hey guys gonna start building a turbo kit soon but wanna decide what size turbo to run first. i want a turbo that spools around 3500 and goes to redline. im looking at the t3 super 60. just wondering if that would be effecient for 250-300 whp on a stock b16

 

this is a old thread but check it out.

question is does it fall on its *** on the top end

 

i talked to i have an std about using the same turbo on my old stock gsr motor,and he he said that the turbo pulled fine until 7800-8000.

why don't you get a better turbo?why don't you try a t3/t4 57 trim?

 

You have been around for 3 years and have 2500+ posts but don't know how to search?? Its about time you learned. Really. It will help you out a lot in the end.........

Or better yet a 50 trim if he wants faster spool on the 1.6L.

like with any other turbo choice, its all in what you're looking for. For some people its good, for others, it isn't.. It's strictly a matter of preference.

 

agreed ive decided im gonna run the super 60 anyone have opinions on which ar to run .48 or .63

 

Run the larger housing if you want more topend and the smaller if you want faster spoolup. I'm sure you can find some spool times for each. If I were you I would go for the larger housing as you will likely want to max the turbo out and from the looks of the map 300hp will be about the end of the line.

 

Pretty much the same thing I told ya buddy I wouldnt lie its not in my nature

The .48 a/r housing will max out pretty close to 300hp (280 i think to be exact). I'd say go for the .63 a/r and you will be able to reach your goal while not having to max out on psi.

I personally had the T3 Super 60 on my D16z6 w/ the .48 a/r and I loved it...very efficient turbo

 

I am looking at the exact turbo for my y8 single cam. I came up with the same info as the guy above me, if you're going for that amount of power go with the .63

I would definitely run that turbo for your Y8

 

I have the .63 and was originally planning on running it on my D15B Vtec. Plans have changed and it looks as though Ill be running a B16 also, so Ill post up how it works out, hopefully soon.

 

I had a .63/.60 T3 (not a super 60) on my ls/vtec, and the spool was instantaneous, especially compared to the Holset hx35 I just strapped on. It was a great turbo though, 1st gear was essentially useless with my B16 Trans..
