And comparing that to the map overlay TonyG in another thread the T61 looks like an alternative:
It seems that Tony G forgot to calculate with the engines VE. A VE at 85% vill lower the needed air of 15% and so on.

Rev/2 x displacement x VE x absolut pressure should be the formula to calculate needed air.

Should be about 37 lb/min

Aha thanks for the info Corleone.

BTW I found a very interesting dyno chart of 2.5l (stock except for the usual bolt ons) with a T65 turbo. Looks like pretty good match!

I can´t find any called T65. What can it be?

Duke,
I re did the map with 100% VE all across. And even at 100% its still on the surge line untill 4000rpm


And here the 60-1 AT 100% VE.


32lb/min is a bit low. Its about 37lb/min like Corleone said.

On TonyG sheet he goes up to 7500rpm. Only a bad *** head can do.

I think that a T61 would be a good drag car turbo.
Not really a good street or race track turbo.
Specially considering the big turbine wheel you have to use.

Hey Duke,
That's the sheet Tony used to compare my GT25R
to a 60-1hifi. Look at how much sooner the GT25R
makes boost. That's what you should be looking for.

Remember also the HIFI compressor map is slightly different from the 60-1...

When it comes to what all the different Garrets is called it will depend of who you ask. At my diagram my compressor is called GT37, 56 * 0.50. T04E
Corleone,

Your turbo looks very similar to ATP Turbo's GT3071R - http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...egory_Code=GRT
How do your turbine and compressor wheels compare in size? Do you think this turbo would be suitable for a 3.0L using a .82 a/r turbine housing?

Thanks
Vic

Edman951,

I will contact precision turbo again this morning, you have a good point about the covers. If I am not going to use the orginal GT series cover, why not ask if the Garrett kkk compatible cover will bolt onto the GT32? Otherwise one more flange to weld. Has anyone double checked my flow mapping on the GT32. At 85-90% VE around 3000, I am just right of the surge line at a pressure ratio of about 2.2 (15 psi). Then landing right in the sweet spot as the VE rolls of at 6500. It looks like the turbo could hit 20psi 3700-4200.

mrfixit951,
That would defeat the purpose of taking the GT route.
Note that the improvement is not only in the compressor
& turbine wheel design. The T3 housing is also a better
hot housing . Better yet why not get the GT hot That way you only have to mod the crossover
flange just like what Edman did.

J Chen,

I have been talking precision turbo, which is a Garrett Performance Distributor. The true Garett Gt30 turbo only comes with the GT four bolt discharge as shown in Garrettt's catalog. The T3 flange version that Edman used is made by Garrett, but the turbine is a T3 housing machinged for a GT turbine wheel. The internal wastegate units (not our application) comes with a different flange style. I am curious to see the price of the GT32 with the KKK compatible turbine housing. I think others on the list will be interested too. With that said my route will probably be the GT32 with the GT turbine side housing.

I wish someone would fabricate a new crossover pipe at an affordable price... given the low prices on full Garret turbos (including hot-side) a crossover might be worth a few bucks.

mrfixit,
Just visited pgparts website. Please do not buy the turbo
just base on the price alone. Yes I understand their pricing
is attractive. Have you confimed that the turbine & compressor
trim are true GT series & not just other Garrett parts ?
Have you seen the turbo first hand. Do note that the tolerance
between the blades & the cover is very important. To fit housings
other than the original specified units will require machinening of
the housing or in one case that I've seen contouring of the blades
to match the compressor housing which is a no no. Try to find out
more about what is being done to fit the compressor & turbine
housing.

Hey Duke,
If you're talking GT series, don't forget about
modified engine mounts. Lots of cutting &
grinding there to clear the CHRA.
