6266 journal bearing stall

[49-blues]

Is a 3500 too much stall for this turbo? How about a 3200?

i have a 70 now, at 3500 stall. i have the same question. 6262 or 6266 would be better on the street. ty

I am no expert, but my answer is “It depends”.

Are you talking 0/0 advertised, true 0/0 stall?
Is the car build for street or strip?
What cam/CID/CR/Shift RPM?

Here is what I just posted in a current converter thread -

Many of the street/strip builds I have done lately have used 67 to 70mm turbos.

I have found that if we do not have a converter that will stall a minimum of 3100 RPM at 0 boost, it will be a laggy dog, even if it is a BB center section!

Depends on what 3500 and what it stalls to at full power. To put it simply I've yet to see a converter under $850 that can couple the power a turbo like that could produce.
