Puked oil from where?

 

[coyotes]

Turbo drain. I didn't plug the hole when I removed it cuz nothing came out. But on an incline it leaked. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

 

[Jesus_Negros]

You have seriously interesting luck man

 

[coyotes]

Got the car unlocked, getting my turbo and manifold this weekend. Things are shaping up.

Here's a photo of my window sticker for fun.




and a pile of all receipts for the car since it was new.

 

[coyotes]

Got some new toys from Paul today, thanks!

big 16g ported by FP
Megan O2 housing
ceramic coated evo III manifold, also ported

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Is that a MHI 16G? The turbine housing looks funny...not MHI.

 

[coyotes]

 

[EHmotorsports]

the exhaust housing looks like the cast steel evo 2 or 3 housing.

 

[coyotes]

It has a FP stamp on the exhaust side inlet mating surface

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Looks like an Ebay turbine housing to me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

 

[coyotes]

I don't think FP is porting knockoff housings? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

What's the flapper arm look like?

 

[coyotes]

FP stamp. Haven't checked the flapper, the o2 housing is bolted to it.

[coyotes]

The number on the exhaust housing is 78-13700 070 F5

See the X04 stamped on the on the turbine housing? Just saying, looks like an Ebay housing to me, whether it came from FP or not. Not saying it's junk, just saying it ain't MHI, yanno? Who'd you get that turbo from?

 

[coyotes]

Yeah who knows. maybe someone can chime in who knows for sure.

I picked it up from thedsmguy (Paul) from Portland today.

 

[EHmotorsports]

070 is the stamping of an EVO 3

 

[coyotes]

How can we tell if it is an MHI? Would these numbers only show up on a MHI turbo?

So far though it seems to be a standard big 16g compressor housing with an evo III exhaust housing

Thanks for all your help guys. whether it's a knockoff or not it's going on my VR4. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
