Hey guys im currently trying to decide on what turbo to go with for my build. The car will be running a built 2.0 stock compression and pretty much all the bolt on's. I will be running on pump 94 ONLY. I was wondering what the spool difference would be between the precision 6262, 6266 and 6466?? I want to make about 550ish whp. How would these turbos compare to an HTA3586 that I had on my last built 2.0 setup. Any input is appreciated!

 

Bump anyone with some input before I pull the trigger on a turbo kit??

 

THe CEA 6262 would spool the quickest of all of them. The 6466 is overkill for what you want. 6266 would be the best comparison to the HTA3586.

Honestly for your power goals the the 6262 is probably your best bet but apparently from what I've seen the spool difference between 6262 and 6266 its really close.

I vote 6266 because the power bug will bite you hard and having a turbo that can you grow with (E85, Meth, race gas, etc).

 

A local guy has a 6266 + full bolt ons + built 2.0 motor + ported OEM intake and spool is at about 4800-5000 rpm. He makes close to 700 whp on VD tuning. You have a good chance of reaching your power goals with a 6262. If cost is not a factor, I think 6266 is the best direction.

 

I am building a 35r setup and was wondering why you decided to switch to precision turbos?

 

Well price wise they are the exact same so really it comes down to which one is better for my application. I'm guessing he made 700whp on E85 which we unfortunately don't have

I sold my last car with the 3586. I'm building a new car now and looking at a precision turbo because they are cheaper than the Garrett's and seem to work just as well.

 

Built motor, 94 Octane, and a 6466 would be an absolutely great setup on your car, so would the 6266. 525+whp on the 6466 shouldn't be hard to do for you with some proper 94octane fuel. If you are a really good swimmer, I would suggest you swim across the lake and grab a 55 gallon jug of our E85 here in Rochester.
I honestly wouldn't even go the 6262 route since you will be losing out on some much desired top-end power. The 6266 would spool *slightly* later than the 6262, but the turbine wheel is such a better wheel that you would really be missing out if you didn't go that route.

 

i ran a custom pte6262 on my 05 evo 8 rs and i made 530awhp on e85, im just curious if your going to switch out your head studs and rod bolts? also are you trying to make 550 on 94??

 

I really would love to do E85 but its not really practical for me.
Right now im leaning towards the 6266 but im curious to see what the spool difference is between that and the 6466. Would twin scroll be worth the extra $?

The motor is built so there wont be any issues there. And yes I would like to shoot for over 500whp on 94oct. Ive seen people make 500whp on pump gas on a FP black so I don't see why my car wouldn't make over 500 with something like a 6266.

 

Going Divided housing from the PTE series on the Evolutions I haven't seen any better responsiveness than with the T3 versions from what I've dealt with over the last year or two with these. Though I'd get a FP over the PTE any day of the week, but that's just me.

 

i disagree on picking the HTA86 over the 6466. i have no experience in open scroll but in twin scroll i do. my 6466 with T4 1.15 housing spooled exactly the same as my HTA86 with T4 1.06 housing. granted the APT housings ''1.06'' is junk and the PTE ''1.15'' was a ton better i cant see much hurting spoolup. also to note i went from HTA86/BR-BF272 cams to much bigger STM-650 cams. and still spooled the same BUT made over 100hp more uptop.

6466 is my opinion if your considering the HTA86.

 

I wasn't really considering the hta86, just mentioned that I had one on my previous car. After talking to a few tuners and doing some more research I think the 6266 is what im looking for.

 

a few guys have back to back with 6266/HTA86 setups. some claim the 6266 to spool faster but lack the top end of the HTA86. others claim they spool about the same but the HTA seemed to always pull uptop a little better. so its really all gonna be based on your setup IMO.

 

Ok thanks for the input. Lots of people say these turbos are very similar. Because of the price difference im probably going to give the precision a try.

 

make sure you go with BB and honestly do not be afraid of considering the 6466. it is like the 6266/HTA86 but creams up top. the 6266 is a 6 blade comp wheel and the 6466 is a 7 blade wheel. newer type of design from PTE and they claim it to spool like a 6266. i can not say for sure though.
