ive been looking at new turbos to do for later on in the summer and at the moment i run a precision 50trim. i was wondering what the general response is for a 60-1 turbo with a .60 a/r compersser housing and a .63 a/r hotside housing. i know someone who has a new one and will hold it for me until i have the money to upgrade. plus it will be cheap. i have a stroker so the lag will be less than stock displacement. anyone running this turbo? is it a good option? let me know what you think.

 

oh and with my current turbo setup it would be a completly bolt in install, just swap the turbos

 

the 60-1 is a pretty good turbo on 2wd apps it has pushed over 600 whp depending on your compressor cover specs and turbine & housing a/r. boost threshold is about the same maybe a little worse than a 35R, but the 35R will beat it hands down in terms of transient response.

 

http://www.turbofast.com.au/img/to4-60-1.JPG this is the link to the compressor map. honestly i have no idea how to read one of these thats why im asking if this specific turbo would be a good choice to run on a evo with a good amount of boost running through it.

 

Is it ball-bearing? If not stay far far away from it. Just get a GT35R, do it right.

 

The 3076R is also a good choice

 

no it is not ball bearing. do it right? do you know how many people run aftermarket non ball bearing turbos on this site? the stock turbo is non ball bearing and works wonders. the 60-1 has been well known in the dsm community for years and i can get it for less than half the cost of a gt series. everyone does a gt35r, however, there is good reason for that. Most people who say "just get a gt35r" have no idea what they are getting themselves into with that turbo, not that a 60-1 would be much different.

 

even if its not a bb, it wont be that bad since u got a stroker kit. are you looking at the presicion sc61 which is 5bolt dp flang?

 

im looking at a few different options right now, but a friend of mine has a garrett hes willing to hold onto for me

 

are you 4bolt or 5bolt and looking for just a bolt on? the presicion sc61 is the same as a garrent 60-1 except the precision is more update exhaust wheel and ported inlet.
in my opinion you should get the .70 instead of the .60 and t4 instead of t3 with your stroker kit.

 

Please dont bring the stock turbo into this. We're talking about large turbos here. LARGE non-BB turbos suck compared to the BB ones. GT35Rs are common because their efficient,good spool and huge power. The 60-1 is very close to a GT35R in size. Yes the 60-1 is well known in the DSM community because its cheap. The cars themselves cost as low as $1000. It would make sense a $700 turbo is popular.

We're talking an EVO here, and you have a stroker! The GT35R would be more than ideal. It would spool faster than the 60-1 and provide more power. What more could you want?

I know I would never waste a dollar on a turbo that size that wasnt ball-bearing.

 

i am a 5 bolt but have easy access to a 4 bolt setup if needed. will the t4 setup bolt to the t3 flange i am running? also arent the t4's usually vband?

 

point taken, however if you were to say spend $400 on a 60-1 would you take it? expecially if it was completly bolt on to your current setup? also if you could sell your current turbo for close to the same?

 

+1, but if the price was right I would try it.

 

exactly my thoughts
