    Arrow 1989 2.5 T1 Top End and turbo

    Price: $60 for the head, $30 for the 1 piece, $20 for the exhaust manifold, $80 for the ported mitsubishi turbo. OBO

    Description:

    1.) A Chinese cast head that was put on my van 2 years ago and was supposedly for the turbo engine. It has 20k miles on it. It was pulling 21 inches of vacuum when I had it installed.

    2.) The turbo was ported as seen in this thread: 125k miles on it. The lines would not be included as I bent one of them during removal. It did not smoke and would max out at 15psi when I had it on my engine with the waste gate line unplugged, due to the ported waste gate hole.

    3.) A T1 1 piece manifold.
    4.) A T1 exhaust manifold.

    Everything worked fine and didn't smoke, but I blew a head gasket and decided to swap out the whole top end with higher flowing parts. I would prefer not to ship, and I am located in the Portland Oregon area. I will post photos soon.

    You could shim the wastegate can and probably get some more boost out of it.

    Yes at one point I added an extra spring on the actuator and got 20psi of boost. I checked out the turbo and the shaft play is fine, but the blades edges furthest away from the turbine side have some wear from what I assume was dust, though I ran a filter.

    If anyone is at all interested, send me an offer.

    Shelgame posted at one point that while he could get 20psi out of a mitsu for a while, the turbine blades would actually flex out from centrifugal force and grind themselves off on the turbine housing. He said after it finished 'self-clearancing' they would not make more than 16 psi on the same motor after that. That may be what was happening to you.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    The turbo could still make 20pi of boost, I just removed the extra tensioner spring. Also, I want to get rid of this stuff. PM me offers, worst I can say is no.

    I would be interested in the intake, exhaust and the turbo... dont really need the head itself! But I would need them shipped to Oklahoma 74403!
