60-1 reliability issues?

There are few things more entertaining than watching someone show up with knife to a gunfight. When seasoned turbo rebuilding professionals are posting based upon years of experience, scientific data and testing, and you show up and post about a chainsaws, you really look like a fucking moron....

Best quote of 2008 to date.

If you could weldup the stock 7m manifold to be a true divided manifold to work with that housing, you might just have the fastest spooling 7m to date.
I kinda think its more effort than its worth, but thats what owning a supra is all about. Being innovative.
It was suggested to me by a local turbo builder (20+years) that the relibaility lies in changing to an MR2 housing since it is able to expel exhaust gasses faster via wastgate door (during shifts). He also said that the MR2 housing has the exact same deminsions as the supra housing, through a visual inspection I can say I have no problems believing him.
Not buying it. Its not about how fast the wastegate can expel the gasses.
Its all about trying to stash 10 lbs of shit in a 2 lb sack.

lol, yeah you're probably right not quite that much. In my defense i was pretty damn wasted when i posted that.
Anyway...i wouldn't be surprised if i saw that number in the 13-14psi range and a tune. Of course this is estimating from a race of a C5 so its not exactly accurate but at least i can get an idea of where im at. A stock ls1 throws down an average 300-310WHP, you add in some exhaust intake and ECU mods and take weight difference into consideration theres no way im putting down much less than him since we were pretty much dead even from a dig (im not sure how much of the difference in gearing changes things off hand)
i have a friend thats running a 60-1 ct26 with the garrett cartridge on his turbo A , i believe he bought it from mike turbos in the u.s, can anyone shed any light if these have a longer life? do they run a bigger shaft?

Not really a bigger shaft, but a better thrust bearing assembly and oiling system for sure!
Should live, but then again you have a high flow wheel in a low flow compressor housing.
Well MDC what do you think of a 60-1 with an MR2 exhaust housing? When you mentioned welding the stock manifold you ment dividing the first three firing cylinders from the last three correct...i have a few books that contains some manifold building info ill check it out? Ialso have full access to UNOH's fab shop as that was the class i took last session, this could be a good deal!!!

thanks for the info:icon_bigg now how about the garrett cartridge and a 57 trim, anyone build that?

60-1 in the ct26 compressor housing is going to die.
/of story.
Its not going to matter what exhaust housing you put on it.

Im sure some one some where could shoe in a to4e bearing housing into ct26 housings...
I guess Im lucky (for the 1st time in my life) because Ive been running a 60-1 for about 5 years now at 10-20 psi. It was a daily for about 3.5 of those 5. I ran 10 psi for about a year, then 20 from there on out. I checked the shaft play just this past weekend and guess what, no shaft play whatsoever.
I have heard horror stories about 60-1's but I personally havent experienced it. But I would listen to the turbo expert if I were you.

Interesting.
Tell us about your setup.
1.)IC
2.)Piping size
3.)BOV make, and location
4.)Intake setup

after some reading performance techniques (PT) has had good reviews with thier 60-1 upgrades.

No one else caught this? :bsflag:
FWIW, I've got a 62-1. I have a little compressor surge, and I'm assuming it's been run this way the whole time it's been in use. It's been at 15PSI for at least a thousand miles, still no shaft play.

Quinn, its true.
What you're not told is - it was done on a 7mGE pistoned engine, not a GTE.
