do you have any specs for your t61? Ball or journal bearing (same question for both turbos)
07-31-2013
only thing about my turbo i know is that it came with the ct kit, its a Precision PT61 Turbo. 60-1 is ball

I believe you would be going backwards, but it's tough to say without knowing the 60-1 specs.
08-01-2013
i believe its a 60mm compressor wheel, ball bearing, liquid cooled

GMR any info of the turbonetics 60-1?

Too many variables.....Once you have a part number or something else to go by I'll be able to provide a little more info.Originally Posted by silver3

They are roughly about the same in theory......I'd suggest the 62-1 if you're looking for a slight upgrade

Hmm ok. Would you say the t67 would be too big?
08-01-2013
Some will argue that yes it's too big but on the other side of the argument is that everyone that has gone to the bigger turbo has never looked back. Everyone that has stepped up to the T67 (or equivalent) has loved it.
08-01-2013
Hmm your opinion, I have 2.5 pipes. Would that be too restrictive?
08-01-2013
There are people that have taken the 2.5" downpipe w/cutout to 550whp. With 3" downpipe it's a whole lot easier to hit the number. What are your overall goals?
I have a CT kit with a PT61 and as a DD it was a fun ride. Now that I have a 1" GMR I want to jump to the bigger turbo kit.
08-01-2013
No set goals bc I have no trans work. It's also my dd. just want something bigger just incase if I want to mod again ill be good.
08-01-2013
The Precision PT61 will be more than enough keep you happy for quite some time.
08-01-2013
These engines can put up a very large turbo. Even a t67 isn't "big" for these.
08-01-2013
Ok sounds good. I may have it rebuilt. There's a nick on the blade.
08-01-2013
Yea I heard the 3800 are good engine and can withstand a lot. One day when it's not my dd ill do more
08-02-2013
T67 is money sauce on a 3800, but it's not worth it unless you upgrade to 3" exhaust.
08-02-2013
I was considering doing a 3" from the dp to tips or just a 3" dp with cutout
08-02-2013
The 3" is nice but if you're on a budget stick with the 2.5" downpipe. Cartuning kit has been running them for years and people have had no problems putting down 500whp. I always mod on a very tight budget. Are you going to be tracking the car at all? Or you said that it was going to be your DD.
350whp makes it difficult to get traction
450whp almost impossible to get traction
550whp is just silly on the street
