Sorry to post this, but the search feature seems to be down. Wondering the pros/cons of the sc61 vs the gt35 and how they compare...
on a built/sleeved b18c
-anyone try both?
-pump gas #'s (15-17psi w/9:1 compression)?
-any other additional input?
-is the xtra $ worth it?
thanks for any help in advance

 

Check out http://www.evans-tuning.com in the dyno charts forum for charts so you can compare the two. I was comparing the two a while back and IIRC the 35R usually had better mid range since it spooled earlier. I believe it spooled about 1000 RPM's sooner then the SC61 and it had about ~100 more HP at mid range RPMs.

 

35R owns the sc61

About the only place the GT35R doesn't "own" the SC61 is in the price.

SC61 = poor mans GT35R

Actually, the GT35E = poor man's GT35R

 

i have a feeling he isn't comparing the sc61 with the 35R but with the 35E. Because there really isn't no comparison with the 35R.

IMO so is the SC61 with the S cover. Same comp housing a/r, same GT35R comp wheel just no BB. But the SC61 with S housing is priced at $800-$850. I believe that's the same price as the GT35E.

 

any other opinions? Any idea on the difference between the gt35e and the sc61?

...so between the gt35r and sc61 it isn't even a comparison?!?

 

as far as i know the turbos have the same compressor, just a different turbine.

from my experience, the 35r will spool a hair faster, has a ton better throttle response and will make more power than the sc61. i have never used a 35e

 

thanks

Yessir. Both run the 56-trim GT35R compressor wheel. GT35E uses the GT35R turbine wheel, while the SC61 uses a Stage V T3 wheel or a P-trim wheel.

 

u will be happy with the 35e
