a friend of mine is selling his old turbo... that came on the car when he bought it.
it is a garrett a/r 60m10.. never heard of it





hes willing to let it go for around 250 bucks... is it worth it? i have no clue about the mileage but everything seems to spin fine.. also if you look at the inlet.. you can see that it was slightly cut for some reason.. i dunno if it was cause he had clearance issues of somethin...
has anyone heard if this turbo...
i;m planning on using this for a cp forged 11:1 compression motor...
preciate any guidance

 

$250 sounds a little expensive to me. You can find used evo turbo for that price which would be a much better turbo IMO.

Looks like a oem garret 60/63. Only worth 250 if its freshly rebuilt i'd say.

 

no save up and buy a good one you will not be dissapointed

 

i really think thas what i;m gonna do... can anyone give me a link for a good price on a new turbo...
i;m wanting something on the smaller side... i;m wanting something that spools quick, and i;m only gonna run about 7psi max..since its 11:1 compression

preciate yalls help guys!

edit: i also wanted to know what ppl thought about rev hard manifolds? cheap? i;m only hopin to push close to 300 whp... if that... so i;m not wanting anything crazy.... preciate the help

i would recomend like a t3(.63ar)/60-1 or somethign of that nature

Dont worry about fast "spooling" and **** like that it doesent matter how fast it spools for the record the quicker it spools you will have more problem with traction.

start big so you can go big (for 100-150) you can get a turbo that can support 250-500 whp
why get the one that can only support 370..i think you get what i am tryen to get at...

I dont agree with that. Hes not looking for 500whp, just 300. Why bother with all the lag. Fast spooling turbos are great. There are lots of ways to deal with the wheel spin, but not very many ways to deal with lag.

any tips on a turbo? i'ma prolly order one next week...
preciate any help... i don;t think i will ever want to go 500whp
i believe a smaller fast spooling turbo that will make 300 will do me fine....

 

Yea david, you should buy it and give it to me for my birthday
But really, the turbo is a little big for 300 hp..If you have the cheese to spend, id go with a garrett gt2871r..good for up to 350hp, but its also in the $1k range and you have to plumb water lines.Check out the t3/t04e, still a little big for 300hp but its better than that turbo. Look in the HT sponsor market place i belive you pick one up for around $550 brand new.

did you ever drive a boosted honda?

trust me when you get a taste you will want more,
i have tested the traction theory and a bigger turbo hooks better, but more importantly with a bigger turbo is proven to be better for the motor. even at the same power level...
2 years ago took a stock b18b with a 60-1 @10psi made 260whp and went 11.87@118...on street tires..and it was my 100% my daily driver...drove it to the track and back at least once a week....
dont be scared of the 60 trim it about the same money

its my advice to you, i haven givin it to few but the few have thanked me

A friend of mine got the 2871 and i warned him...now he wants more....

 

66159-5004 – T3/T4 – AR .63 – 60 Trim US$555

466159-5003 – T3/T4 – AR .63 – 57 Trim US$555

466159-5005 – T3/T4 – AR .48 – 57 Trim US$555

what about any of these? seems like a good deal to me.. and def more in my price range...lol

 

66159-5004 – T3/T4 – AR .63 – 60 Trim US$555

good turbo!!

 

If this is for the street, you'd probably love that t3 for ~285whp, but thats a tall order for that turbo on 11:1. A more realistic turbo would be a 50 trim t3/t04e, .63ar stg3 wheel.

If its just for the track, spool time is not something to worry about, unless you go crazy and slap a gt40 on there.


The real key isn't big or small. You want a turbo capible of putting you in its sweet spot (75% or better effeciency on the comp. map) since you're at a high compression. But if you only plan on 7psi for 300whp... You'll have to play with compressor maps quite a bit.
