As you can see here I have this Edge/Turbonetics turbo which is to the best of my knowledge a T-58 compressor ( 58.4 mm inducer) with a 68mm 10blade Q-trim turbine. The turbine housing is .84 A/R and a 4" V-Band outlet.
Its non-wastegated, has a mass flow of around 60 lbs/min, with a peak pressure ratio of 3.8. I plan on running it as a single to see how well it will hold up to me putting it through the paces, before I use it as a secondary.
I have read as many threads as possible on this turbo and understand the very first ones had issues. Turbonetics supposedly took care of the issue.
I wanted a BB/BB , but was deterred in useing a BB as a seconday because I was told they have no side load dampening ability,and thought that maybe a turbo with a front ceramic thrust bearing and rear ball bearing might live longer and be more robust in this application.
As of today, I plan on a GT4202R as a primary, maybe a 4508R. ? I dont know what would fit it better. The 2/3 ratio would be a 77mm comp which is about right in the middle of the two.
I know I will be running a Ext. gate but am unsure of what size at the moment.
The truck is just a street truck and spool-up is a main concern.
So...... lets here it.
On a side note, I did ride in 35/K31 truck, loved it, and hope that the above setup will spool just as nice as they did.
Thanks,
Eric
