great, so what if I do want a super 60 like you. Whats the ar numbers?

My question is if I want to use this turbo, where do I get the flanges, gaskets, oil line, all the little fittings, is it a internal or external wategate? OR, OR can I get the Greddy kit and somehow adapt it to work with the super 60?

What kind of motor do you have? How sure are you it will spool at 2300? Whats your HP like?

Get the turbo off an automatic ford turbo couple. its a 60-trim, .60/.48.

The greddy has been proven to some mid 200+hp, and does spool very fast.

If you want a "HMT-Greddy kit" get a wrx turbo, its a TD04L-13T, super fast spool and good for at least 220whp.

.60 .48 whould be just fine. But if you dont believe my car spools at 2300 you can make a little trip to tallahassee and I will take you for a ride.

Would that work, putting the WRX turbo onto the Greddy kit manifold? what other modifications would you have to do to make that work. I'm very interested in that set up. Is there anyone on here running that?

i have a t3/t04e .63 A/R (.57 Compressor, .60 Exhaust) on a stock internal d16a6 w/zdyne @ 12psi. i dont plan on the engine lasting very long, im just gonna blow it up and get a b18c1.

my car spools at around 3.2k rpm and breaks the tires loose in second easily and spins in third. this turbo is too big for this engine unless you are drag racing.

For your intended use (responsive turbo with good engine reliability) it would not use a T3/T4 hybrid (or T3 super 60 with is nearly as big). I can't imagine it building boost quick enough to satisfy you.

I own a BMW 1990 325is (2.5Lt engine inline 6-cylinder). I have a T3/T4 turbo (non-ball bearing center section). Turbo spec's are Turbine: T3 stg-3 with A/R 0.63 housing. Compressor: T4B S-3 trim (smallest T4 compressor). I have full 3-inch exhaust. Intercooled with Spearco IC (7.2 x 18.5 x 3 thick core) and run 2.25-inch charge pipes. I live near Denver (elevation 5400 ft so air pressure is lower 12.2 psia and this may effect the turbo performance I get). Anyway with this set-up on my car I get some boost starting at around 2.5k (BOV just audible if I am shifting at 2.5k). I takes till about 4000-4500rpm to reach full boost (15-psi). Hence, with an engine much smaller (1.6Lt vs 2.5 Lt, even considering the Honda DOHC 4-valve head will have slightly better volumetric efficiency than my 2-valve head) I could not imagine that turbo building meaningful boost (over 5-psi) until beyond 6000-rpm. You might help boost some by using a smaller turbine (std. T3 or stg-2 along with small A/R housing), but still for your intentions, I feel a smaller turbo would be the better choice.

True and no the WRX turbo will not fit a greddy manifold.
