i was lookin on cheapturbo.com n there is a T3 super 60 that is internally gated. will i still be able to use this functioin on an auto ?? and will i be able to inistll it with 2.5 downpipe with AC ?


wiat nevermind .. its high performancc 60 trim.

 

with the right manifold, you could use a 3 inch DP w/AC

 

but if i rotate the housing. woul di still be able to use the internal wastegate function??

yes, you would be able to use the internal wastegate option. the actuator bracket just needs to be relocated to a different position after you clock the housings.

 

good stuff .. now is this just a brand new " factory" turbo off some type of car that uses it ?? whats the spool like on this with an LS integra ? and is that downpipe flange a standard 3 bolt exhaust flange ? tahnks

this is part of garrett's ballistic performance series, not a factory replacement.
the spool might be a little too soon on an ls integra.. the t3/to4e 57 trim w/ .48 a/r seems to run very well on a lower boost setup LS.
the downpipe flange is a 3bolt swingvalve flange ($20)

These are new from turbonetics. When buying a trbo from cheap tubo you are buying a cheap turbo. The turbos from cheapturbo.com arent the greatest quality in the world, they dont even have 360 degree thrust bearing, which I might add both Turbonetics ones that I have for sale do. By the way I got a buddy that has gone through 3 turbos from cheapturbo.com in the last 5 months, but he swears by them </TD></TR></TABLE>


is that true ???

also, my cars an automatic ... so i mean spool is arleady gonna be a big issue, but then once im in boost i wont get out of it, which is cool.

 

The turbo in the picture isnt a super 60....thats a saab turbo..... .48 and .42....Look on the housing.

 

The a/r of the housings have nothing to do with whether or not it is a Super 60. The Super 60 refers to the compressor wheel inside the housing.

I haver a super 60 and that looks exactly like mine. I had to cut the bottom front motor(94 Civic) mount to clear the wastegate. No big deal. I have full boost around 3000 and it seems pretty strong at 10 psi. I'm happy with it. The 3 bolt flange is a standard exhaust collector and you can buy them from Jegs for cheap. Although it is a 2 1/4 flange I used a 2 1/2 because they don't sell the 2 1/4. I just had to grind the bolt holes on the flange so it would line up with the turbo.

 

does yours retain AC ?

 

oh...Ok i guess im a dumbass....I though it was the ar on the housing.....Sorry for my ignorance.

No. A/C is not possible for me. I think you could possibly get away with it using a different manifold and maybe a custom bracket for the wastegate.

 

i hella wanna run this turbo but i wanna keep my AC for hot summer days ... tinker .. you sure itll work ? what do you think cheapturbodotcom ?

 

I have no personal experience with cheapturbo, but I have heard that there turbo's are not of the highest quality. I don't know if there is any truth in that, but that is what I heard. I know a guy that could hook you up. I can vouch for him being one of the most honest people in the world. Email him at bmilescrx@yahoo.com

He got me the best deals possible on a bunch of different parts.

 

Ah yes, the famous "what I heard" argument. Cheapturbo sells OEM Garrett products.

Sonny

 

I wasn't putting them down. I was just stating what I have heard. They could be perfectly fine, but like I said, that is what I have heard. I didn't see anything wrong with telling him what I heard. Wouldn't you want to know?

I heard they give away a turbo every three hours
It's the point no one wants there business to have a rep from "what people heard" , on another note has anyone here dealt with cheapturbo.com first hand?

 

Well how exactly are you supposed to judge a companies reputation? Trial and error? I don't think so. If people that have done business with them say they sell low quality parts, should I just ignore that and buy from them anyways? I'm just not into waisting money. Who knows, maybe the people that say they had turbos blow up on them were running them with a clogged oil line or something? I don't know, just word of mouth..........

you don't want to judge a companies rep on this kind of talk is all I'm saying, I could say "I HEARD they sell shitty turbos" then theres "they sold me a shitty turbo.."

see the difference?

 

moving ever so gently back to the TOPIC of this thread, yes the "super 60" as some people call it is your basic hybrid BUT and this is a big BUTT, it has a compressor wheel from a 60-1 .... which (rough translation from turbo john) in short means more boost at lower RPM, as long as you have the exhaust power to spool it.... i think thats what he meant anyway, who knows...... ditch the interal wg too

Um...no. The T3 Super 60 is a straight Garrett T3 turbo with a "Super 60" T3 compressor wheel. It is a slightly higher output version of the 60 trim T3 compressor. The T3/60-1 that you are talking about is a hybrid turbo that uses a T3 turbine and the T04S (60-1) compressor wheel.
