hey, i'm about to buy a turbo off some kid i work with and i was just wondering if it's a super 60. it's a t3, .60/.63 ar. i'm almost positive it is, i just want to make sure

 

Super 60 is .48/.60 60 Trim with the larger inducer. Like 1.910 or close.

 

so would i just be getting a big t3 for the most part?

 

sure

 

the 60/63 is larger than the super 60. like csaddict said.

 

where are you guys getting your information from super 60 is a comp wheel and can be mated with a .48, .63, .82, ect turbine housing. doesnt matter but be carefull i've seen regular t3 60trim's called a supper 60's not that its too big of a difference the t3 60trim flows 34lb/min and a super 60 flows 36lb/min the easiest way is to remove the comp housing and measure the inducer. a t3 60 trim measures at 1.830" and 2.367" the super 60 measures at 1.900 and 2.367

 

are you trying to say that the .63 AR compressor from a merker t3 .60/.63 is smaller than the super60 trim t3 compressor?

the point we were trying to make is exactly as you said, the super60 has a larger inducer than the regular .60AR compressor.

 

actually the .48 and the .63 refer to the turbine housing a/r not the compressor. they are both t3 60 trim compressors. the larger the a/r on the exhaust the longer it takes to spool but it pulles better up top.(less back pressure) the super 60 trim t3 is larger than the turboford t3 60 trim. not by much (only 2lb/min) and all of the merkur xr4ti's came with .48 a/r turbine housings from the factory but you do find .63's on there from time to time from the previous owners getting them changed by warranty or upgrading.
