hey guys (and gals??)

looking for any good pictures of setups using turblowns TD61.
preferably close ups of the oil attachment method you have used, but overall shots would be cool and helpful as well. thanks!

 

IRP installed one not too long ago. I'll see if I have a pic somewhere

Edit:

Here ya go. A few fitment issues, ie the WG hangs a bit below the subframe, and also Ihor had to wrap the PS motor mount in DEI TI exhaust wrap b/c there is no room for the OEM heat shield. This particular car also had problems with oil smoke out the exhaust and needed some serious crankcase ventilation to alleviate the problem.

Having said all that, this setup boost very quickly on a stock port engine and is very fun to drive on the street. It's high quality and in the end was worth dealing with the few small issues. It belongs to DJF(NJ), search and you'll find his thread with dyno results etc.

 

Hey Rich it's actually a T04E I think Elliots TD61 is a modified GT35R?

 

its supposed to be a modified gt35r...
but ive been trying to gather pictures. i think i may have been misled, but want lots of pictures of other peoples td61 setup to be sure, before i make ANY claims.

 

The bearing housing on the TD61( T3/T4 Garrett BB bearing housing(flanged)) is not the same as the GT35R( GT bearing housing, no flange) . They do however use the same oil inlet thread pitch. Hope this helps, feel free to PM/Call with any concerns.

Don/Rich glad to hear you got the smoking issue to go away!

 

 

Sorry I just got it so I was excited to post lol

here is what you are looking for I think

 

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. thank you!

 

I'm not sure I'm following all of the above, but thank you for the reply.
anyway, someone I talked to told me that the chra is not of any Garrett design, and actually very closely resembles something made by Precision turbo. I then consulted someone else, who said they were not sure what Precision's products look like, but that the turbo I have "definitely" is not made by Garrett. The second source also mentioned a Garrett identification tag which should be present somewhere on the turbo (which is also missing from all the other TD61 pictures I could find). So, I'm rather confused as to what turbo it is that I actually own? It is indeed ball bearing, correct? And I should then make sure to use an oil restrictor for the feed line, correct?
Is it really a Garrett product, or is it something else?

 

Hey Elliot..she's running beautifully now..thanks!

 

The turbo you have, and every TD61 is 100% Garrett Parts( there is a custom backplate and compressor nut however). They are even covered under warranty by Garrett. You're sources only know Garrett's GT lineup...

 

Here are my pics, mine's using a GTX wheel

You got that thing running yet? I am doing another TDX61( GTX35R/Ptrim) system in a Toyota Starlet currently.. Should go quite well

 

no offense, but unless that source IS Garrett themselves... it doesn't mean much.

 

running on twins still, im daily driving it since my other car broke. no work will be done on it until i find another means of transport

I do have the whole setup though! dual wg (38mm atmo dumped tial) shorty mani, 3.5" dp, 750/2200 injectors with Walbro 400, Ported UIM and Xcessive LIM and oil pan, all lines, fittings, gaskets, mechanical WI kit, Mikuni omp, all taunting me from within their boxes! I need to get the other car fixed asap!

Ironic isn't it? That Im daily driving the FD because the daily driver broke (00 protege with 220k miles) hahaha

 

okay. thats what I was hoping I would hear.
so, it is still dual ball bearing then, correct?

 

no offense taken.
and thats exactly why I wanted to ask, and see what others had.

 

from the stuff ive seen, the td61 is a hell of a turbo on our cars... i think youre gonna love it

 

I hope so!
thanks!

 

Can you get one with a stainless hotside?

 

Unfortunately not.

And yes Blade your turbo is Ball Bearing.

 

excellent. thank you again Elliot!

 

I love hearing things about the TD61 im so excited for this summer!!
