Hi
Is this a good price for a custom single turbo setup?
Here are the things I put together to make this kit:
60-1 Turbo $725

TO4 manifold $490 (RX7 store)
HKS Standard WG $345 (RX7 store)
HKS SS BOV $199
piping, lines and gaskets $500
custom DP $200
the total is $2459.00

now i have some questions:
is that turbo the right one? isn't it a little cheap or do they normally go for that price?
also how much is a 62-1 turbo?
thanks alot

 

anyone?

 

You may want to check out wether that turbo is watercooled. It doesn't say on the page you posted. Oil-cooled only turbos are kind of old, and they can put a lot of stress on your oil-cooling system.

 

Here is my advice-from someone who has done this very thing. Get water cooled center section. Only use standard wastegate w/ 60-1 anything bigger will have problems. I did this for Nic (Suganuma)and his t61 and he had to get a new racing wastegate to control boost. Be sure you have a good place to make you a downpipe and dump pipe or you won't be happy. Look at a divided 1.0 or 1.15 housing. I think a t61 w/ 1.15 is a really good setup and that is what I got Nic into. Rubber can be good despite what some say, but be sure it is high temp rubber for industrial applications-else use stainless.

 

thanks alot guys.
more coments are also welcomed
