13G vs. 13C Turbos - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

VR4-mike · 04-22-2008, 08:06 AM

Time to rip out the block again, and While ive got it out, im gonna upgrade the turbos. I was originally thinking 13G's, but I found a pair of 13C's for sale..... not sure which to go with, or what the major differences are. I was told the 13C's were a little bigger than 13G's....... is that true? Any preferences....???

13cs are bigger. depends how much they are and what kind of power your looking for.

500 shipped. I just wanted some nice size turbos that will put out more power than the stock 9bs. Also, with 13's, you can use the stock fuel system correct?

13g or 13c What is the difference?

It is 2008 though so I don't even feel anyone should be using 13c's or g's, might aswell get 13t's which will outperform both the c's and g's by a good bit and they are cheap too.

A 3s pushing 350-375 whp is nice but 400-440 is that much nicer

especially when the cost is not that much. New 13g's run 1300, converted 13t's run 900-1200 for the set. You go figure out how much you want to roll around with.

yeah, but im really not lookin to spend $1000 right now. I can get the 13cs for $500 shipped

Kibwe Walker · 04-22-2008, 08:24 AM

Your only regret is that you could have gotten so much more for just 500.

Do everything else in anticipation of the turbo (clutch, fuel, IC, etc). Then get the turbos in. 13g's are a nice turbo but when the 13t guy next to you is making on pump gas what your 13g setup makes maxxed out that 500 doesn't look so bad then does it.

You can use the stock fuel system, but you most likely will not be able to get the max potential out of the turbos. The stock fuel system will not even support maxing out the 9b's so it's all a matter of how far you want to go.

Huh? See here.

13C's only flow 20 cfm/ea more than 13G's. If they're in GOOD condition - I'd go with those simply because it's such a good price. They're very compareable turbos to eachother, and you can expect to put out similar numbers with both of them. /end thread

thanks for the help. Im planning on upgrading the fuel system either way, I just dont have the cash at the moment.
