Ok my gsr spun a rod bearing, i will probably fix it later down the road but i got a great deal on a b16 block with eagle rods and wiseco .020 over pistons 8:8 compression now i'm just going to use my gsr head which from what i read wont be much different except a slight bump in compression. I just want to build a fun car for the street with as close to 300whp goal as i can get i have a t3 super 60 on hand right now(yes i'm sure its the super 60, took it down to Michigan Turbo so they could tell me for sure) just wondering what you guys think will this fulfill my goals or should i sell it and look for something else i've read these max out around 300 whp but they spool very fast which will make stop light to stop light driving fun just need some advice from you guys thanx

 

The super 60 is probably going to be a bit small for 300whp, I'd go with some thing a bit bigger.

im going to have to agree here

 

what turbo then? any suggestions guys? what's the max whp would i get out of the super 60?

 

max out of the super 60 would probably 275 to maybe 300, but you will be running the turbo real hard to get the 300, creating a good deal of heat i believe.

the t3/to4e 50 or 57 trims are good for b series. if you want fast spool, get the .48 a/r, but it might create some traction problems

 

What turbine wheel and housing a/r?

 

How about the Disco Potato (GT28RS) ?

ok guys i was just reading this thread
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1049998
and it kinda has me leaning on sticking with the t3 super 60 but changing the hot side to .63 instead of the .48 to make sure it breathes in the top end... the guys that had the t3 60 seemed to love it and think it can support 300 whp what do you guys think? keep in mind street turbo not for the drag strip....

i'm trying to work with what i have unless you guys really think it wont support my goal thanks for the suggestion though

 

The 60 trim T3 compressor can easily support 300 whp if the properly matched turbine housing and turbine wheel.

I only mentioned the disco potato because it has been proven to make good power. People downplay the 60 trim T3 all the time, but that is the same compressor that is in the Disco Potato.

could you elaborate more? what turbine wheel and housing should i use that would easily support 300whp? thanx

 

as i kinda said before, you will be able to get 300whp out of a t3 super 60, it just wouldnt be, say the most practical turbo for that hp goal.

the .63 a/r will help you make a lil more power, but it will slightly increase you spool time.

the gt28rs is said to run out of steam at around 320whp...

 

60 trim with a .63 a/r housing, stage 1 turbine wheel will get you to 300, wouldn't expect too much beyond that though, a larger turbine wheel would help a bit, but that'll set you back another 200 once you have it re-balanced...

yeah i think i'm kinda leaning toward doing that for now at least...if i do some head work i should be able to get 300 with less psi though right? in other words less say i was making 300 at 18psi if i did a port and polish and lets say some stage 1 turbo cams i should make more hp running the same psi....is this correct or am i wrong about this?...

Ehhhhh, I think that goal is a bit lofty...I ran 14 psi on my 60 trim and I don't think I was making anywhere near 300 wheel.

you might be right but i'll try it out for now cause thats what i have available to me i guess i can alway upgrade the turbo later on if i'm not satisfied....
