So I have a few questions, for those of you have gone before me. Im currently running a 60-1 at 20 psi on my built motor / e85. Top end is awesome, but it is a little laggy. I will be replacing it soon more than likely due to some substantial shaft play (I bought it used over a yr ago). Im debating if I should replace it with another 60-1, or go with another turbo. I prob wont have the money for a BB so a GT35r or the like is out. Is there another journal bearing turbo thats reasonably priced out there that will still reach my power goals, but have a quicker response? Thanks in advance!

 

what size is your turbine housing.

 

.63... Anyone run a .48 on a 60-1? lol

 

dont think anyone has done a comparo on that...lol
generaly though .48 will spool faster than an .82 and .63. Really dont know if its worth it cause it may hurt your top end.

 

i used to have.48ar. it spooled great but didnt have top end. and i toped out at 370whp. kept raising the boost but couldnt pass 370whp. then went to a63 and spool is a lil laggy but not a big difference and i have alot of top end. try messing with your tune and help spooling. try adding some timing in early spooling. i've heard you can do that and spool a lil quicker. i dunno

 

there ya have it..

do you know exactly what rpm you would reach 8psi on a 48 and 63?

 

Man on my .63 I hit full boost 20psi around 4200k. I think not sure cause haven't floored my car since the beginning of the year. But when I had my .48ar I hit full boost below 4200k but it was 17psi. I'm sure 8psi will be at 3.5k just guessing. I dunno.

 

crap..i was hopeing to see a side by side. same set up, same boost, just diff turbin housings

 

Haha thats funny on my setup I hit 20 psi at 4150-4200rpm on my 60-1 with .63 housing. Now that i think about it, i spin tires anyways, so all thats gunna really happen with a faster spooling turbo is spin tires quicker lol

 

^^^ you and me on the same but. if you have the money get a sc6262 that billet wheelwill spool lovely. try to find one on craigslist or something

 

isnt someone selling one in the ppc?

 

never mind...its a 6067 with effed up bearings...id kinda like to try and rebuild that turbo though..got a spare rebuild kit iv been hanging onto just in case.

 

go for it. i really want a sc6265 but can never find it used/good and cheap

 

Yea the 6262 looks like it may be the best bang for the buck. I wonder how much faster it would actually spool compared to a 60-1 with .63 exh housing?

 

i dunno about faster but it might be the same but just with a bigger wheel.

 

wish i could...after spending my molla on engine parts im lucky if ill be able to afford a quart of oil...lmao..not to mention machine shop bill...fml

 

gt3076r or a 20g!

 

Why dont you look into the garett gtx series, the new gt3076r gtx is now rated over 600hp. Borg warner has something nice coming too... i could be wrong but seems to me the 6262 has gone more expensive than when i first saw it

holset hx40 FTMFW!
BTW like u guys were saying tire spin is one of our biggest enemies, quick question and sorry to thread jack, but are you guys running ES motor mounts?

 

a bunch of us are...I did mine roughly a year ago...why?
