Explain turbo language please???
Buying a new turbo for my 87t2. I have looked at many different ones. Through some advice from Reted and a few othere's I have pretty much decided to go with a Turbonetics 60-1
. However, I am no expert and there are many different variations from Turbonetics when you buy one. This is what they offer.
"O or P trim turbine; .58, .69, .81, .96 A/R “on-center” turbine housing; dynamic or carbon (except “Big Shaft”) seal; wet or dry bearing housing - specify when ordering. 1.30 A/R “on-center” and a full range of tangential-style turbine housings are available as options."
Like I told Reted I'm looking for about 350hp. He said a 60-1 would produce that with ease, with othere mods of course. I know depending on these options will affect my spool up time, max power and othere things. Like I said I don't understand much of this so I would love for someone to explain. I will have a streetported motor if this helps. Thanks rotary brothers

are you upgrading your stock turbo or getting a full t04 setup with new manifold and external wastegate??
if you are upgrading find a 89-91 turbo and manifold and do that one instead.
can't help you on the numbers...

external is way better. half the reason to upgrade the turbo.
stock is internal.
I don't like the HKS manifold. it sticks out to far to the side and is not divided. My friend has the HKS manifold and had to bang a dent in the frame rail to clear the turbo. you would be better off with a divided manifold, more power and quicker spool up. not sure who makes them.

Try SOUTH FLORIDA PERFORMANCE. Ask for Juan. (305)233-8520
Make absolutely certain he knows the year and model of the rx7.
A divided manifold will run about 425 (estimate). With s&h + a custom flage for the 50mm w/g, mine ran me 550.
You will need an external w/g, the lines to and from the turbo, a bigger I/C, and lots of fuel.
I will be using the following turbo with a HALTECH w/2-700's and 2-1600's
Turbonetics-t66
Tuff turbo option
Tangw/divided 1.15 a/r housing
Ball Bearing
P trim
I have now switched to a .96 housing for the street.
According to Brian Cerny of Turbonetics there is not a whole lot of difference between the 60-1 and t66 until you get above 20psi, then the t66 flows more cfm; however, the 60-1 will have slightly less spool time. This is why I opted for the BBt66 turbo.
