Turbo ta-60,ta-51

[Quick6'n'-K.C.]

Here is my holset turbo. I went to local store and bought pipes and flange for installing downpipe. I think i dont have to much cutting for downpipe and kb-headers..

I think this should be transferred to tech forum?

I could move it to the tech area, but there seems to be alot of traffic here too.

If its too much work for you to upload the pictures, i can change the title of the thread and delete a few posts on this thread if you want, then move it.

That turbo looks great, i bet it makes some serious power.

What torque convertor are you going to be using?

Nice setup

So, this turbo is fairly small then in power gains? And Im taking it, it has to spool pretty high to make the power? Seems like that thing would screem like supra turbos, but not make a ton of power.

supra turbos

supras has used 60-1 turbos much like commonly used on buicks ta-60 (830 cfm) ,te-60 (900 cfm), ta-61 (900 cfm), te-62 (935 cfm).
I choosed holset because it is easy and cheap to upgrade. Lots of different housings, at least 6 from holset, switzer housing are fully usable too.
6,7,8 blade compressor wheels +billet wheels are available too. I think we found very good combo from there.

So how much did this cost? And what is the hp level at what psi(for the one you've got now)?
