Hey guys,



I've been thinking about buying a new SC6152E or T3/T61 and then selling my Precision T04E 60 trim w/ stg 3 0.63 ar turbine. However Ken from Phoenixturbo gave me an idea in one of his posts.

What all would I have to swap out on the cold side to make it into an SC61 or T3/T61 or other equivalent turbo? is it as simple as swapping out the compressor fan and cover? or is there more to it then that? If I were to get it done by some place like Phoenixturbo, how much would I expect to pay for this kind of conversion? (if they even do them).

Thanks

ok I found some exploded diagrams of a T04B and I'm guessing the following parts would need to be changed.

-compressor backplate & large O-ring
-compressor cover
-compressor fan
-turbine fan/shaft (?)

Now I'm not sure about having to replace the turbine fan/shaft. http://www.turbocharged.com says that the T61 is a big shaft turbo and I believe the T04E has a standard shaft. Does that mean that the bigger T61 compressor fan and cover wont be compatible with the smaller T04E turbine fan/shaft?

EDIT: or are the big shafts only for straight T4 setups, meaning I can use the T04E standard shaft with the T61 cold side?

TIA

 

bump

?

EDIT: if I cant upgrade my T04E 60 trim to a T3/T61 what other options do I have? can I convert it something similar to the following: T3/60-1, SC6152E, TS04 cold side, etc.

So I was thinking that if I could get a GT3582R compressor housing, compressor fan, and compressor backplate then that pretty much turns my T04E 60 trim into a SC6152E. The only thing different is my turbo has a 270* thrust bearing whereas the SC61 has a 360* thrust bearing standard (I think).

The fan and housing I was looking at is the 56 trim (82mm exducer, 61.4mm inducer) and 0.70 AR housing.

so what do you guys think?

 

You need to balance after swapping wheels... not something I'd want to just "do" myself
