Gt6152e

[DCVING 6]

Is there any difference in this and a PT-61?

would a 3000 stall work with the GT series?

pt61 is 6152e , 3200-3400 would be better,
a 6131e would be a better match for a 3000
but a 3000 can work for pt61

same turbo I run on my car...

I run a 3200 n-l art carr converter and this thing spools instantly on the street...

it will work with a 3000 but won't be as snappy...by far the most powerful street/strip turbo out there for the money...

Don,

What is the power output difference between the two turbine wheels?

Don,

What is the power output difference between the twin turbine wheels?

Not very much...the 6131 is a limited build turbo and might make 25 horse less than the T-350 wheel (6152). I always like to see the 6152 because it will flow better on the exhaust side versus a big comp wheel/small exhaust wheel combo like the 6131

Thanks for the quick response.
There is a little stock converter issue. :tongue:

I have a related question...... :biggrin:

What is the difference between the GT6152E and the TE61 w/garrett .63 exhaust housing

I know the wheels are slightly different... but real world.... spoolup vs top end hp potential..... and when do either become better suited than the other.... i.e. @ what boost does turbo x become better than turbo y ..... but turbo x or y is much better overall if boost is kept below ??

Clear as mud?

some of you guys get too caught up in specs sometimes

the TE-61 is NOT the same as the PT61...two totally different compressor wheels...the new 61 is a Garrett GT comp wheel used on the GT35R ball bearing turbo...according to the compressor map on that turbo and from my personal experience, that turbo is most efficient (almost 80%) at 20-22 lbs of boost....it's still nearly 76-78% efficient at around 25 lbs...then it starts to fall off...but it's nearly 70% at 30 lbs...plenty of sport compact guys out there run this compressor up to 35 lbs all day long and they are making nearly 600 hp to the tires...so it's a really good compressor wheel...the TE61 wheel doesn't even come close...

That makes sense. There are a few EVOs running around making over 600 whp with the GT35Rs. I have a brand new PT6152 sitting in my engine bay that I can't wait to push 20 psi out of.
