i was wondering when a turbonetics t3/t04e (.60 ar compressor, .63 ar exhaust, 60 trim with a stage 3 wheel) will start to spool on a b16a2 with a lovefab sst mani running about 10-12 psi? searched and only found b18c1 spool times. thanks for the help guys.

 

help me out here please.

 

bumb cause i want to know too

 

It's hard to tell you exactly what RPM the turbo will spool. There are too many factors involved. Compression, ignition timing, cam timing, a/f, head, exhaust, etc. all contributes to turbo spooling.

 

Are you running stock compression?

That's a good sized turbo, don't count on it spooling as fast on your 1.6 as it does on the B18C's.

As green_GSR said there are many factors contributing to spool time.

 

im using 9:1 compression, in general which turbo will spool faster, the t3/t04e .60 trim, stage 3 wheel, .63 ar exhaust or the t3/60-1 stage 3 wheel, .60 trim, .63 ar exhaust? is this trim too big for a b16a2 that wants 400 whp? please tell me the size of a t3/t04e and of a t3/60-1 that will spool quickly but still pull hard up in the 7000rpms.

why would the t3/60-1 be a better turbo for higher boost than the t3/t04e if the t3/t04e has the bigger exhaust housing than the t3/60-1? why do more of you guys recommend the t3/60-1? my goal is 400whp.

 

Well....do you plan on 400 whp at 10-12 psi???? If so, I don't know if thats attainable at 9.0 compression. If you want 10-12 psi, get a t3. If you want 400 whp, I would say get a t3/t4, or maybe a super 60 t3.

You want to get the smalles tturbo that will reach your goals. Go too big and anyone with a brain will make fun of you for wasting your money and your shitty spool time.

 

my ls with open dp with the 57 trim .60, .63 full boost at 4500-5k. so im thinking 4k ish

 

Friends car spools full boost at like 4200 rpm on his b16 w/ 57 trim .60/.63 a/r.

 

yea sir kid is correct around 4200

 

so whats the difference between the t3/t04e and the t3/60-1? why is everyone going with the t3/60-1 over the t3/t04e? just wondering what the difference is and why a t3/60-1 is better on a b16 that will boost 10-20 psi. the t3/t04e spools at 4200 and when does the t3/60-1 spool? thank you all.

similar to mine... b16a2 stock CR, .57 trim, .63 a/r, stage 3 wheel, full boost at about 4k-4500 rpms open downpipe.
