I love it when people get all angry cause you don't believe they're as smart as they try to make it sound.

What YOU are really arguing about is wether or not your the turbo genious you claim to be. I've done this housing swap, it ran great, and now we're just trying to figure out what the smaller part of the wheel measures, like it really matters to this swap anyway (even the turbo god says so) . I measured them and didn't see a difference. Then the turbo inventor himself decided that it was an argument worthy subject where he could try to impress everyone that he's worked on a turbo before. It's plain to see his self concept issues by making this a bigger deal than it really is. I'm glad he's getting his 15 minutes.

Colin has both of the turbo's, the same ones I measured, and he's going to measure them again. Not to prove anyone right or wrong, but to just get it straight. The only reason these turbo's were ever labeled "50 trim" or "60 trim" is by you. Nobody said ---- about trims. Then all .42 a/r housings are 50 trim, and then they're advertised as "60 trim", and then the turbo god strays from his own words and a reputable turbo shop and says they're "64 trim".

That's why I don't believe you. It's not because I claim to know numbers of this turbo or that, it's because I personally measured it, and you're numbers (and your self esteem issues) don't make sense to what I saw.

By tomarrow all the measurements will be done again, and if sixsix6 was correct, Stealthmode will be so shamed for not measuring correctly 2 months ago not knowing he'd need to have an argument about it on the internet. Waaaahhhhh


Classic douchebag comment. Even if you were a turbo genious, you'd still be a douchebag waste of life.

steve, there are no 64 trim T3s, at least none that ive ever seen, the only step up from a .60 is to an S60 trim (super 60) which is pretty hard to come by (nomatter what anybody on eGay says, it proly aint a real S60). .42 compressors are 50 trims, .60 is 60 trim. And yes, they will measure differently. No big deal but you guys are trying to make this a drama thread

The turbo I posted is advertised as a super 60, 60 trim, with a .42 a/r compressor. That's why I posted it.

No, I'm really not losing sleep. I did the swap and it worked out great. It's the turbo god that it really matters to.

What part of "Super 60" wheel isn't a 60 trim rather a 64 trim do you not understand? Anyone calling a S60 wheel a 60 trim is just as ignorant as you are.

Stealthmode is the only one making it more difficult than it needs to be. The 40, 50, 60 trim, and even the S60 trim are different trims for a reason, because their inner diameters are different. If you can get your head out of your *** long enough to realize that such a minute amount doesn't seem like much when you see .156 or 4mm but when you take into account the percentage increase of said wheel and tyo take it a step further, percentage increase of SURFACE AREA, it's an entirely different ballgame.

I've already said that the increase in the 50 to 60 trim wheel is roughly 10% but it's surface area is close to 30%. You're a tard if you don't realize that.

Good thing this is homemadeturbo. Thanks for gracing us.

Fixed it for ya. The surface area of the 50 trim inner diameter is 2.2009, the 60 trim is 2.6302, and the S60 is 2.8353. I'll let you do the rest provided your math doesn't suck worse than your measuring skills.

So I'd be better off upgrading my compressor housing to the .60 A/R housing on that Super 60 turbo I have? Or will it make no difference?

sixsick6

Do you know for a fact that you have a Super60 or did someone tell you that you bought a Super60? There's a measurable difference and alot of ignorance on teh intArw3b. It starts with guys like Stealth and ends up in your engine bay via eBay. The larger A/R housing is always gogn to be the better option for potential but at the boost you guys are running, none of it really matters. If you understand how compressor maps work in relation to boost pressure and volumetric efficiency then you'll understand and be able to theoretically plot your engines VE on a potential map.

I bought it from here: http://store.yahoo.com/cheapturbo/gat3su.html

Jesus christ.... lol, Cheapturbo.com/PT supplys Garrett's "Super60" which is 100% a "60 trim" with a 1.830 wheel and yes in a .42AR housing, So its not a true super60 like a turbonetics version.

And if you dont beleive me, you can go ahead and call them
