Another turbo question

[Don W.]

Well I've been studying up on turbo's. With my new build I'm quite sure my stock turbo has long since given up at around 3500-4000 depending on boost. I didn't think it would work very well, I just needed to get the Sy running and out of the shop I had access to.

Anyway, what I have coming is a TD-06 mated to a 60-1 compressor. Still learning here but it looks like it should work. I'll figure out more specs when it gets here but it was originally built for a Sy to make 450-500hp.

So for now all comments appreciated.

Thanks all.

Re: Another turbo question

What happened? No one wants to answer? DAQ quotient to high? :rotf:

I am definitely undersized with the stock turbo so if anyone want to chime in I'd appreciate it. One way or the other.

Might look something like this? http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=53545
Or are you getting the larger compressor housing?

Where are you getting turbo from?

Hope you got the bigger (14cm2) exhaust side, vs. the stock 8cm back end.

I've had a bit of experience with these... had a heavy Ty running 11.8s on real pump gas (no alky) with one.

Just curious what stall was the converter?

Dig,

Thanks for your comment.

The outlet diameter of the turbo (where the DP bolts on) is 2 3/8 which is about 50.8 cm if I did my math right. The plug is still there. I'll post up a couple of pics.

Re: Another turbo question

Did you get any pics of the turbo?

TD-06 mated to a 60-1 compressor,is that what you are using,what are the specs?

Other than that I have no specs. Here's some pics of the install. It's a work-in-progress as I haven't figured how to get a cold air and filter on the thing yet.

Re: Another turbo question

Thanks Don. Looks good.

That is a aftermarket compressor housing.

Do you have room for a Cobra elbow?

Re: Another turbo question

Right now, no room. I was thinkin' of having the 4" throat cut to 3" at a machine shop which would, in turn, give me a bit more room. I've also thought of having a custom cold air fabbed up. May have to mod, IE cut, the upper fan shroud. A work in progress at this time. What I'm liking is boost comes up to 20# and just sits there. Yea it moves a bit but compared to my stocker, even back on the stock motor this thing is rock solid. When things are right the boost line on DM is virtually a flat line. I have not tried to run more than 20#.
