Snail Billet Compressor Wheels

[Stoffa]

I entered a competition on facebook and won a billet wheel.

I\'ve asked for a big 16G 10 blade, will find a tdo5 and get it modified to fit, worth a crack they normally sell them for $250US

[Joker]

SCORE!!

[Stoffa]

Just got a message from snail turbo, the wheel is on its way. turns out the big 16g is extended tip as well, the same design as garretts gtx wheels.

Ive had a bit of a search but cant find many results online.

Does anyone know if the compressor cover off an evo td05 big 16g will bolt onto a subaru td05? Need to round up some parts to make it work

[funkytown]

stop fucking with the voodoo science chris . mean score but yer..

[Stoffa]

Dont worry not spending crazy money on it but worth a try. Easy enough to find a tidy td05

Evo comp housing slightly odd dude find a pic of one. Cant see it working with your ultra smooth stock look.

[rex-leggy]

pretty sure a tdo5h is a big 16g

I dont know vorigan will but I thought evo 1 2 and 3 all had different variations of comp wheel 3 being the best. They all run slightly different numbers first 2 of second set by bad memory and vary in cfm. Not sure how subaru compare but they are mhi arent they I figured they werent big 16g for some reason? I have asked a couple of times on here though no response. Blade design/surface area/shape/blah matters as much as size does it not anyways?

This could be utter bullshit dont take it for gospel.

I thought td05h was a bit smaller? Heres the size of what im getting * In: 48.3 / Ex: 68 / Bore: 6.5 mm /10blades

edit...found wrx td05 sizes on a trademe listing In: 46.5mm / Ex: 60mm / Bore: 6.5mm

[Stoffa]

one of these would make it work easy enough

That was quick 4 days from Taiwan

 random quote from my notes said:

put it this way,

EVO is not Subaru, so what they put into evos is irrelevant to RAs.

However, early WRX/RA/RA STi use MHI\'s TD05H Turbo housings - this is 100% correct.

But, the compressor housing on those turbos is in fact using smallest 16G wheel

So, on impreza we have Small 16G

There is aftermarket, "Big 16G", the compressor wheel is really bigger than of small g.

See the picture

Then, there is sth called "Super 16G", which is put on evo3 - which in fact costs even more than 18G.

\

I think I found it (the proof that early WRX/RA/RA STi has Small 16G), go here:

http://www.stealth316.com/2-turboguide.htm

See, the MHI Turbo Nomenclature part, and scroll to TD05H-16G-7cm2 :

small 1.830"/2.365" compressor wheel

- number: 49178-05200

- cartridge number: 49178-09090

- repair kit number: 49178-81200

Now, if you look at your compressor housing on an early WRX/RA/RA STi \'s you will find

similar(same) numbers.

\

Actually,

I have my \'96 16g sitting right here in my office. It\'s got different numbers. 49178-06310

Can you translate that for me?

\

...I have my \'96 16g sitting right here...

Just measure the compressor wheel then:

The small 16G compressor wheel is 1.83" at the inducer and The Big 16G is 1.89"

[vorigan]

its not a 16g theres no secondary splitter blades as more than likey doesnt come with any comp map to show what it can really do, cnc are a great thing but coping someone elses wheel then down sizing doesnt mean its a good thing

[Joker]

looks a bit ruff on the tip doesn\'t it? ie not completely round, appears to be chipped?

[Stoffa]

The not round bit is where material has been removed to balance it.

Got a turbo specialist checking it out later this week to see what he thinks

[Optical]

looks like a scaled down GTX compressor rather than a billet 16g?

same primary and secondary blade height and extended exducer tips

thats what I thought, but it does have Big16G dimensions. I did have the choice of quite a few but 18G and 20G wheels looked like exact copies of genuine wheels and dont think I would have tried putting a taiwanese 3071 into an expensive garret core. Think I\'d much rather test the waters with a cheap and cheerful TD05.

if it lets go at 1.5 bar probably the worst that might happen is damage my FMIC core

[vorigan]

theres is countless wheels on the market that share the same dimensions it by far doesn\'t mean they work the same intercoolers are great at catching the big bits........

[Stoffa]

oh, do the small bits make it through still?

[funkytown]

oh yes! lol

[vorigan]

whats that saying in life?

"its the little things that matter"

Good a place as any to post this

Opinions?

[vorigan]

i seriously hope people read and understand that but i doubt it still not my money, good find evowrx i had another to post but like most things i say its a waste of time

[Guest]

Put it up on your facebook then people read it on there. This is accurate info above then? I didnt read it in full just thought with all the talk about billet made me wonder if they redesigned the wheel to make it better then made it billet for kicks.
