Re: So people understand the difference between a stage 3 and stage 5 wheel... (FFgeoff)
so stage 3 is about 2.25in. across and stage 5 is about 2.5in.??
Will that mean more lag for the stage 5 since it's bigger or just pushing more air but the same spool up?

The angle of the blades also looks different.

Re: So people understand the difference between a stage 3 and stage 5 wheel... (TurboDANDEE)
ok so the stage 5 is bigger but for a B18C will it make a BIG difference, going for 500hp. The garret (T3/60-1 (.82 AR) stage 3) is a lot cheaper than turbonetics (T3/60-1 (.82 AR) stage 5) but i don't want to sacrifice performance for a couple hundred bucks.
so which one???
thanks
so which one???
thanks

in my opinion, you should be able to get 550whp out of the stg 3 and also have less lag than using the Otrim wheel(stg 5)

I'm using a 60-1, stage 5 wheel and the exhaust wheel/outlet size is about 2.5" so that is right on. My lag isn't too bad, takes a little more RPM to spool the turbo up but once it does it comes on strong.

Re: So people understand the difference between a stage 3 and stage 5 wheel... (CHEAPTURBOdotCOM)
To be exact on the specs Stage III has an exducer diameter of 2.229"/major diameter 2.559", the Stage V exducer 2.439"/major 2.798", The T4 wheels N trim exducer 2.071"/major 2.922", O trim exducer 2.296"/major 2.922" and P trim 2.544"/2.922". So the Stage V wheel's exducer is actually bigger than the N and O trim's but the major is smaller than all T4 wheels. I myslef have a T3/60-1 Stage V wheel .82 A/R turbine housing, may eventually go to a straight T4 or T61, we'll see after the motor is back together. HTH Geoff I'll be getting in touch with you hopefully this week.

Re: So people understand the difference between a stage 3 and stage 5 wheel... (FFgeoff)
Geoff, is it correct that the stage 3 wheel on turbonetics' is the highest, and stage 5 for the garret's? When majestic upgraded my turbo, I was under the impression 3 was as high as I could go.

Re: So people understand the difference between a stage 3 and stage 5 wheel... (apexii)
the stage 5 wheel is only available on turbonetics, and innovative turbos, i am not totally sure about precision becuase i cant decipher their codes. I actaully am going to call them and talk a bit today.
SiRkid, youre gt30 is a superior design to a stage 5. Not much better but slightly better
FWIW FFgeokstar and FFgeon were over last night getting their breath all over two turbos, one is a 60-1 BB with stage 5 .63 a/r and one is a 60 trim t04e with a stage 3 .63 a/r
the ball bearing turbo (obviously) got going way faster than the other, but we tried to make a video on my digital cam but it was too dark. oh well maybe next time.
Boostfed, thanks for the info, i was told misinformation apparently...
