Evo 3 16g turbo

[bmvenom]

Anyone out there using a 16g turbo with good results?

Yup, lots... I built my own kit using this turbo. CPI also uses the same one for their REV turbo kits.

Only issue with the 16G's is you need a high pressure oil pump to keep them alive.

Cpi used them on the 900 cats as well. I am running one on a 04 900 cat, works great, but like stated, need the high pressure oil pump, and run an oil gauge to make sure you always have oil pressure to the turbo. If you loose oil pressure and don't know it, you;ll toast your turbo right away.

Snowmanx, are you using the CPI graylor pump? I'm looking for a new oil pump that doesnt put a drain on my electrical system.

Oil pressure

How much pressure does this turbo need? I've got one too and I really like it, but was concerned with the oil pump as well.

I found a tech sheet from Mitsu.

11psi min. @ idle

42-49psi recommended @ operation rpms

.2 gal/min flow


I built a couple of mechanical oil pumps that run off the crank. They take place of the stock injection pump. They build over 60psi. PM me if anyone is interested.

Are these turbos TD04 or TD05?

Thanks

if your running a Garret yes, but a Mits no. I wouldnt recomend not running with oil pressure, but it wont burn up that fast. I have taken down oil pumps and not realized it. Also.. road it into town with no pressure 4-5 miles. No ill affects to the Mits...
