Okay. So you're saying the housing won't fit because of the wheel size (trim)?

The .60 A/R housing will fit fine sans the modification to the center cartridge. For an interesting experiment and to show Stealth that he's wrong a little more about wheel trim, try putting the .42 A/R compressor housing on a 60 trim wheel. It won't happen without modification to the compressor housing. This is because, and exactly as I've said, the 60 trim wheel is larger than the 50 trim by 4mm overall inner diameter.

There's no 4mm difference in the wheels. Quit quoting your shop teacher and measure them already. I'm willing to accept that they aren't the exact same, but I'm telling you there's no 4mm difference.

WTF DO YOU THINK .156" =?

LMAO. No wonder you still think "There's no difference in the wheels."

MikeJ-2009

Yeah, because I didn't do the conversion of 4mm to .156 means that the two wheels I measured couldn't have been the same. I mean, how could I possibly measure something correctly if I don't automatically state conversion factors?


I would suggest getting the two turbo's, and measuring them against each other. And don't say you invented the turbo, or you're the authority on turbo specs blah blah. Measure them. Real world style.

sixsick6

I already have which is why I told you their measurements.

MikeJ-2009

No, you quoted a 50 trim and a 60 trims measurements, the same as you posted a link to a different manufacturers 50 trim and 60 trim specs. I'm not talking about 50 or 60 trim, you are. I'm also not talking about what turbonetics has to do with two Garrett turbo's I pulled at the junkyard. I'm talking about two turbo's one off this car and one off the other, and swapping the housings and not seeing one bit of difference visually or with a measuring device that could easily find 4mm (OR .156 ) difference without a problem.

Get the two exact turbo's we're talking about, and measure them!!! You didn't quote those numbers from the two turbo's we're talking about, you quoted them from a 50 trim turbo and a 60 trim in hopes of impressing someone of your outragously sick tyte knowledge of turbo's. Get the two exact turbo's, and measure them, the same as I did. Quoting specs of what you believe they are isn't cutting it. The only thing to do is to measure the turbo's we're talking about. Other than that, there's nothing else to discuss.

sixsick6

Are you that much of a moron that you can't accept being wrong? The measurements have NOTHING to do with Turbonetics. Those measurements are for ALL GARRETT T3's. Measure one yourself and you'll get the same results as turbonetics does. Wait nevermind, you're the one who sucks at measuring. Since you're too big of a tool to admit that you're wrong, here are some pictures of my own 60 trim which is a STOCK UNMODIFIED T3:

Whats Turbonetics say about that inner diameter?:
1.830" or 46.48~50 mm.

What about the outer diameter?



60.08~60.12 given that I measured with one hand and took a picture with the other.

What does Turbonetics say about that?

http://www.turbocharged.com/catalog/comp_wheels.html

2.367" or 60.12mm

You CLEARLY SAID that the 5o trim and 60 trim wheel measure the same. They CLEARLY DON'T. You CLEARLY suck at measuring.

Give it up man, you lost a long time ago.

MikeJ-2009

I never said ---- about a 50 trim vs. a 60 tirm. You did. Too bad that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about how I measured a 48/60 off a thunderbird and a 42/48 off a saab and didn't see 4mm of difference (or any difference for that matter).
Your numbers don't relate to what we're talking about. Don't measure a 50 trim or a 60 trim, measure the fucken turbo's we're talking about.
