I just wonder which turbo is better to be use and what is the price range for a turbonetics 60-1 turbo and a precision which one is best to use and why, also what is the price different between the both.
I got an offer on a precision turbo
and turbonetics 60-1 with same spec.
But really which one is best. What are you guys using out there???

 

Precision

 

I have always used Precision turbochargers. They have a good warranty (one year or twelve thousand miles), a wide selection of turbochargers, use their own casted turbine housings, great customer support (from dealers and them) and most of their turbochargers use a good wheel combination. I have a Precision GT30R on the way right now. It's basically a Garrett GT30R with a Precision turbine housing.

 

anybody got input on the turbonetics 60-1??

 

precision my personal experience with turbonetics = blowing seals

How about if they both come with 1 year warranty would this make a difference??

 

what is really the big difference over the turbonetics and the precision??
Better seals that might be one what else really?

SC61 is not the only Precision turbocharger that comes standard with 360 degree thrust bearing

 

i wasnt shure on that so i didnt want to misinform, so do they all have the bearing?? if so then

 

This is what I got from turbonetics web site. Whics precision will compare to this??? Anyone knows??

The 60-1 Performance Turbocharger
Representing the careful marriage of a unique high flow/high efficiency compressor section teamed up with a T4 turbine section the 60-1 has proven itself in every competitive motorsport application from drag racing to Bonneville. Available with either the standard (4" inlet, 2.5" discharge) compressor housing or the 60-1 HI-FI ( 2 3/4" inlet, 2" discharge) compressor housing, the 60-1 will outflow any standard T04B with ease! (The 60-1 HI-FI will deliver approximately 90-95% of the flow capacity of the standard 60-1.)

The 62-1 Performance Turbocharger
The 62-1 represents TURBONETICS' efforts to produce a premium turbocharger for the engine builder looking for that extra "edge" of power. Based on hand selected compressor components precisely contoured on computer controlled machining centers, the 62-1 delivers an honest 10% greater airflow than the standard 60-1. The 62-1 is not for every one, but if you can handle its potential, the expense will be well worth it.

BOTH THE 60-1 AND THE 62-1 ARE AVAILABLE WITH THE EXCLUSIVE TURBONETICS "TUFF TURBO" OPTION FOR SUPERIOR DURABILITY!

 

anyways how good is turbonetics?
how good is precision?
Are both about the same?

 

Turbonetics customer service sucks. PTE's service kicks ***. I had a T'netics turbo that blew the seals and needed rebuilding, and it was a bitch to get anything done. Rod and the gang @ PTE run a top notch business.

 

Precision turbos have been proven numerous times on this site, as has their customer service

Turbonetics has had a bad rep. from awhile ago about blowing the seals or leaking AND they were known for having really shitty customer service. So think about it . . . . .

Turbonectics does supply quite a few turbos to ome of the Hot Rod and Pro guys, so maybe their higher line of turbos has more as far as quality control goes. I also *heard* turbonectics were alittle more friendlier now then they used to be.

bottom of the line 60-1 wheel was the **** . . . back in the day.
the SC61's GT wheel owns it now.

 

contact arturbo on this forum and be done with any turbonetics head aches (my personal opinion)

 

what is the price range for this kind of turbos if anyone knows?

 

dude the search function = your friend

check sponsors marketplace in forced induction. They can be had under $700 including shipping . . . but it'll vary as some vendors can give the homie hookup.

 

thansks for the help guys

All the SC series have the 360 deg bearing.

 

I didn't know this but turbonetics is using the 360 degree thrust bearing on all the new turbos and the 60-1
Trim 60-1
compresor-60-1
turbine you can pick stage II V etc...
I know a couple of cars running the 60-1 with no problems for over 3 years
The turbo is rated for 600HP + for 9 sec. cars
If all the inf. I was given is correct this might equal a precison turbo.
We really need someone that knows both turbos to the heart it seems like they might be a match and both might be same quality, using same parts, specs etc.
I'm not sure would someone clear this
