ITS A T-25 AND THE MAXIMUM HP YOU CAN GET FROM IT IS 250 AT 16PSI

ok this is wrong info. the T25 is in the 2Gs.
in a 1990 GSX if its a manual(5spd) then you have a 14B (it says TD05 inprited on the housing) if its an auto I beleive they use a 13G??, not sure if I got the correct letter at the end of that one.

td05 is just the compressor housing used on many mitsu turbos from the 14b to the smaller 20g's. but since your car is a 90gsx 95% chance u have a stock 14b unless someone before you put in a 16g because without looking at the blades they are identical in outer appearance.

I think I have a 16G. Unfortunately I'm having trouble getting the (well what remains of) studs used to bolt it to the manifold out of it. the last owner wasn't too bright and snapped 2 of them off in the housing. Any ideas on how to get them out?? I've soaked them in liquid wrench and been using gator grip pliers still no luck.

those are the hottest bolts under the hood, I cracked a socket trying to get em out. I jus went to sears and bought a bigger wrench and it wasnt too bad.

you can run the car for a while first. metal expands when hot and it will come off easier after you heat em up.

Yeah except the turbo sits on my tool cart with those 2 bolts in it (Heads snapped off of course) and I'm STILL not able to get them... Perhaps a propane torch?

ok, so lets say it's a stocker. If I wanted to get over 300 hp, where do I start? I have 2 1/4" exhaust (no cat), 3A Racing muffler (Whatever that is), just ordered a Dejon Tool intake, K&N air filter. otherwise I think it's stock.I don't want to spend bunches of money all at once, and I can do most of the wrenching myself (maybe) Just remembered, I have a mbc also (how do you adjust those, and what is a "safe" level of boost to run?

What about a reverse tap?

Yeah I wanna get a reverse drill set and an easy out set.

On the 14B?? I have seen 18\19PSI but that is with at least a fuel pump dont run that much without fuel. on stock fuel I think 16 is still safe but id leave that one to the other DSM owners to answer

ok, so it's looking like I need exhaust (3"?, type?), down pipe (2.5"?, type?), whats next? I would like to be working my way to 350-400hp, or there abouts. Oh, I have a datalogger on the way also.

datalogger is a smart choice once you get something to tune your car with (safc, dsmlink) so you want 400hp? good luck. its not easy. eclipses dont need much power remember, thats enough for 10's. it will take a huge turbo and some bigge injectors/race gas. go 3" for the exhaust though. no point in 2.5" although even if u did get it it would be fine up to about 400hp.
