Sounds kinda fun... Flows just a bit more than a 60-1. Any ideas on how this turbo might do for us?

I believe that it isn't really called the "Blowzilla" that is just a name dubbed by cheapturbo.com

My TO4R I bought from them is called "The Big Kahuna," I wouldn't let the nickname alter you decision to buy one, just go on the specs.

 

Agreed.

 

Interesting. If the inducer is 61 mm then it's probably a GT40 compressor (2.41"). That also correlates with the GT40 or GT35R ( GT3540) max flow of 65 lb/min. Therefore, this turbo should have similar spool to a 35R (roughly given it's not BB), but will have a larger T4 exhaust housing. Probably a very nice turbo for a rotary, particularly when using a .96 tangential/divided hot side.

There was some info posted a bit ago about trying to mate a 35R CHRA to a T4 exhaust housing. Consensus was that is cuold not be done due to the extreme amount of machining and material removal required. Apparently Cheap Turbo gets around this by using a standard (non ball bearing ) CHRA.

I'd make sure they're using the GT40 or GT35R compressor (it's an 82mm wheel) instead of a standard GT35 compressor, though, as the largest standard GT35 (76 mm wheel) only flows about 52 lb/min max.

Sorry if I made the title confusing... I was just copying what cheapturbo had nicknamed it... lol. Anyways, thanks for the info gfelber! I'm a little confused though... You mentioned 61mm inducer, then talked about the different wheels for the GT35,GT35R, and GT40 wheels... I'm not really understanding what you're saying. Could you please elaborate.

 

man and here i was thinking all GT series were BB. Some info i had heard floating around. I got so excited when i saw that price.
