Default What does this turbo compare to?

Ok so ended up picking up a larger turbo than planned but I wanted to have room to grow.

This is the description:

60-1 master power with two backhousings .48 t3 and .63 t3. Specs: model #810039-048, a/r .70 air inlet 101.7mm air outlet 64.0mm, ind wheel 60.5mm exd wheel 84.0mm 52trim 6 blade. Exh t3 5bolt .68 and .48 included, ind wheel 56.00mm exd wheel 61.5 83trim 10 blade. turbo is rated for 600hp +.

I'd be running the .48 turbine housing. From my research I foudn its a stage 3 wheel. The trim of the compressor is 52 and the trim on the turbine is 83.

And lastly, will the turbo be able to make about 400-420whp on a 9.2:1 81.5mm b16 without being too laggy?

its going to be regardless. The compressor housing with the turbine wheel is rather a mismatch, but it will take over 15-18psi to get over 430whp w/ any efficiency.

good luck.

how is it mismatched? a t3to4e comes with a stage 3 wheel much like this turbo and comes with a .63 compressor housing and a .48 turbine housing (it is also offered with larger turbine housings obviously). is a .70 really that much bigger?

Well from what I can find this turbo is a tad bit larger than a t3t04e 57 trim if I use the .48 housing.

If someone else can back that up, or even correct me that would be awesome.

I think The Shodan is saying that a stage 3 .48 hotside is small and restrictive compared to the s-cover compressor its mated too. probably making it less effecient.

Yeah I'm aware its rather small, but I don't want to have a ton of lag.

Would the .63 housing spool by 5000rpm?

A 57 trim is a 50lb/min compressor wheel compared to a 60-1 61lb/min wheel in a larger cover. A smaller housing will not solve your issues in the way you think they will.

Your question is whether or not you'll reach maximum pressure on a b16 by 5000 rpms. The answer is yes, under 20psi. After that point, no.

Sorry. this turbo is mismatched for its power potential and use (at least from my experience)
