mines looks to be a FD manifold.

Havoc

i have a Fd manifold on mine as well.

Personally I didn't make a spacer as was costly and a pain in the ***. change all the studs etc.

I had a wedge made up, so the turbo sits on a about 10 degree angle, which rotated it enough to clear the intake manifold.

Havoc

sorry bad pic, I cropped it from a pic from my phone :P

but you see the manifold flange, then the wedge made up between it and the turbo.
its about 5mm on side and 30mm on the other for interest.

i just got my car running im not using my turbo but have the whole set up with a tial bov an 50mm wastegate i have a really smae exhaust side thats one of the reasons its not on yet im ordering a bigger one from turbonetics with i get some money

Havoc

wow tiny exhaust housing :P

also for others, good 60-1 info. Saw other ppl listing turbo's that where no 60-1's

i dont know why people put a reducer on a turbo with a velocity stack. it pretty much counters the purpose of the velocity stack.

gabs88gxl

iTrader: (3)

what are u talking about. i dont have velocity stacks if u mean velocity stacks as in itbs no im runnin a stock TII 4 port. i have a t4 to t3 flange but its not reducing any exhaust flow to my turbo. just makin it so i can bolt the t3 to a t4 flange. are u talking about the intake on my turbo with that reducer. if thats what u mean i have that cause i would have to put on anyway cause im still running a maf on mine im just running a fcon not a standalone

mzrx7man

iTrader: (9)

omg... a velocity stack for example like on my turbo (62-1) is made to help "scavenge" more air into the turbo. its the large "trumpet" looking part of the compressor housing inlet.

gabs88gxl

iTrader: (3)

yea thats what mine is but its a stage 5 t3/t4 62-1 an i have to run the reducer either way cause it will either be on the cold side to intake pipe or the maf to the intake pipe. im not using a stand alone just something to manage fuel till i can get one...

mzrx7man

iTrader: (9)

ah, ok. i heard that the stock MAF reaches its flow capacity real quick, especially with a turbo that big. be careful with the boost.

also, our engines like to breath so a t3 isnt good for it. i know you said you were gonna go with a big t3 buts its still not big enough. i recommend at least a .96 t4 or bigger.

gabs88gxl

iTrader: (3)

yea thats why i bought a fuel controllerr syster to over write that crap its a fcon with a 3 bar pressure sensor dont know why i have the 3 bar but thats the only one i found that someone made for the PFC i would but i dont know anyone who has a t4 62-1 an im for sure not going to get a cheap ebay one... they have a ar.82 for a t3 but thats still pretty small its about the stock tII housing i think. but if u know anyone who has a t4 shaft an housing let me know

what tires setups are you guys running??? Cuz with my 60-1 setup, 1st and 2nd gear is useless for the street.

i am curious...how much tire spin are you guys having?? i whish my damn car was ready!!! GGgrrRrrRRr!!!

at the track i get no traction first or second but street tires plays a big role in that.

peachykeenwight

I get good traction when I drive it a certain way.. but it's easy to break the tires loose if you want.

Suspension plays a big factor, and my suspension isn't too crazy.. just where I like it at.

This is a 62-1, Don Marvel "large" streetport, methanol injection, BDC tune. 255s out back.

Havoc

I tend to get good traction in all gears. If I want to smoke them up it wasn't to hard.

But was running perreli 245's at the time.
As I had a NA diff my gearing will be slightly different to the rest of you.

I just recently found out how bad i need slicks when i went to the track at 15psi, lol.

I don't have a 2nd gen but I'm running a new 62-1 BB on-center Turbonetics, 0.96 AR on my FD.

Still don't have it tuned yet, have the AFR's pretty close but still need to do timing.

Anyway, I bought my car with a blown engine and bad turbo but all the piping was setup for an on-center 62-1 so that's what I went back with but upgraded to the BB version.

From what I gather, these turbos are the old Garrett/Honeywell units that were replaced by the GT35 and it's variants, and the design was sold to at least Turbonetics (in fact, it looks like Turbonetics' product lineup is mostly old Garrett designs). They're good turbos, just not the latest technology.

Maps! It took awhile to find these, very elusive:



I'm hoping for 4-450 on the BB 62-1 with pump gas and a decent street port. Don't know if that's going to happen or not yet...but that's what I'm hoping for and it looks like the compressor should support the mass flow. 500 may even be possible...

peachykeenwight

^ Trionic, I made 410 @ 1 bar on this setup (minus the alcohol) previously.

I'm going back to the dyno tomorrow morning, will let everyone know how it goes and post videos as well.

62-1 or 60-1? I'm guessing with the 0.96 AR hot side?

I have high hopes that I'll be in that 400+ neighborhood too.

The compressor maps say they'll do it.
