turbonetics 62-1?

[4g63t]

hello all i just ordered a turbonetics 62-1 turbo for my future project i am doing to get into the 11s here are the specs of the turbo

Featuring a Turbonetics 62-1 compressor, dry center & .96 A/R on-center.! Representing the careful marriage of a unique high flow/high efficiency compressor section teamed up with a T4 turbine section the 62-1 has proven itself in every competitive motorsport application from drag racing to bonneville. Supports 60lb/min or 600HP!! in a single turbo application and 1200HP on twin turbo apps . This is the best turbo in the industry. 360-degree thrust bearing standard!

4"inlet and 2.50 outlet
* VSR Balanced (see toe tag)
* 360-degree thrust bearing
Made in the USA



I am just wondering if it is going to be to big or if it will work out well. I got this for a good prics so i couldent pass it up. my friend has one of these on his h22 civic as a dd and it spools fast and pulls real hard. Keep in mind that this will be driven as a dd at low boost and rocked at the track on the weekends. I do have a built engine w/full internals/ ported head and cams/ext. I'm leaning toward it being to big i might have to sell it and settle for something smaller. What do you guys think?

I have a t3 DBB 62-1. .63 ar exhaust side. Full spool (30 psi) is roughly 5k. I think its a pretty good street turbo, and at 35psi it would definately be a 10 second turbo.

anyone else?

Probably overkill for what your goals are. T4 hotside is going to spool slow, expect to see 26 psi in the low-mid 5k range. I would definately get rid of the on-center turbine housing because it is proven to have the worst flow and slower spool times. As for low boost, dont expect it to feel like much, if any, more than a b16g at boost levels below 24psi. Properly tuned and supported, you should be able to get into the 25-28psi range on 93 octane pump gas with no knock. You should also be able to reach close to the 500whp mark with boost in the upper 20's.

Which turbine wheel are you going to run? I recommend a T3 stage 5. Not a t4 turbine. Another option is a p-trim t4 turbine in a .63 a/r t3 turbine housing. In fact a t3 stage5 in a t3 .63 a/r housing is just fine for 10s and provides somewhat decent spool characteristics.

Don't purchase an on-center housing. You'll have to do so much more custom work. I don't know of any shop that sells a t3 or t4 flanged exhaust manifold that will place an on-center housing turbo ina location that won't cause it to bump against the block. . . I'm sure there's a shop that can. But your stock exhuast manifold has taken guys to the 11s. And much mor streetable turbos ahve done the same.

Eitherway, you're running and AWD DSM, not a honda . It's possible reach 11s with 2/3s of that turbo that turbo and have a fun street turbo that is a bolt-on and cost you several hundred dollars less bacause of not needing a manifold or oil lines or ic piping alterations.



EDIT: wait you have a 50 trim! you're EASILY capable of running 11s right now. A 10.99 slip is not impossible. Is this for another car?

You can reach your goal with much less turbo than a full t4 and have all the fun of great spool for a daily driver.

You don't need to go as far as a 62-1 to put down 11s.

And as far as I know Turbonetics 60-1 is a crapper. It has been proven to have the worst CHRA. Not only is shaft play guaranteed but the CHRA will scatter in the internals of the turbo. Whatever Turbonetics say the max lbs. it can handle, you'll be lucky to get a third of that and keep the turbo stable and like you're ever going run 60 lbs. I was running my 60-1 at 22 lbs. with less than 5,000 miles put of the turbo and CHRA scatter in the internal housing.

So my 2 cents is if Turbonetics 60-1 cannot perform I'd have to assume that an even bigger turbo with the same basis CHRA design is going to have the same or even worst problem. So be sure the break it in properly. If something goes wrong with the CHRA and you're put a lot of lbs. into the turbo you will probably have some serious damage to the rest of your engine.

Be aware that cheapness doesn't give true performance parts!

On my crbb 62-1 P trim @18psi dsm link is showing 45-48lbs min. This is with a untuched 2g maf built motor and supporting mods.

Alright I just wanted some more room to play around with knowing that im not going to have to upgrade my turbo again. Im not sure what I am going to do just yet. All grate information. when it arives at my house on wedensday ill have some sort of plan. My current 50trim that I have is on its way out. Has in out play and makes my car smoke pritty bad. What would be a good turbo in the 800 daller range that would fit my application?

PTE 50 trims or pte 60** turbos (60-1). Sinc eyou want head room look at the PTE 60** turbos w/ a t3 stage5 wheel. Should be a relatively fun turbo (street) and means business at the track. Good for 55-60 lbs/min if pushed.

They are boltonish. And you should have the proper oil/water lines already. . .

I agree. The 60-1 would easily get you to your goals and is still fun on the street. It also leaves some growing room for later. The turbo that you speak of(60-1, stage 5 turbine) is the pte scm 5252. That is what I have been running for a few years and am quite satisfied with it. Unfortunately, I have been plagued with fuel, tranny, etc issues so I have yet to even begin to push this turbo. I have finally gotten most of my problems fixed and hope to get a chance to run the piss out of it soon. The most boost I have run so far has been 30psi on race gas and 28 psi on pump.

In all honesty, if you want to go bigger so you wont upgrade later, I would just get a gt35r. But in the same thought, regardless of how big you go now, you will still upgrade again later in search of a little more.

Thank you for the proper number for that turbo!

I've run a RS60T, that blew up. It boosted VERY quick w/ the BEP housing and the t3 stage 3 turbine. I really feel the stage3 t3 turbine choked it up. Especially for a good pump gas tune where you need as much flow per psi as possible to get a good number. I finally recorded 52 lbs/min before the compressor contacted the cover. Good wheel! Deserves a t3 stage5 turbine or p-trim turbine.

HA! that's the truth. We all seam to raise the question, "So how much can my bottem end handle? . . ." We have to be happy w/ the process. Enjoy the build and know that it takes alot of brass to plug along well enough to get a 50+ lb/min log. If we're only in it for numbers, . . . well, they go to infinity.
