ok, I have a t3 turbo .48 on the hot side, .42 on the compressor, I was originally just going to put it on and see where it tops off and go from there, but now I am thinking about buying a super60 compressor housing and wheel and having someone put it together for me, do you guys think I will need a new bearing housing for this to work? you guys got any good sites for parts or people that would do this kind of build up?

oh yea, goals are 250-300 whp on a d16z6, I am stubborn and refuse to move up to a T3/T4, I would rather have a broad power band with less peak HP than vise versa.

 

here are somes pics for the heck of it

I had that exact turbo on my car and it SUCKED!

 

how did it suck?

 

Not enough power. My new t3t4 works great.

 

how much power were you putting down with it compared to the T3/T4, also what boost levels were you running on each turbo?

 

I ran 5 pounds on each. I dont know the exact numbers, but it was a huge diffrence.

 

ahh, obviously same boost level on two different the turbos, the bigger turbo is going to flow more creating more power, anyhow I plotted some #'s against the super 60's compressor map and the guessed boost levels it's going to take to reach 250-300 put it in the compressors prime efficiency range, so back to the question fellas, do you guys think I will need a new bearing housing and can you point me to some good references to some one that could do this build up for me?

 

 

I belive the correct term is that it "BLEW" haha, anyway, that turbo would be good for a lower displacement engine such as a d series or even a b16 but I can see it being really ineffecient on a larger engine.

 

yea, I don't plan on using this turbo, the question was all about upgrading it...

 

Good idea. What you gonna upgrade too?

 

 

anyone??

 

someone must know something on the subject

 

not sure bout these people's reputation but its a shot

i would say you would make only 210 hp. get a turbo like the te .60 .63 good topend but kinda big for you engine

 

210 with a T3 super 60??

I've talked to someone on here from cheapturbo (I think that's where there from) was quoted a price that cost more than a new turbo

 

hard to believe no one knows anything on the subject...

 

Try the forum @ homemadeturbo.com...those guys are into the junkyard setups alot more...everyone on here is just gonna tell you to upgrade

 

I do not like junkyard ghetto set ups, I don't think anyone is reading the thread! I DO NOT plan on using the turbo as is, I want to upgrade it to a T3 super 60, just trying to figure out what all it would take/find a reputable person to do it

 

If you sell it let met know. Im interested in it. email : Athlonmank7@hotmail.com

 

if I don't find someone who can upgrade it for me at a good price, I will probably end up selling it, so I will keep you in mind

 

Thanks
