help needed fp18g or greddy 18g turbo

[spyder_dsm]

well like the title said i need help with these two turbo. Which one is better then the other? and i know that the fp 18g bolts up to my manifold but what about the greddy 18g, does it bolt up to my mitsu manifold too or will it not?? reason why i'm asking is because my buddy has a greddy 18g turbo and he is selling it to me for a good price. any help will do and if this topic has been beaten to death I'm sorry couldn't find it anywhere. and thanks ahead of time. please help LOL.....

Does the FP 18G have the SL2 turbine wheel? If so, its probably better. The greddy 18g...any idea what turbine housing is on it? If you don't know, I'd be enclined to SKIP BOTH and get a basic evo3 16g, brand new. Skip the BS.

Also, moved to Turbo Tech. Not a Project yet

Sorry about that. The FP 18g is the sl2 turbine wheel. The greddy turbine housing is TDO5H. But I'm getting a kick ass deal out of the greddy 18g tho. Still in good condition no shaft play at all? it was in his JDM b18c for 1 week and he blew his motor so he just want the money to buy new piston. he wants $200 for it only. Nothing wrong with it what so ever just a little rust on the wastegate. I have the E3 16g and don't get me wrong and all I love it, But want to try a little something bigger not to big but bigger with a little more hi-way top end also street too LOL and the 20g is way to out of the price range and the 50trim is too big and not to much of a street turbo for my GST.

[spyder_dsm]

Help me please anyone, anybody the Greddy 18g turbo TDO5H is off of an B18C. Will this turbo bolt on to my mitsu flange and o2 housing with no problem?? any help will do.

[scheides]

Get a picture of it. Post it up. The 18g is not a stock turbo on an integra, so who knows what it is

[4g63tcrazy]

Your friend doesn't know what the exhaust housing is flanged for? I'm sure he does, or at least should know..

[awd-drifter]

like what Scheides said, get a pic and I'm sure we could tell. I'm leaning towards that the greddy turbo won't fit on your stock manifold. If by anychance, just get the FP18g.

[spyder_dsm]

here is the picture of the Greddy 18g turbo. Seems like he order the whole set up from greddy the o2 housing part is a greddy along with the manifold. Both those parts has greddy logo on it kind of rusty so couldn't get a good picture of it but hope these picture help you guys out to help me out on this good deal. thanks guys

That's a t3 hot side. It won't bolt up to your stock manifold without an adapter.

[spyder_dsm]

realy so it wont bolt on like what there site says huh. how much is the adapter and where can i get one sites, ect would help. And then what about the side where the o2 housing goes to do I need to get an adapter for that too because mitsu o2 has 4 bolt and this one has 5 bolt on the o2 housing side. right under the housing is the 5th bolt. anything will help please.

[4g63tcrazy]

You would need to get a manifold adapter, new lines (water lines, oil lines) and somehow get you're downpipe to bolt up to that o2 housing. I don't think it's worth it. In the end you could have a bolt on turbo that cost's the same that is just as good as that turbo. Save yourself some work and possibly money.

[spyder_dsm]

thanks for the info guys. where can I find the adapter and install kit for this turbo??

[asshanson]

I'd say you're better off getting a t3 manifold instead of a dumb adapter plate that will probably leak exhaust, trust me I had a stock manifold that was ported out square, plus a plate and all that BS. Either get a mitsu housing or a t3 manifold for that guy.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Should have gone with the FP 18g. It would have been way easier to install, and still would make the same power. By the time you get done buying all the needed parts to install this turbo, you'll have probably spent more than if you had just gotten the FP. (Assuming you already bought the Greddy turbo)

[spyder_dsm]

nope haven't bought the turbo yet. thats why I turn to my helpful dsm'er for help. LOL thanks alot guys for the help now at less I can finally move on with the next step of my project buying the FP 18g LOL... Thanks alot guys. Now that I'm thinking of it Maybe even going with the 50trim. does anyone have a 50trim on a GST. can I get an input on how it is ect... thanks
