Garret 60-1 Turbo

Hey guys if you havent read my other thread my rnr turbo which i thought was a precision turbo turned out to be an ebay turbo and has shot ****s on me. Im looking at upgrading but dont want a 35r. Im looking at the 60-1 from garret. I talked to them today and they say it will out perform the 30r but the 30 will be a bit more efficiant due to being ball bearing. If any of you have this turbo please chime in and let me know what you think of it. I previously had a 50 trim on the car so it will deffinatly be an upgrade and the car will deffinatly run better but just the pros and cons of this.

I had a 60-1 full frame T4 with the Stage V wheel (pre F1 style Turbonetics) from AGP. On a WRX it made 25psi by 4300 on a 2.0L JDM motor (with AVCS, akin to MIVEC) with an Autronic. Its a 60 lb per minute wheel which puts it somewhere between a 30 and 35 for total power, but the spool is a little laggy for some people.

The 60-1 is awesome old school turbo. It's works really good at lower pressures and is good for almost 600whp. I ran low 11's in my Talon all day long with one back in 2001, it wasn't too laggy and overall a fun street turbo. My buddy just made 560 something with his stroked KZ1000 funny bike.

However, I would take a 35r over the 60-1.

Exactly what I would say, Have you looked into the different versions of the GT30, they make about 3 different HP levels from like 52lbs upto 60lbs. Even the 52lbs would being going forward, just somthing to think about.

why dont you want a 35R? too big? get a 3082r with a .82 housing then, I'm about to try that out myself.

i agree 100% with shearer. the 60-1 is one of the og's and the dsm crowd has done huge things with it but these days that are tons of alternative that will perform better on a 4G63. If you got a deal or something then it's all good but if not then i would really say you invest in a different turbo.

im probably going to ordre tomorrow what would you guys recommend? just becuase its an older turbo its still proved its strengths right? I mean im open to any options just looking for the best way to go. And the 60-1 is not to far off from the power range of a 35r 40whp difference from what precision said. On their 60-1 version. which uses garrett internals so it woujld be basially the same thing. and the 60-1 ive been told would be a better pump gas turbo

I say it depends on how much they sell for..If the price is cheaper,by allmeans go for it..But,if they are running about the same as a 35r..The choice is simple..Good luck..Justin

ITs old school, works but the GT's are just that much more efficient... worth getting the GT's... but thats just my opinion...

what do you mean laggy? I dont have many more supporting mods i can do. Besides meth/alky. Which might come in the future. I had this turbo on my rsx and i dont remember it being real laggy. i mean there was some but wasnt alot..

i got this turbo on my integra and its great. it makes tons of power and i get full spool at 3800 rpm. i have the t3 60-1 with the .82 ar turbine housing and stage 5 wheel. all this on a build 2.0 lsvtec.

spools great and makes great power at a very low cost

but get a 35r if you can afford it
