Next to each other

 

there is a pair of calipers on the welder nerd!

 

no one can read calipers in a low res digital pic... NERRRRRD

 

so stage 3 is about 2.25in. across and stage 5 is about 2.5in.??

Will that mean more lag for the stage 5 since it's bigger or just pushing more air but the same spool up?

Ya i saw that, i thought it was because the way he took the picture in an angle.

 

ok so the stage 5 is bigger but for a B18C will it make a BIG difference, going for 500hp. The garret (T3/60-1 (.82 AR) stage 3) is a lot cheaper than turbonetics (T3/60-1 (.82 AR) stage 5) but i don't want to sacrifice performance for a couple hundred bucks.

so which one???

thanks

 

in my opinion, you should be able to get 550whp out of the stg 3 and also have less lag than using the Otrim wheel(stg 5)

 

I'm using a 60-1, stage 5 wheel and the exhaust wheel/outlet size is about 2.5" so that is right on. My lag isn't too bad, takes a little more RPM to spool the turbo up but once it does it comes on strong.

 

whoa buddy, it wasnt a challenge! its not my fault your using low res pics
lV 3 l2 l)

 

 

i just don't get why the stage 5 is an internal WG style?

 

What's the difference between the two? price wise? What max whp versus the other. Thanks.

 

 

To be exact on the specs Stage III has an exducer diameter of 2.229"/major diameter 2.559", the Stage V exducer 2.439"/major 2.798", The T4 wheels N trim exducer 2.071"/major 2.922", O trim exducer 2.296"/major 2.922" and P trim 2.544"/2.922". So the Stage V wheel's exducer is actually bigger than the N and O trim's but the major is smaller than all T4 wheels. I myslef have a T3/60-1 Stage V wheel .82 A/R turbine housing, may eventually go to a straight T4 or T61, we'll see after the motor is back together. HTH Geoff I'll be getting in touch with you hopefully this week.

 

So FFgeoff, do you have anything else that is 2.5 inches long?

 

good, another FFgeo person from mesa. chrissst. when will it end?

 

what is the max whp of the two? T3/60-1 (.82 AR stage)

 

lol, what does the screename mean anyway?

 

nice!
i totally wanted a stg 5 wheel..but ahwell.im sure ill be happy with my snail.

 

LMAOL

 

Well maybe if your Grandma's meatballs weren't so damn good I'd stop bothering you...

 

I'm changing my screen name to FFearl just for the bling bling

 

Geoff, is it correct that the stage 3 wheel on turbonetics' is the highest, and stage 5 for the garret's? When majestic upgraded my turbo, I was under the impression 3 was as high as I could go.

 

damn man you come over eat all my meatballs and then mock my on the internet

make it end!!! hahaah

FF stands for front front (front engine, front wheel drive) there is no relation to the tiiite boyzze in cali and i jsut did this becuase i have a civic. now all my friends decide theyre gonna be cool and be the new FF squad and then things excalated and are now getting out of control. maybe we will be crosstown rivals to the real ff squad in the
FF3 (fast and furious..)

earl you can be our coach! or dad or something hahaha

 

the stage 5 wheel is only available on turbonetics, and innovative turbos, i am not totally sure about precision becuase i cant decipher their codes. I actaully am going to call them and talk a bit today.

SiRkid, youre gt30 is a superior design to a stage 5. Not much better but slightly better

FWIW FFgeokstar and FFgeon were over last night getting their breath all over two turbos, one is a 60-1 BB with stage 5 .63 a/r and one is a 60 trim t04e with a stage 3 .63 a/r

the ball bearing turbo (obviously) got going way faster than the other, but we tried to make a video on my digital cam but it was too dark. oh well maybe next time.

Boostfed, thanks for the info, i was told misinformation apparently...
