[87gnand00ws6]

Hi guys. i currently have 50lb injectors , 3000 stall, and want a good street/strip turbo wich turbo does everyone like the most. i can get a good deal on the pte51 right now, thats probably what im gonna do, i just want a second opinion. oh and my goal is low 11's

 

[87gnand00ws6]

I agree with Dave, the PT52, 3,000 stall, and at least a set of 50# injectors is a killer street/strip combo.

I can't argue with the PT52 either.

 

[87gnand00ws6]

anyone know the best place to buy it, price wise too... What about a ta/52 is there much difference. Should i go precision, or john craig at limited. Price wise whose gonna offer the deal..

 

[turbodave231]

Call PTE, They ship fast, usually have the stuff in stock, and their stuff is high quality..... oh yeah, priced competitively too .

I've been using a TA-52 (Stock appearing turbo bell) for about 3 years now. That's what Harry had the the Nats a few years ago and that's what I bought.

I believe you can get a PT-52 which has the TE style compressor housing with the bell cast onto the compressor housing. I believe the TE housings flow slightly better.

 

[87gnand00ws6]

PT51 585
TA52 585
PT52 600
TA53 600
PT53 610

Are those numbers correct? i mean the pt51 will pull as much as the pt51. Would a ta53 be the same as the pt52?

Hmmm..You recommended me a PTE51 turbo back 2 years ago..yall not pushing those anymore? Ever get the exhaust wheel thing straight?
If it was me to do all over again...Id go with a TE60-TE-61 with john craig..my 51 does good but just wish id went a lil bigger

thanks guys

Thanks guys, i ordered the pt52 from precision today. i hope its all its cracked up to be, thanks ...

Is it gonna kill me if i dont have the 3000 stall for a few weeks. i plan on getting it soon, but my budget limits me temporarily. is it basically just going to be real laggy.

 

[Crazi]

I have a TA-54 and a 9x11 2800 stall. While I can't build boost at the line (tires spin at 0psi), I normally have full boost before second gear. I have been thinking about going up on the stall but since I don't run slicks and normally only run on the street, having the 2800 saves my tires and gives me a good jump from them not spinning.

With the stock turbo, the tires would spin EASILY.

I wish ya luck man..hope nothing happens to the turbo..harry is a pain to deal with..Ill never do buisness there again..john craig or possible cottons for me from now on..
Brian

 

[87gnand00ws6]

hmn

they seem ok, hope i have good luck..

 

[Eticket]

PT52 is the way to go...

I went an "easy" 121mph on my combo with much more to spare.. 3000 stall.. etc etc...

what type of converter are you going to buy?

I recomment Gomez, Toelle, Precision.. in that order.

Cost is factored

Brian,

If I made that suggestion to you 2 Years ago, I'm sure I suggested at that time, the best combo for your stated needs.
The PT-52 does as you know requires more stall than the PT-51.

Not sure what Stall speed or Injector size you had at the time, but I am sure it played heavily on the turbo selection/suggestion.

Regards,

Joe

Joe- how much stall would the PTE-54 require? thanks

 

[Mustang 1]

I like my PTE 52. With a CAS V-4,009"s,Art Carr 2800 stall loc-up convt I have ran 96mph in the 1/8th.Car runs stronger with a new chip from Joe.I have always had good service from PTE and Joe Lubrant.

I am responding from my home computer, and don't have a copy here of PTE stall suggested specs. If I recall correctly it is approx. 3200 rpm.

I'll double check tommorow, and correct if I am mistaken.
