Welcome Jake R! If you think you even MIGHT go with bigger injectors, run away from a 14cm non w/g. 14cm w/g is the cat's bananas for a hybrid. 12 w/g works to a point (about 250 rwhp) 16 is a nice compromise, especially for an auto-equipped truck.

 

What size turbo housing on 91 1\2? where can i get a cheap 14 WG? I thank you much for everything

 

Should be a 21 cm. It's cast into the side of the housing towards the firewall. A flashlight and an inspection mirror will tell you what you want to know.

No such animal as a cheap 14 cm wastegated housing. I considered myself lucky to pay $300 for a used one. If you want instant spoolup, switch to a used 12 cm off a 2nd gen, with the knowledge that you will have to change it once you go to bigger injectors. You ought to be able to scare one of those up for around $50. Then you can resell it when it comes time for a bigger housing.

 

hey wanna what do you have to do to put a 12 on an hic

 

Nothing. You will have to move the exhaust back a little because the wastegated housings are a little longer. Manual trans trucks will probably experience some low RPM/ heavy load turbo surging, this can be cured by changing to a compressor with MWE slots (WH1C, HX-35, or any of the HTT upgrades).

 

FWIW, I never got the surge...or bark...or anything like that. The only thing I can think is that the baby H1C just doesn't move enough air to get all bound up?

 

That may be. The trucks I'm familiar with that had a surge (mine and Alec's) are both intercooled 5 speeds.

Nobody with an automatic ever seems to have suging issues, probably because the TC doesn't load the engine hard enough at low RPM to build boost into surging territory.

 

hey dustyratcliff ive got a 93 with 21cm were do i find a 16cm or should i go with a 12cm

 

A 93 should have an 18.5 housing. Mine did anyways.

 

YOU MEAN A 12 housing bolts on the hic housing if y get it right thas nice to no

 

Yes, the 12 cm bolts to the turbo with no modification. The exhaust is what needs to be moved so everything fits.

 

THANKS MAN see im a cheap bastard and everything around here is $$$$$ so a 12 is another way to go there was this guy that was supposed to give me a free 18.5 but never herd from him again but if i have to pay $$ im gona get a 16 that seems to be right in the middle of all the guys are using cause the only thing im planning is maybe a 12 ,18,5 or 16 with maybe pods and governor 3200 springso im guessing either housing will be enough anything better than 21

 

A 12 cm and POD's is not a real good combination. The 12 cm is way too restrictive unless you turn the pump down some.

 

would it be good for 190s bosh or should i go with a 16 or 18.5 housing just to be sure

 

Tow rig or play truck? For a play truck I'd be real tempted to run the 12 cm wastegated, with some porting and a drilled divider of course. On a working truck I'd want the freer breathing of the 16 cm.
