WHAT ARE THE SPECS OF THE tdo5 14b TURBO

[93 LX COUPE]

i picked this one up once again from craigslist. the kid i bought it from had replaced it because he blew his other turbo. then he upgraded it to a 20g and has had it sitting for almost a year. the good thing is it has no shaft play at all and it has about 9,000 miles on it. it came with the down pipe, j pipe, actuator and the oil return line. all for $80 and about i'd say about $6 of gas.




can't wait to boost this bitch already.

when i mean specs what i want to know is what's the horsepower rating? what's the most you can boost out of this turbo without breaking shit?
other questions are where can i buy good or which ones are good oil return line,oil intake line,coolant lines, and air lines.

you have alot of research to do before you just "throw that turbo on there"

[drummersteve7]

if you wanna boost, reading is def required. but to answer a few of your questions:

what engine you running.
you can run up to 10lbs on stock internals high mileage with a great tune!
tune is the key as almost everyone will tell you along with non-ebay parts.

the dsm route is sweet, but what are your plans for the rest of the gear, such as:

manifold
wastegate (keep it internal)
bov
injectors

and if this is your DD you might wanna reconsider due to the fact that more power equals more problems.
so dig in there are a bunch of us that ran the dsm setups and the 14b is a quick spoolingturbo. we likie!!!

good luck! and dont stop regardless, but it is a drug and its hard to stop.

acc0rd_adicti0n: you have alot of research to do before you just "throw that turbo on there"

i have been doing research and i know more or less what i have to do before i slap in the turbo but that's why where here to learn from each other and each others mistake. thanks for the concern man.

THANKS drummersteve7 i inputted everything in red for you i appreciate the help

drummersteve7: if you wanna boost, reading is def required. but to answer a few of your questions: yea i know i have but couldn't find what i needed or didn't enter the right search words

what engine you running. F22A1
you can run up to 10lbs on stock internals high mileage with a great tune! thanks i was going to set it at like 8
tune is the key as almost everyone will tell you along with non-ebay parts. yea that's true. i got this guy in kankakee,il that tune with chrome. ebay is out of the picture for me man

the dsm route is sweet, but what are your plans for the rest of the gear, such as: if you look at my rides thread man i have been lucky lately. i picked up a 1g dsm BOV for $25 in indiana 2 days agoand a 1g dsm exhuast manifold for $20 in schuamburg yesterday and the turbo for $100 today in schaumburg aswell. shit if you ask me im doing pretty good on the turbo build with out a job

manifold got it
wastegate (keep it internal) got it
bov got it
injectors looking for them still

and if this is your DD you might wanna reconsider due to the fact that more power equals more problems. yea i know im not going cheap on anything at all man.
so dig in there are a bunch of us that ran the dsm setups and the 14b is a quick spoolingturbo. we likie!!!

good luck! and dont stop regardless, but it is a drug and its hard to stop. don't worry bro as long as i relapse into a bigger turbo then it's cool

where can i buy good or which ones are good oil return line,oil intake line,coolant lines, and air lines.

sounds like your on to a good start now...first you should check the compression on the motor and do a leak down test to see if your gonna have any problems...and 2nd the itake manifold will do you no good on this motor as it doesnt fit...only the exhaust manifold fits with a lil drilling...not a bad start.....as they said above the lif of your motor relies on your tune...and important non-ebay parts...unless it like intercooler piping...boost safe...its really hard to let go of boost...and theres no rehab center for it...

no worries. honestly, if you wanna learn jump into it.
reading is good but your knowledge increases with experience.

read the turbo installation instructions a bunch of times before you dig into this.
I did about 40 times. crossed parts off as I recieved them, good installation
instructions, for sure! and a ton of members who know what they are talking about.

thanks for the help man you have been really helpfull because the searching on this forum is kinda hard to find exactly want you want. if you enter exactly what you want you get a bunch of extra stuff that really has nothing to do with what you want

yea that's a really good write on the turbo install and i have been crossing stuff from my list. i have read it like 10 times. about knowledge i use to be an all motor guy but it gets expensive and i also sold my car aswell when i was 20 years (88 hf crx fully built b16 head with a b20 stock bottom whooping people ). now about turbo i could say i need a little bit of schooling because i don't want to blow shit up.
