted a few times about having a stock TC but yet it stalls to 2800 rpm. I dont remember but i dont think i ever saw more than about 2300 rpm with my stock TC, and that was building 10-15# boost on the brake with the stock turbo.


Are you sure you have a stock TC? Just asking, because 2800rpm seems really high.

I could see the brake is on & TPS %, I find it hard to believe your 20G spools as fast as your stock turbo, unless you had problems w/your stock turbo?

I do the same , hold the brakes, give a little throttle & watch the boost come in. I do not need to floor it by any means, not even close.

What times do you run w/your 20G? 60 ft 0-60 MPH 1/8 , 1/4 mile?
What times did you run w/your stock turbo as a comparison?

You are the only one on this board that says your 20G turbo spools as fast a stock turbo.
Is everyone else wrong saying bolting on a 20G turbo w/a 14 cm turbine housing onto a stock torque converter Sy/Ty (regardless of what wastegate actuator is installed,) causes the boost to come in slower?
The only way I see your 20G turbo spools as fast as a stocker is because you are hitting the nitrous button, or you have one of these turbos w/a 8 CM turbine housing , http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kinugawa-GM...Parts_Accessories&hash=item232b706194&vxp=mtr (BTW, not really a true 20G turbo)
, or you machined a 8 CM turbine housing to fit your 20G turbo. Or even a 10 CM turbine housing will spool quickly.

BTW, having L35 heads & a 20G turbo is not a good comparison, as to stock heads & a 20G turbo.

I also have a stock TC & have brake boosted to 19 psi, no wheel spin & noticed my converter actually brake stalled to 3025 RPM. I watched it many times when I recorded my runs while tuning w/TP5, & I did not believe but the recording proved it.
Normally if I brake boost to 5-8 or so PSi, I see the RPM of 2100.

If your 20G turbo spools as fast as you say it does, good for you, all I am saying is, that's not the norm.:2cents:

Peace!

0966Sy - What is your top end of the engine? I thought I read you had vortecs/L35s. If so, it's hardly a fair comparison.

Stock l35 heads, stock cam. I know it's a 14cm housing because its stamped onto it. And yes I'm sure it's a stock TC.

I cruise at 65 on the highway at 2,000rpm. No hard feelings, if your going to upgrade from the stock turbo you have to have at least a 2800 stall convertor. I'm looking into a 4200 so I can get out of the whole really fast. Should shave seconds off my ET
