I just got this t04b bb turbo thinking it was going to be a monster turbo, but when I compared it to the stock turbo II turbo I was a little shocked. not much bigger that stock. only the cold side is slightly bigger

any of you guys have to4bs??

 

Here is my 60-1 on my car from turbonetics, sorry I dont have any pics of just the turbo itself at the moment, But its quite a bit larger then my old stocker

 

man i like that cold side housing with the big turbonetics imprint on it..

what wastegate are you using with that turbo???

 

damn... that is a little small.... doesnt look much bigger at all.... glad i went t70

 

turbosmart 38mm gate, plenty big for what I need

 

how about your manifold ,i have been trying to find a good manifold

 

TO4B is small, really only a 350-375whp turbo.

 

looks like its a bit bigger

 

well i guess thats ok for now considering its on a stock tII engine

 

his turbo does look small, so those numbers sound right. The manifold I have is made by 1revvin7 and is ceramic coated inside and out. You can get it at turblown.net

 

Your 60-1 comes with a T04B compressor cover - 3" inlet.
Some of the 60-1's come with a TS04 compressor cover - 4" inlet.
Do you have a 60-1 "Hi-Fi"?

Your 60-1 also comes with an on-center turbine housing.
This might not fit, depending on the turbo exhaust manifold.
The on-center also is not as efficient as a tangential.

Here is a pic of the turbonetics 60-1 compared to a hybrid S5 T04

The rest of the pics of the project are at this link : http://www.banzairacing.net/fehsenfeld_smp.htm

 

put it on the car and im sure the difference will be considerable (in performance terms)

 

thats a good looking car banzai

 

i am sure its gonna make more power than stock.

does any of you know whats the better wategate to match this turbo??

 

any one

 

38 to 40mm will be fine I'm sure. Also listen to reted about the oncenter housing. If you are using a cast hks or ebay knock off it will not fit until you get a tangential housing.

 

what manifold will this housing fit?

 

what do you mean by tangential.

how can you tell it wont fit a t4 flange??

 

I need to take a picture of this for people. I see so many people running that turbine housing, and they don't know that it will make a considerable negative impact on " turbo lag"

That turbo will make a LOT more than the stock turbo...

 

i dont understand what you said!....so my turbo housing it good or bad??

 

tangential housing fitment.



oncenter housing fitment.



as you can tell the tangential housing works great however the oncenter just doesn't fit (turbine side hits the frame rail). you can get a hammer and dent the thing or cut it but I just think thats ghetto. Also the oncenter housing is very restrictive compared to the tangential housing.

edit: also if you deside to stay with the 4bolt flanged oncenter housing please note that the 4bolt pattern is differant than the tange 4 bolt pattern so you have to specify to whoever you get the downpipe flange from that you need one for an oncenter housing.

 

hoooo **** i see what you mean!!!!..damn now i have to spend another $300 for a tang housing?? **** man this **** is getting too expensive...

my exhaust housing is .81 A/R can i upgrade to a bigger like housing with out changing the turbine wheel??

or should i keep .81 just upgrade it to a div-tang

 

Well.. i had something similar,(or maybe i am not understanding proper) but had to use a spacer (i'll get a pic to show ya). And remember the outlet hole from the compressor is bigger then the stocker. Remember 10PSI Thru a straw IS NOT EQUAL to 10PSI thru a papertowel roll. Both are 10PSI yes, but the volume of air being pushed is quite different, almost exponentially so keep that inmind.

 

where did you get that spacer?
will that work with my turbo?

i have spend about $6,000 on parts and i realy can`t aford to go buying more i need quick solutions to what i have
