Im trying to decide what turbo to go with for my build, its a 10.0:1 2.0 LS/VTEC

B18B1 Block:
GE Sleeves
84mm 10.0:1 Arias Pistons
Crower Rods

B16A Head:
Extensively reworked head (Done by me of course )
Portflow valve job
Supertech valves
Eibach EVS valvetrain
Crower 63401T cams

I was originally planning on a mild 1.8 build and a SC61E turbo but I recently decided to just go all out and make the best of my build up.

I will be driving the car everyday at about 12 PSI and plan on taking it to about 22 PSI at the track. The overall goal for this project is 400WHP @ 12 PSI and around 500+WHP and low 11's at the track @ 22PSI.

Now, the 2 turbos I have been in constant debate over are the T3 60-1 or the SC61S. I need to know in your opinions, which I should go with and why? Which will make the most power at the above boost levels?

If possible, could you guys list guestimated or if you have either one of these turbos actual spool times, HP output with either and any pics you may have. I honestly cant decide, I need a little convincing

 

SC61 is a t3/60-1 but with a much better and efficient design.

 

ask yourself "do I want the better GT compressor wheel or not?"

learn something new everday

 

SC61 will spool slower, but have more HP and be better for the strip.

 

Well, After talking to SixtyDashOne (thanks for the info!) Ive decided to go with the SC61S

 

I thought the SC61 spooled better, because it has the stage 5 wheel, and the t3/60-1 has the stage 3 wheel?

 

a smaller exhaust wheel will spool better than a larger exhaust wheel. Barring any aerodynamic differences.
The larger wheel will allow more horsepower up top.

 

why not try the full race t3/t67....close if not the same spool as the sc61 and well..flows 75lbs/min..

A T67 compressor wheel and a T3 exhaust wheel is a horrible missmatch, I can't see that working well.

If it were my car, I'd run a GT3561. It's basically an SC61 but with a GT exhaust wheel as well, for even quicker spool.

 

A friend of mine has an SC-61 on a GTI 1.8t and its a truely awesome turbo

good choice

 

boosted92: so the GT3561 is the same as a GT35E?

well....look at the dynos and say that again?

 

and why is it such a horrible mismatch?
