Using an Inline-Pro manifold, Arturbo type DP, 3"cat and 3" Thermal.
I know it probably won't spool for a while, but I'm looking for top end anyway!

And, which one and where can I get "decent" price on one?
Are these available in a BB center section.

it'll be tricky trying to get that 60-1 to fit in there with the fan and radiator

ZygSpeed

I have a C& R twin fan radiator sitting here in my appt., still in the box.

At the moment I still plan on using the turbo that came with the Drag III kit for the ITR, with Hondata.
But I really only want to do this once, and then keep it running for a long time thereafter.
I'm sitting here trying to find some compressor maps and do a few calculations. Thanks, Ed.

P.S. the avatar pic is an old HKS unit for my 1st gen Si.

Ed, IMO I think that turbo is too big for the road racing you want to do. Just a suggestion but I guess it doesnt hurt to try..

ZygSpeed

Art, I'm sort of looking for top speed at this point.
And I'd like to be able to turn the motor to 9K or so, therefore the big pump.
Then again, this is my first turbo job so I shouldn't get too greedy.

Looks like I'll have to settle on roadracing either the 85 or 87 CRX Si's.

Thanks Art, ... Ed
I almost gave up the quest for doing 160-180, till I saw that T60-1 in the display case @ Inline-pro earlier today.

It will work great.That is what I have.As far as where to get it,see sig.

You will need to trim the fan mount brace near the compressor. If you are not going to boost 14~16psi the 60-1 compressor will be useless since that is the sweetspot for them. The control boost creep use a 2.5" dp with a 3" or larger exhaust,

ZygSpeed

Thanks guys.
With respect to the fan, the C&R rad is not as thick as the Fluidyne's (only about as thick as stock), and the SPAL fans are rather thin as well.
I'm having an ITR block and crank built w/GE sleeves/rods/coated 9:1 pistons ... so I do plan on being able to run a bar or more depending on gasoline availability.

Frankly, I'll register the car in Ohio (instead of VA) if I have to.

I already anticipated the shear size difference between my t3/t4 and the 60-1 t3, so i mounted auto zone fans in front of the radiator. Its a stock gsr double wide radiator with double 12" sucker fans. You might hit having the fans in front of the radiator, whenever the turbo arrives i will be able to see if keeping the fans as pullers will infact work.

ZygSpeed

I saw a T3 60-1 earlier today and it didn't look that much bigger.
Then again it was still wrapped in a plastic bag and in a show case ... and there wasn't much else to compare it with at the time.

my car has spal 2" fans

boosted hybrid

Check out this thread... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=182303 . That gives a nice shot of the 60-1 t3, w/.63 a/r exhaust housing.

I had (sold) a t3/t4 54 trim, .48a/r exhaust...it was big, but would be dwarfed by the 60-1 t3 in that picture. There was a post by someone awhile back comparing a t3/t4 and 60-1 in the same pic...it was a noticable difference.

Dee

I have a C&R in my car with a 57t T04E/T3 and the brace had to be trimmed!

ZygSpeed

Thanks for the pics/link.
Both/each of the Drag III and the Inline-pro manifolds have the T3 flange slanted a bit to allow room for the compressor (apparently).
Maybe I'll have to drop back down to Inline's shop again one of these days and see if they've fit a t3 60-1 in there without too much trouble.
I guess it should be bigger, right!!

Thanks for all the help.
btw- they wanted $899 for it. (the 60-1) Ed

Dee -- I see what you meant, interesting manifold too.

Slow *** 4dr can get them for 600.00 shipped. I ordered mine from him, should be showing up anyday now. If you order one get the compressor in the to4b housing so there is minimal cutting, and .63a/r exhaust housing.

ZygSpeed

Now we're talking!!!
Thanks everyone, good night. Ed

DragII

a T3/T4e should be fine....you might have seen my dyno plot from last week, my lil t3/t4b did give up 1 bit even @ 8400

Dee

Zygspeed.. that's a Kiwi mani!

ZygSpeed

So how then would my old t3/t04e 63 ar with a 53 ar compressor stack up @ 9K rpm +
(because that's what came with the ITR Drag kit I bought used last year)

Yum Yum, .... Kiwi's

for 9k rpm go with a 57t.

gt35

enough said

Dee

GT35?? why?? (3) 60-1/T3's can be purchased for the price of one GT35! If a GT has center housing problems you have to replace the entire turbo. If a normal center housing turbo encounters center housing problems you can overhaul it for less than $150. Yes, GT series turbos do fail! I have seen quite a few GT series turbos fail in the last couple of years! A GT3240 is big for a street driven Honda so a GT3540 would be a complete waste of money if you aren't boosting atleast 1.5bar of the happy pressure.

spool time

Dee

That excuse doesn't work with me since I launch in boost at 6500rpm. You street racer guys are funny. That 200~300rpm isn't worth $1200~1800$!
