60/63 on my b16?
 

Ok, I'm told the smaller t3 off like a saab is a bit small for my b16. What about the bigger ones, off thunderbirds, mustangs, ect. How well will that spoool on my stock b16?

Re:big t3 on my b16?
 

a 60/63 will spool by 4000 on your b16a but not gonna make big numbers with it

a t3/t4 will be ideal

Re:big t3 on my b16?
 

go with one of the t3/to4e turbos.

you can pickup a t3 / t4 b s-trim (the turbo hotrex used) for like $460 brand new...

Re:big t3 on my b16?
 

Where? what brand?

Re:big t3 on my b16?
 

yeah, but I can get the 60/63 for like $165 shipped. How big of a difference will there be between it and a comparable t3/t04e? How about between it and the other t3's (like the 42/48)? I guess I'm a little confused about the size of this turbo and I'm trying to get an idea of where it lies relative to other turbos I am familiar with. I'd like to use it because it's much cheaper than a t3/t4 (don't forget, i'll save money in a number of ways by using the internal wastegate too), but I want to know how much performance I will be sacreficing. I am thinking about using it for a while, then upgrading to a t3/t4. I'm sure the 60/63 could entertain me for a while

i have the nissan 63/60 ts on my civic si and at 10psi it was making 246hp 205tq on the dyno, and it was tunned conservitavely. it made 270hp running a little leaner that day. full boost 10psi comes in at 4500 in 2nd gear and it makes power past redline. the t3/t4 is a bit bigger and will make more power at the same psi but it might take a bit longer to hit full boost and will be more expensive. sounds like you're getting a good deal on that turbo.

Thank you so much. Finally a good and very applicable response

Re:60/63 on my b16?
 

though if there's an important difference between the nissan one and the ford one, that may not be as helpful... Anyone know if there is any significant difference?

Re:60/63 on my b16?
 

no difference as far as size, but there might be a difference in the mounting flanges and internal wastegate settings. it'll work on your car just make sure it's in good condition.
