Has anybody replaced the 60-1 from the turbonetics kit with a precision 6262? I'm planning on doing this but I want to make sure it clears everything since the 60-1 is already jammed against the corner of the radiator. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Yikes that's tight...

How's the heat soak on that?

 

Not too bad. Took a long trip from NC to GA and back without any issues. I'm just worried that the compressor housing of the precision will be larger and won't fit

 

I'll be revisiting this thread after some time. I'm just now installing my t60 turbonetics kit but I've contemplated that when the turbo does go or the block is finally built, i'll be ditching it for a precision 6266 as well. For my power goals, it might not also be necessary and could probably just get a replacement T60 with the ball bearing upgrade and just be happy around the 500's.

 

Has has a blanket on his. Mine makes the metal housing behind the headlight almost unable to touch...need a blanket

 

Bump for useful answers

 

You want me to measure my 6266?

That of any use?

 

6262 is too small for the VQ. Get the 6266, and if you plan on using the T3 housing, go with the largest available, which unfortunately is still on the small side.

Make sure you get the E compressor cover to maximize space, as it has the 3" inlet, and 2" outlet.

 

It might help a bit. What setup are you running it on?

 

I had my sights on the 6262 with the ported S cover which is the 4 inch inlet and 2.5 inch outlet. Why do you say the 6262 is too small?

 

You need a bigger turbine wheel for higher efficiency. I use 6266's in a T4 1.15 a/r twin scroll turbines as standard size for turbo kits. The 6262 will choke the engine.

 

I plan on using the t3 .82 a/r. You're saying that will not flow enough? Keep in mind this is going to be on a stock block build and under 10 psi

 

T3 = too small. That would be a nice torque monster via back pressure

 

Why change at all? I don't see a point

 

I'm going to run one of boosted performance kits.

Luckily I'm lazy and it's still in the box in the garage so I can measure it easily.

I'll try and measure it when I get home. If I remember.

 

I see what you're saying but it'll suit my needs for now.
It appears that the seals on the current turbo are going bad for the second time. I bought the kit used and the previous owner already had the turbo rebuilt once before. I'd like to use a more reliable turbo instead of doing multiple rebuilds
