btw i got this turbo mint for 30 bucks.....

ill use it . this motor is my no means stock, its fully built with headwork

jays car did spool it but it was late and it pulled hard. i refuse to sell it based on price alone. i had a sc61 and a 60 trim on my b18c1 and that was a stck block.

i will attain 400whp here for 1200 or less, including the fully built motor and turbo kit.....


heresa pic of the turbo and manifold i made. not bad for a beginner.

DO NOT trust anything Blaast Performance says as far as specs. I have called them on specs and part numbers numerous times that they have been wrong and sold bad product, I refuse to deal with them and they haven't affected my busniess whatsoever. My refusal to deal with them has nothing to do with spite nor a loss of money, rather their refusal to admit that they give "bad information" and in turn sell bad products.

If you'd like, I'll take some pictures of the compressor wheel with calipers and you can do the math yourself.

sc6152e compressor:

wheel diameter: 61mm
wheel inducer: 2.146" or 54.5 mm
wheel exducer: 3.227" or 81.97 mm
wheel trim: 56

turbine:

A/R Ratio: 0.63
wheel style: T350
wheel inducer: 2.795" or 71 mm
wheel exducer: 2.437" or 62 mm

So it is a little larger. I'll post pictures and measurements of the compressor wheel unless you want to do it.

Sweet Jesus Josh that snail is a monster. Lag ain't ----. It's a b16 so those things have lag without even being boosted! lol. Once you hit that g-spot then the heavens will open and that torqueless monster will be no more.
