Wicked Wheel vs 60 - 1

[Thewespaul]

Agreed. What size is the larger wheel? Do you feel it’s a worth while upgrade?

Russ, I'd like to know your opinion as well

Not a great picture for comparison but it's the only one I have right now.

60-1 on left T04E H3 on right? Curious to know more about the hotside wheel upgrade.

 

[rhkcommander]

aside from wheel upgrades, what are the best turbos to upgrade to right now - s360 or what?

I have whatever the non-wg banks is, I forget..

For the 60-1 wheel, the machining is only required if you keep the same compressor housing and backing plate. You are putting a larger compressor wheel (a 60-1) into a compressor housing meant for a smaller compressor wheel - the machining is to fit it.

The alternative is to buy a 60-1 backing plate and compressor housing. They bolt on. I choose this route for no particular reason.

Here is the thread that inspired me to go the route I did.

Whoa that's pretty sweet. Got a build thread? Dyno sheet?

Both 60-1, one billet the other not.
I have machined the turbine for a P trim wheel a few times, I would prefer to do the N trim but its not always available affordably. There is a stage 5 I see out there which may be a good option.
I dont know about the BW turbos, thats Justins thing.
I can do this compressor upgrade on All the garret based turbos, Factory, ATS 085,088,093 and early banks and hypermax.
I am doing a similar replacemrnt wheel on the wastegated banks when its available.
No thread or dyno sheets, thats up to you guys. My job is 12+ hours a day.

 

[The_Josh_Bear]

Any feedback on the billet wheel yet? Like how much faster spooling, etc?

Hahaha I don't mainly because it was all off the shelf - R&D stage 1 and omega moose pump. None of it is "mine". All I did was a cut and turn on a Powerstroke down pipe and reweld. I did weld my own intake manifold but against it was just a copy of the work R&D did. That just took an extra eBay manifold, careful measurements, a sawzall blade, and some aluminum to weld with a 45 degree 3" elbow sticking out.

Get that sucker on the dyno! I really want to know what that omega moose puts down.
