difference between 46 trim & 60-1

[suprra_girl]

hey ya'll

i've got the choice to get a 60-1 and give my 46 trim to me mum..

what advantages has the 60-1 got over the 46 trim, whats spooling like... whats your overall opinion on the 60-1?

thanks

you sure you dont have a 56 trim? anyways, I had the 60-1 in my ct-26 7m. that thing was FAST. tires spun in 1st, 2nd and were making noise in 3rd. it was FAST. i ran about 18 psi, never did dyno it though. trust me, you WILL enjoy it. and thier was almost NO lag!

i heard that turbos with 60-1 trim only last around 10,000miles and then need a rebuild

 

[Ckanderson]

well if thats what you heard, it MUST be right! :/

 

[YoNkErS87t]

how long did you have your CT upgrade for?

 

[Ckanderson]

I had it for around 2k, then sold it. When I sold it it had almost zero shaft play. Some other guy is running it now, and hasnt had any problems. The turbo that has problems is the 62-1 that's getting really big. The 60-1 is a proven upgrade, and while it might not last as long as a 57 trim, it will certainly (unless it isn't built right) last past 10k. In the end though, your wisest choice is a full t04 setup. They have bigger shafts and will last a LONG time.

alot of it has to do with where you get the turbo rebuilt too...

my 57 trim is very stout - moves a lot more air over stock.

Mine lasted 20,000 miles. I certainly would not expect a full life from an upgraded CT26, but it is also a lot of turbo for little money. I'm sure having it rebuilt perfectly would help (mine had some minor shaft play when I got it back, but I've been religious with maintainence)

 

[suprra_girl]

hmmm i was told it was a 46 trim... it has a 50.9mm compressor wheel
does that = 46 trim?

my 46 trim made 278whp with still alot to go but rev limiter got in the way LOL (admittedly a 2nd gear run on the dyno tho )

Those that had their turbos rebuilt/upgraded, where did you have it done? And Ckanderson, what fuel mods were you running?

 

[suprra_girl]

well where i got mine done probly doesn't matter to you guys lol
but only fuel mod i had was a hks fcd lol

now i have a walbro and getting a fpr

I'm glad you brought up these questions because I am considering a used 60-1 upgraded CT and it looks like my mind can be a little more at ease, especially since I know the person I would be getting it from.

[suprra_girl]

doh! the question was aimed at ck lol
oh well hehe

so does anyone know for sure if the 50.9mm wheel is the 46 trim?

 

[Ckanderson]

Why are you giving me a "rolleyes' smily bert?

Anyways

I was running 550's and lex. ~14 psi daily.

 

[DrakeMK3]

Ck: Were you running an upgraded fuel pump, too?

suprra girl: sorry for hijacking.

the problem is that Trims and wheel diameters rarely correlate. you can have a 100 trim wheel but only a 46mm inducer. or i could have a 40 trim wheel with a 76mm inducer.

i would go for whatever one has a physically larger wheel. larger wheel has larger blades. larger blades can move more air. more air means more junk.

 

[Ckanderson]

Yes, walbro.
