Hello everyone, I have recently acquired a 94 integra type r with some serious modifications including a turbonetics turbo. I am wanting to get the car tuned so that it runs properly, and it would help out alot if I knew what the specs are for the turbo. The only numbers I can see on the turbo is the sticker on the back of the turbo on the blue backing plate t-13580 I have to read this with a mirror and its very hard to get the right angle to see it if the serial numbers are this high, it could be t-43580. This turbo is new along with everything else on car but has been a project for a few years, so I guess that makes it old with 0 miles. This turbo appears to be oil only, it also appears to have a 4 bolt flange bolting center together, polished housing with turbonetics name and logo unpainted. If i can get the car on my rack I may be able to see an a/r stamp on exhaust side, but this is all the info I have for now, thanks in advance for any help you may have.

If it's t-1xxxx it's an older unit and won't be in the build computer. Can you confirm whether or not it's a 4 after the t-

Thanks Robert for the quick reply. I will look again today to verify the number after the T and get back to you this afternoon.

Hey Robert, I was wrong about serial number, I had someone with better eyes look for me, and the serial number is t-13590 it has a blue backing plate, 4inch inlet 2.75 outlet.

That number is too old to be in the system and a blue back plate usually means it's a standard shaft turbo for which there are no parts. If the unit is good I would just need the wheel measurements to tell you what it is

thanks Robert, Im not sure if i want to remove the turbo from the car to get the measurements of the wheel just yet I think I will go ahead and get the car tuned and go from there, I know the turbo was new when it was installed on the car. Is this still a good quality turbo if its only a standard shaft tubo, and what kind of bearing is used with a standard shaft unit? The reason I am asking is the guy I got this car from spared no expense on building this car, so im curious why he didnt get a top of the turbo to go with everything else on car.

Standard bearing is still fine it just doesn't have the thrust load tolerance of the larger units but for this car and motor i doubt it will be an issue. It's probably a T04B of some kind to be honest with you.

If this some sort of t04b what kind of hp is it good for?
And did they make a to4b with a 4 inch inlet and 2.75 outlet? The motor between block and head work done I have receipts for over 10k and there is another 5k+ in bolt ons on top that , so once again I am curious of what kind of hp the original owner was shooting for, when he had all this work done to this little 4 cylinder, so what the turbo is good for will give me some kind of idea, before I take it in to be tuned professionally.

Could be a 60-1 with that size compressor inlet. If it's a T04B it's good for the 300-400 hp range. A 60-1 is good for the 500+ range

Now I am really curious about what size it is maybe I will take it off the car and measure the wheel this weekend. Thanks again for your help.
