Can i spool a 61

[tbauer03]

Hey i was oringinal planning on running the gt35r which is a great turbo and all but the one i put a deposit down on the 4inch compressor cover won't fit. Anyway i was looking at getting a PTE 61 because i was wanting to get the power for 11's but still wanting my 2800 9/11 converter after talking to ERUE he said bc i was running a 422 cam it would compensate for the lower stall speed. and i could actually run any turbo from a 52 to a 67 with out having intolerable spool up. Anyway i was just looking for more opinions on this. What would u all reccomend out of these turbos 52 54 61 or 67 and why.

My first setup had a 54 with 2800 stall. I thought spool up was great. No trouble building boost at launch, or driving. My truck was poorly tuned also, always running rich.

Oh, 412 cam here.

yeah u can spool a 61 no problem

Mike Renz has a 61. I am not sure how it runs. I would think you would be able to spool it with a 2800. I am using a stocker with the GT35R.

I have the PT61 w/ a gt wheel. Not sure if this is the same turbo you're talking about or not.

I really can't tell you how well it spools...every time i step into boost (just running base boost of 7psi right now) it pops something off. It sure seems like it builds boost fast, but i can't say how fast it'd spool to say 15 or 20psi.

I have a 9/11 2800, 412 cam, vortecs, and a few other minor mods.

dude don't give up on the bb! Crap take a ride over to me and we will get it on! Once you go dual bb you will never go back! With the gt35 and a bone stock engine i pulled a 12.1 on stock timing with some c16. You will be wayyy into the 11's with a bb and what you have. Waller said 11's are not looking like a problem even with what's done to my ty right now with a little less octane and more timing so that should give you an idea being you have more done. Maybe eric can work something out where you can get the 3" cover?

Yeah he could get a 3 inch cover but the price would be alot more than what i was going to pay for the 4inch at the gp rate. Right now i am thinking about getting a Stealth turbo which could actually make more power and would be a direct bolt on so that would be nice and i think that is the route i will go.
