hey all im looking at putting a bigger turbo on my 33 s2 ive found someone willing to sell their turbonetics t60-1 turbo with exhaust mani and dump with a wastegate and red jacket bosch injectors (600CC) i think also for sale with it is a EMS 4424 Stinger ECU system, Air filter fabrication etc

Okay so I've been told the T60 is an older turbo design etc and i should go for something newer but the price is making me think twice i would also need a metal cat i've been told and also the EMS Stinger isnt a good application for my setup on a R33.. would i also need to modify my intercooler piping and also my intake mani should it be changed to aftermarket?

anyways im seeking some help here, im getting coilovers put on my car anyways so i was looking for some help regarding a bigger turbo.

and total cost of installation and tuning where is a good place that does this and at a good price

thanks in advance guys..

There's a reason someone is selling that old turbo. They want a new one. Why would you go to the effort and expense of getting stuff made up to suit a crappy old turbo when it will effectively lock you into using that crappy old turbo (unless you pay more to modify again)? You could spend the same money required to fit the crappy old stuff on making brand new shiny stuff fit, and the only cost difference is that between the old crappy stuff and the brand new shiny stuff.

Just because something is cheap is not a reason to jump on it.

For quite some time you've been able to buy a ball bearing cartridge for those brand new . Search T4R 60-1 .

Originally they were a Garrett turbo with a T4 P trim turbine and a T4 60-1 compressor (7/7 blade 76mm 60 trim) . T4 turbine housing and T04S 0.70 AR comp housing .

The closest thing these days is probably a GT3576R .

      @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?

      Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!

      I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).

      At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself

      I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
