is there anyway to find out what the A/R and trim are on a turbo by looking at it? I just got a 60-1 but the guy I got it from didn't know much about it. On the front housing it says A/R .55 M12 P does that mean that it is a A/R .55 with P tirm? I hope not.

Well, it is a .55 on the compressor side..


To find out the Turbine A/R look inside the exaust flange. It should be stamped..

it say this

2
.32

Can I buy just a new hot side with a A/R of about .86 and put it on here? or would I be better off to just sell the fu@ker and get a nother one?

whats a good A/R for the compressor side?

Depends on how much you spend on it..


But yes you can just change out the hot side..


I would do either a .84, .96, 1.15..... Depending on what you are looking for..


1.15 would be more topend power.




BTW you can get a new 60-1 for around 600-700 usually...

i got this one for $565 shipped, only a month old.

Then i would try to get out from under it for what you paied.. and buy a new one with the correct exhaust housing.. A .32 is way to small for a rotary.. Try to sell it on the supra forum maybe..


I would check with greg, or the RX7Store.. they both have good prices.

upon closer inspection i found a 1 stamped in front of that .32 making a 1.32 AR on the hot side. when can i expect that thing to spool up?

Is that too big?

A/R 1.32 on the Exhaust side!!!

Holy ****, lots of power buddy...

...and lots of lag too...

but the top end will SO be worth it.

Ridge Tech

the 1 was not stamped into the metal all the way, i took some water and rag and cleaned it up and sure enough there it is clear as day 1.32 with a steetported motor what type of power do you think i'm going to be laying down?

If you've dealt with turbine's long enough, you start to get to know sizes. There's a BIG difference between .32 and 1.32.

Depending on what you want to boost, is dependent on what HP you'll achieve.

a T-04S boosting 1.5 will put out 530 hp to the wheels on a 13B-REW...

...But I think I'll go with either the 68-1 or the T-66....

zyounker

Ok, 1.32 is good.. A large street ported rotary will love it


It will be a little laggy, but not to bad.. Thee top end pull will be awsome.. it feals like it is just gonna keep going forever...

Your compressor looks exactly like the T04S04 that I had.

I'm sorry, who did you say noticed the "1" ???

Ridge Tech

ok, heath found the 1 samped in the housing. at first i didn't belive it, just looked like a rough casting, but when i took it apart "I" found the 1 stamped on the outside of the housing.

MikeL is that good? or just an observation?

MikeL

Garrett T04S04 is the same as a Turbonetics TS04, or so I've been told by two different turbo retailers. The only supposed difference is the 4" inlet on the TS04 vs the 3" inlet on the T04S04.

I was told by one of the turbo people that the Turbonetics TS04 is a copy of the Garrett T04S04, except for the inlet size. I have not personally looked up the specs to verify what I was told.

http://64.225.76.178/main.htm sells the TS04 for $1259.98

HAHA! I'm just glad the turbo is going to work out for you.

kabooski

That turbo is used on International/Navistar
and you can buy a re-built unit from a diesel retailer
for less then a grand

it is used on Bus/tractor engine make DT466C

MikeL and kabooski, you guys lost me.
