Re: ID: t3-60 vs T3 "super 60" questions
 

If you ask me, that looks like a 57 trim t04e wheel in that one (or similar, like the blaast turbo above). Compair that to this 57 trim/t3 combo:

I got 2 of the chrysler housing versions of the same deal for ~$105 each. My guess is that picture they're using is just a mix-up. If you ask them to supply a picture of their super60 (and prove its a at-the-moment picture), it will look almost exactly like the regular 60.


BTW blaast, is the machining usually done with a custom-profile endmill bit? I know they cut small runs of wheels with a cnc, usually a vertical mill with a rotary table. I would doubt they'd put the housing on a mill, as the jig wouldn't be fun.

If the "super 60" comes with a 360 thrust, there's some benefit there. There's a minor flow difference.

What's the machine work cost to modify the housing?


The thing that irks me is all the people selling t3-60s as "super 60", knowing that they should get more money for an upgraded thrust and more expensive compressor... This guy sent me the inducer measurements and knows damn well that it's not a super-60:

Well if he sends you the wrong measurements, let him know that you *will* enforce the paypal $2000 protection scheme. But $85 for shipping... ---- that, not worth it at all.

Such custom fitted turbo is always gonna be more expensive because of the labor involved. i do a lot of this because for some reason, people find a SUPER 60 sexy but what's the point really? I mean, Going full t3/t4 is much simpler! From my point of view, slapping the proper sized t04B backplate and housing on that t4 wheel is cheaper and performs basically the same.

oh, for those who think turbonetics turbos systematically come with a 360° thrust, well, not really. i saw plenty with the regular thrust plate and when i saw some 360° thrust, it was rarely bolted down as it has to be in order for you to get the said benefits.

If you want a super 60 you could always go through Mopar, it would be a dodge flange. Got a couple of buddies with Omni's and daytonas with the Super 60 upgrade. An they are garret turbos.

Re: ID: t3-60 vs T3 "super 60" questions
 

get the 60 trim from Garrett ... those are proven to work very well, and the flow is about the same as with the super 60 one. Not to mention cheaper too.

Re: ID: t3-60 vs T3 "super 60" questions
 

Someone want to make me a deal on one? LEt me know..

Re: ID: t3-60 vs T3 "super 60" questions
 

these days, my current inventory allows me to offer the stage 1 t3 60trim .48/.60 for 399$ to HMT members.
6 month warranty on it.
You can choose two different compressor housings:

• The ford type with flanges
• the nissan Z31 type with 2.5" and 2" spouts.

you can have it upgraded with a T4 wheel as shown above, with the stage 1½ turbine, watercooling, 360° thrust, .63 turbine....possiblities are endless on t3 turbos!
You may be able to get a cheaper one in used condition on ebay, or "rebuilt" with chinese parts as the biggest ebay turbo shops do.

^ do not say "only" in front of any price that you advertise .. You should know how stupid this sounds
