SC6176

[chad b.]

Hav any of you guys ran this turbo on a K, and what setup/numbers are you making?

[nelson8708]

My buddy has a sc61 (dont know what the last two numbers of it were) he made 318whp on 10psi with nothing but, a safc II for tuning and pulled two degree out at the dizzy. He has a peakboost manifold also.

Good turbo with a fairly quick spool.

sweet

Quick spool? I would think it would just as laggy as a non-bb gt35... any idea on when it hit full boost?

[nelson8708]

Not sure, but i would say around 3K ish.....i will ask him next time i talk to him.

I know they're laggy on Hondas, but I would think that a 2.5 would spool it prettty well.

2.4L my friend...

The SC5163 is the same as a standard T3/T04E with 0.63 hot and 50 trim comp wheel. I'm guessing the SC5176 has a 0.82 exhaust with a stg 5 turbine wheel...

[chad b.]

yea, 2.4, excuse the typo.

The turbo has these specs:

Part Number: SC6176Max Rated HP: 680Inlet/Outlet Size: 3"/2" or 4"/2.5"Bearing System: 360 RaceGarrett Compressor Wheel Trim: 56Garrett Turbine Wheel Trim: 76

It's a nice 500whp+ turbo, but way too laggy for anything under..

That's a matte of opinion. I have an SC61 and I hit full spool at 4000K rpms. This turbo is rediculos on a KA. The perfect match. I have a .63 a/r turbine housing and I'm upgrading to a .82 to get a bigger gain. Hoping for close to 600whp on this turbo. aAlready hit over 530 wheel on the .63

[chad b.]

Yea, mine is the .63. I think that it'll be fine on a 2.4. Hell, the guy I bought it from had it on a built LS/VTEC and made near 600 wheel with it @ 32psi. There are tons of guys runing 35r's on 1.8L Hondas. Come on people, don't be sissies, get a big boy turbo.

BTW: a close friend of mine runs a 42r on his 1.9L GSR and makes 700whp. I want to be right at the 500 mark, you can't do that with a T2, sorry.

[hannibal]

Pardon my previous post. I have no idea what I'm talking about...

^LOL

I think the sc61 is a great turbo for a KA-T street car. Don't plan on taking it auto crossing but for the average guy it's a nice turbo. I don't know why people are always trying to run a T25 and boost it up to try to make 350+hp.
