so... what creates the spool time for a turbo??? is it the compressor side or exhaust side??? i THOUGHT i knew, but im having so many people tell me weird things that iono anymore... i was under the impression that the hot side determined spool time and the compressor side would control cfm, am i right??? or does compressor have somethign to do with spool time???

 

they both control spool because if you have a large compressor side, that is a lot more friction than a small compressor side....it comes down to the trim of the compressor, the AR size of the turbine, the friction in the center section, the total rotating mass of the wheels and shaft, and the housing design (how efficiently air moves through the turbo)

If someone is smarter than i am, which someone is, please add or subtract from what i wrote...

 

i just figured with the 60-1 having a normal sized exhaust housing (.63 w/ stage 3 turbine), and a small compressor wheel, i figured it would spool faster than some seem to say, im having a rough time finding someone that has actually ran this turbo and not telling me second hand...

 

.....i have that same turbo

 

on what motor?

 

stock internal (for now) B18C1

CoreyR topmount
3" dp
Garrett T3/60-1

haven't tuned yet so i dont know when its going to spool.....

 

ic, well i guess we will see how it spools the car should be on the road tomarrow, so ill keep you guys posted
