Journal Bearing 60-1: How do they Perform ? and what do they compare to ?
I have a local friend here that has a brand new 60-1 journal bearing garret turbo. He bought it brand new and it was actually customized to spool faster with a smaller turbine housing or a/r(which ever it was).
Anyway Im wondering what this turbo compares too and if its worth buying? Or better yet if anyone knows anyone running one or where i can find some specs on it.
Thanks guy.
p.s probably get the turbo for like 700-800 brand new still never used.

You don't see a lot of them because they're just older technology. They work okay, but the newer turbos will beat that one every time all things equal.
And I would imagine a smaller turbine housing would cause slower spool. If anything you would want a ported housing with a larger wheel.

The 60-1 and 62-1 are best suited for larger displacement engines (e.g. V8) with high compression, that won't be seeking more than 15psi or so from the turbo. If you compare the 60-1 to a GT35R, you will see that both compressors are roughly 65 lb/min, but the 35R's efficiency islands extend to much higher pressure ratios. For an EVO, a 35R is a superior turbo.

Thank you Ted. I knew there had to be some kind of catch as to why you dont see this turbo more often in the evo community.
Looks like it'll be the 35R then. Same kid has a 35R also up for sale. lol. He bought the 60-1 first and must have found out its not as efficient for a 4cyl as the 35R.

They seem to run out of air around 530whp in my experience on most 2.0/2.3 combos from the DSM days. I have seen them on bigger motors (2.8 VR6) make a little more power but not much. They are nice since the cost about 75 to rebuild not counting new wheels and such. I thought they had a 60# wheel in them but maybe not. I tuned one not too long ago (last week) and it seemed really decent actually. It wasnt a big cover turbo but it spooled 25psi by 4300 or so and made 30 by 4600 so I wouldnt call it horrible.
