Best new turbo for 3200 PTC LU converter

[49-blues]

What new turbo will give me the best street manners/power/ mileage with a new 3200 stall PTC LU converter? Would a T-70 BB work well with a 3200?

Hmm, you are kinda going backwards. Normally the converter is spec'ed to the build and not the other way around. Any idea what combo the converter was built for?

billet 6765bb works great with a 3200

What cam are you running?

TE45A would be an animal with a 3200 TC

It's for a friends car, it has a stock longblock-39K miles on the car, I came across a good trade that involves me getting a new PTC 3200 lock up converter, i will also be putting in a TT chip for 60 lb injectors, a new pump and hot wire for fuel pump so I'm trying to figure out which turbo to match up with the converter-I have a spare TE-60 with 63 housing and also a Garret 63 housing.

on a stock motor,why not a 44,61 or 62?

 

[Mr.Spool]

throw that 60 with the bigger ex housing on there and see how it feels.

Thats what i was thinking but the wastegate hole is ported for a external wastegate and the garret isnt which i think will be too small.

My $.02

I had the PTC 3200. It was way too loose on the top end. If I would have asked Dusty before I ordered... I would have been all set.

My PTC 3200 flashed at 4700rpm. When I shifted out manually at 5900rpm it only dropped 350rpm to 5550rpm on shifts. My new converter flashes at 3200rpm.. manually shift out at 5900rpm then drops to 5100rpm. Perfect for setup!!!

IMHO, I think you should send that converter back to Dusty and have it restalled and refreshed. I won't go any higher than 2600-2800 with this 10" lock-up unit.

A 3200 stall is not a good match with a stock cam. They need to shift way to early. A good combo for a stock cam car is something like a 2600-2800 stall with no larger than a 61 or 62 DBB turbo. If using a journal bearing turbo, the TE-44 is good.

When you put a converter that stalls over 3000 with a stock cam, there is not enough room between the flash stall and the shift point for the converter to couple.

Dusty-so a TE-60 with a Garret .63 housing would be a good match for a 2600-2800 10" lock up converter with stock cam? If so I d go with that.

9X11 3000 stall

Should have added that I have a Comp Cams 210 Roller Cam/6262 turbo. This is why I manually shift higher on RPM. 5800-5900 is great for 1/2 2/3 shifts for my setup.

If I would have listened to Dusty... I would have gotten it right the first time without spending more $$$.

Yes, a TE-60 is as large of a journal bearing turbo that I would go with a 2800 stall.
