Cranked the boost up last night, and the freakin nut backed off the compressor wheel, and....well, you can guess the rest.

This thing is shrapnel.

Does ANYONE have a 14b (90-94 DSM 5spd turbo) with good guts?!! I need one like yesterday.

Sucks cause I gave away my good spare. :roll:

nick might... check ebay too.

Fuck, If I had the cash for a 16g right now, i'd sell you my good 14b. The cars in the garage for the winter, and I PLAN on getting rid of it, but I don't wanna leave the car turboless unless I have a new one on its way.

How short are you? :lol:

I'm reeeeeeeeally trying to not justify a s16g for a winter car

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 2:45 pm**

Well I'm broke, haha, so I didn't plan on the purchase till after xmas...

But how much are good 14b's going for these days? I guess I don't care about selling it right now. Whats your offer?

good shape? Idk $100-150?

just lmk

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:44 pm**

$125 and its yours, we can pull it off this weekend. I think I have the funds to get my 16g pretty quick. I see em on tooners with 10,000 miles for under $300. Here she is a year ago... I think I put on less than 5000 miles since then.

Get everything back together?

Thanks again man!

Car was back on the road by 8pm Saturday night. I tossed on my ported hotside and was good to go! No more bling bling polished compressor housing :cry:

haha, I guess I can always polish this one if I wanted.

Runs great!

Awesome! What are you gonna do with the junk compressor side? I would love to turn it into a nice mantle piece above my fireplace if you're just gonna throw it out.

Define 'clock'

Loosen bolts on the compressor or exhaust housing side, and either twist the housing to a new location, or remove completely and bolt to a new location.

Oh. No I don't think you can, or else I wouldn't have those ghetto ass IC pipes.

Well that is lame.

No, you can't clock them...but that would'nt have helped my cause any; not sure what that has to do with much. My concern was a blemish in the aluminum where a bent fin made a few rounds as the inlet curves around the blades. A quick refinishing with some 400grit would make it fine, but I was unsure of tolerence issues and would rather a tigher tolerence, so I just used the cold side of this 'new' 14b.

I was gonna hang onto the housing and use it as desk onrnament at work I think

FWIW, I've never seen a stock 14b hotside look so good. No cracks or anything.

only reason I asked if you could clock it was, if you can clock it.. you can remove the housings.

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 12:33 pm**

Oh, theres a high tension clamp. You can separate it, even on the car, but its mor of a PITA.

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 12:35 pm**

FYI, theres a guide pin that 'lines the housings up' but it is removable.

So, Yea, I guess they 'can' be clocked, but you'd have to run an extenal gate. Otherwise the stock mount wouldnt work with the arm.
