t60-1 vs. GT35R
how do these two turbos compare? which would you choose for a big HP project? im considering doing a high boost RX-8 in a few years when i get bored of 275whp or so and more people start messing with big turbos and messing with the RENESIS rotors to lower compression and doing big fueling mods, etc.

I like the g35r but I would wait and see what's gonna be out there in a couple more years. I think that most ppl would be satisfied with the greddy kit. Huge hp comes with compromises. Depends on what your goals are.

What's interesting is that some of people on the 350Z board who are looking at the single turbo Turbonetics kit (comes with 60-1) but are already inquiring about the 62-1 (supposedly flows 10% more).

and the 62-1 has now been discontinued...god knows why...it was a great seller.
anyhoo, it's been replaced with the gt37 wheel. it flows a bit more than the 60-1.
here are the 60-1, 62-1, and 35r compressors.

and just for fun...
first one is a 60/62 overlay and the second is the 35r/60 overlay.
you can see how the 35 is capable of a lot more boost pressure efficiently. it ultimately has more power potential, but you do have to crank it up past 20psi to get it. at say 12psi, you'd probably never notice the difference between the 60-1 and the 35, but the 35 keeps going after the 60 quits.

if you look at the peak efficiencies, the 35 is very well suited to the older 13b's. stock or streetports do very well with them (76-79% efficiency). i don't know how it's going to like the renesis--maybe a 30/35 or 37...something a wee bit smaller might work a hair better.

thats if they can manage to fit the 35 in there, by the looks of it the biggest we can fit is a gt30r...anywho upping boost in the renesis is going to be a nightmare, or at least a pain in the *** untill some people start experimenting with big *** turbos like the 35r

The new Gt wheels are way more efficient then the old T-series. I am not sure why every one is looking at bigger compressors when there are limited ECU`s out there for the 8. I have not seen many guys pushing over 9 psi without detonating. The Greddy tubo kit will be good for at least 12 psi if there was an ECU that could properly control the timing and fuel. Wait untill Apexi makes a Power FC for the 8 then we will be able to push big HP. Also the turbine housing size is very important.

How much better would a 30r be vs. the current T618Z ? Would it be dramatic enough to spend $1000 for the turbo & probably quite a bit more to modify the current kit.

4,000 rpm - 13lb/min
4,500 rpm - 15lb/min
5,000 rpm - 17lb/min
5,500 rpm - 19lb/min
6,000 rpm - 22lb/min
6,500 rpm - 24lb/min
7.000 rpm - 27lb/min
7,500 rpm - 28lb/min
8,000 rpm - 29lb/min
8,500 rpm - 30lb/min
Also, pretend for a moment that the spread from 2,000 rpm & 4,000 rpm goes from 7lb/min all the way up to 13lb/min. However, I am not concerned about that portion of the powerband for some obscure reason. And I just want to pump in air most efficiently between 4 & 8K5 rpms.
Based on the 2 maps you posted, how do you determine which compressor is a better match -and at what pressure level? And how do you easily determine pressure levels from just looking at the map? Or is it simply a product of having spent countless hours going through maps before?
Thanks!
