i thought they were the same? or is the DSM only AWD version

[boostfed]

up until 99 is a DSM. thats when chrysler dropped off the mitsu eclipse game.

[mazdax3speed]

i killed my turbo tonight after killin kyles car 2-3 times, my cars fucked right now, smoked up the entire highway i couldnt see anything at all, yeah im pissed and nervous, thats all for tonight......motors ok....

[piso]

god dude, that sucks man... hoope nothing too big is messed up

[sloweclipse]

sounds like a seal went bad... upgrade time

[Silvia96]

That scared the shit out of us! We thought somebody had died! All of a sudden the entire highway, all 4 lanes, was completely covered with smoke. Good thing you're all right, and it was just some seals and not your motor.

[mazdax3speed]

it was SOOOOO much smoke, i couldnt see a damn thing out any window...defenitly laid a big terd in my pants, but it was pullin like a champ until the weird poping noises...that turbo defenitly had it comin...seeing how the second day with the motor we found that it sucked up a paper airfilter at some point in its life overseas, owell itll work out

yeah...on the prowl for a new one now...and fixin the DailyDriver Saturn wagon too
by the way Eric i need some help from you or Tim, trien to find a Gt28r from an s14 or s15 (its the same turbo that matt had in the coupe), or possibly another t25, but do you know of anywhere or any 240 forums i should check? im kind of lost on this one
oh and while looking for turbos...i never really understood the deal....but should i look for internal or external WG...if it makes a difference i want to run around 14 15lbs if i can with a bigger turbo?....i was on 12 with the tiny one

[pirate87]

if you've been running internal W/G stay that way. I think you have the right idea, going with a nissan turbo. I dont know exactly, but I think most Silvia turbos except for the S15 had ceramic turnines (ie. they shatter at about 14 psi.) Check out carolinanissans.com and nicoclub.com both hav good classified sections.

what u guys think, seems like alot to me? its only the first reply ive gotten so far so im defenitly still lookin

[pirate87]

well, it is near new, and it is a reputable commonly used turbo (nicknamed the disco potatoe i believe). I guess it comes down to paying extra for the ball bearing (GT series are ball bearing right??). It would be fly if you've got the coin to drop on it.

[mazdax3speed]

yeah, ive heard that name used before(disco potatoe), and i was lookin for a ballbearing, but i can find a new one for 700-800 and this guy wants 600....i guess ill keep lookin around and if this guys still got it in a few weeks ill lowball him
im not sure if all GT series all ballbearing or not, but that does sound right?

im gonna keep my eyes open and keep postin turbos i find up to get advice, thanks

[Below85]

yeah something blew up and something told me it was you before i even saw it.........Good news your turbo gave out before your motor did haha....i wonder if you can find a DSM turbo like my 16g and have an adapter plate for it...buy thems shits for 450 brand new with the internal wastegate.
