62 turbo...work or no

[rbrettctd]

Will a 62mm inducer turbo work for me or not? I plan on going intercooled this winter, and seeing as how Im selling off some unneeded vehicles Im gonna get a new turbo. Will a phatshaft or htt 62 work well with pods? Eventually Ill go with some 435edms or the likeness.

What speed can you get up to without overly-high EGT's?

Are you an automatic or manual?

[rbrettctd]

How easy can you spool it? This is just a street truck so I want to keep the quick spooling I have.

[ford69557ci]

what speed i dont know the speedo ends at 120 lol i have never really run it very hard without the water and nitrous on but for daily driving it still spools good and keeps cool i can even tow my 12000 lb boat at only 1050 up a slight grade and thats at 70mph

[ford69557ci]

oh yeah i have a 5spd

[rbrettctd]

I just want a fun street truck. Ive got a 5sp right now, but Im debating on upgrading the clutch or saving the money and goin back to an auto again, only this time with a built 47rh. What would be better, 62 or 64?

[DTanklage]

that depends on what you want to do with it

they say that the 64 will surge on some trucks

if you are worried about spool up get a 62/65-12

you will like it A LOT

[ford69557ci]

with an auto the larger turbo will wwork better than with the 5 speed cuz the auto is always loaded and it keeps the turbo spooled. or you can keep your 5spd run a large turbo and throw a little funny gas at it and have real fun

Okay sounds like what I want then. Who makes the best in this series of turbo and where should I go for it? I looked on htt but all they list is their 71mm exhaust wheel, no 65. Hopefully this will be a mod to come soon, as Ive been getting lots of calls on my bike. I found my intercooler--a 7.3 intercooler, should be on the way by the end of the week.

[DTanklage]

i'd go with ind inj

theirs will come with a boost elbow and they machine the bracket for the gate so it is not in the way AS BAD

dont know why you had a hard time finding 65 mm turbine from htt

thats weird...

[rbrettctd]

probably cause im a de-de-de...I found that their under htb2 i guess.

so from Industrial, would that be their phat shaft 62?

[rbrettctd]

So im gonna start searching the web before opening my keyboard now...found the phat shaft 62....sounds like just what I want. Now if someone will hurry up and buy my bike...

[ford69557ci]

isnt a a 62 65 about the same as an upgraded hx35?

[DTanklage]

ps - II calls that a "phat shaft"

josh swears by the super phat shaft which is the same comp side with a 71 mm turbine in a 14 housing

he says it takes a min to hit 10# but when it does it goes instantly to 50 psi

if you are ever gonna tow anything you will probably be better off with the 65mm wheel, and maybe even a 14 housing

i got talked into htt's 62/65 with their stainless steel 13cm2 housing

it is supposed to spool great and run cool but to be honest i dont think it does either - then again, i dont have anything to compare it to

order a 62/65-14 from II, have it shipped to me, i will ship you the 13ss for a week or two, and then we can swap back and report findings
