t3 60-1 experience?

[clss240]

anyone have experience with one of these turbos. i've got a guy local that wants to sell it to me with 0 miles on a rebuild with paperwork and a limited warranty on the workd done. for $250 its a garret. im just getting into forced induction but. spool time? and anything else relevent would be nice to hear from ya

its a .48 a/r exh and thats all he knows about it. .60 a/r comp.

current HAves. treadstone cast manifold

current wants.everything else \\

It's not a bad turbo for a low boost application.

i have a t4 62-1 the spool time is laggy but its good for 500+ hp, im pretty sure the t3 will spool faster. should be good for around 400hp but the .48 a/r is tiny you would want the .60 a/r it will flow better up top and when you up the boost.

That would be a great dd turbo. Don't expect much more than 350ish with it with a solid tune but it'll spool quick and give a very driveable powerband for the ka. Also you may have slight fitment issues with the ts mani. but theres ways of getting around it just search for hockey puck motor mounts on nico. Get urself some 480's, walbro and afc, pull a few degrees of base and you'll have a strong running street car.

The turbo's are so different they are uncomparable...

The T3/60-1 will have no lag to speak of at all. But will probably lose efficiency at 14ish psi.

Are we talking about this one?? If so, it seems like it'd be very laggyhttp://cheapturbo.stores.yahoo.net/gat3w48ar.html

[turbo2nr]

yea their are so many varations of the 60-1 its hard to tell which one you speak of..

[WDRacing]

Well f*** me, I was thinking about this one...



The 60-1 compressor is bigger then the one I have...but it's still attached to a small .48 AR exhaust housing so the lag should be minimal. Note, with that small .48 AR the HP can't be rated simply on compressor flow because the exhaust housing will be a restriction.



Upon review of the specs given in the OP, it would have to be a super 60 and not a 60-1. The 60-1 does not come with a .48 AR compressor...lol. So we need to figure out exactly what turbo we're discussing

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the super 60. I've seen people make between 280-350ish whp with that turbo with boost between 15-20ish. Depending on supporting mods I'd say you should make a solid 300 with virtually no lag. Unless its the one wd has posted in the second pic and I wouldn't run that on a ka it'd be a dog in my book.

I had a pair of T22's machined for the 60mm wheels with 360 thrust bearings .. worked great plenty of power on the low end .. have both for sale one needs rebuild..

[clss240]

i mixed the two its a .60 a/r compressor side and vice-versa. man you guys are quick. ya i figure its a good deal. i just didnt know much about turbo sizes. and such. i know some just not enough. any other input on this turbo?

[GTR PrYdE]

sounds like a good turbo for 250+whp. not sure what they max at, but you could probably get over 300whp easy

[Brandon93240]

300ish is about its max before you just have a heat pump, it'll take between 17-20 psi to make that power, but the quick spool and response is what will really shine having that turbo on the ka. I'm not 100% but I think Markemark had one on his s14. Good price too, people are paying that or more for a used nonrebuilt t25 and t3 setups do have more potential.

[clss240]

cool, thanks ont he input i've been looking at other forums about it too and looks like a guy buy for a first timer im going to look at it tomorrow.

[lrb_2000]

I ran a super 60 for quite awhile at 12-16psi.. There was little lag, and didn't really seem to lose steam until about 6200rpms.. I loved the turbo. I never got any dyno time with it though.

Here's a video of my car when I ran the super 60 @ 10psi. open dumptube ftw. haha.

nice vid. gosh i forgot how 10 psi looked like....................

[lrb_2000]

Thanks.. that might have only been 8psi since my gauge was off a little.. but it seemed to pull pretty hard.. I can't wait to get my new engine in
