Turbonetics turbo review.
Here is my opinion on the turbo that I installed on my 244. I installed a Turbonetics T3 super 60 compressor with 48 turbine housing and F49 wheel. I did several calculations and looking at compressor charts the super 60 was the best match for 180 hp. I picked the 48 AR because I still wanted it too spool fairly soon and wanted it to flow better then the stock 36 ar. I ran the turbo on stock fuel settings and .95 timing. Turbo spools up right off 1000 rpm and had 7 psi @ 2000. I turned up the fuel screw 1/2 turn and have injection timing at .85, It will have 5psi at 1600 and 10psi at 2000. I have no wastegate so I'm not going crazy on the fuel setting. I did a pull in 4th gear on a long hill and built 25psi at 2700 (850 EGT) and climbing before the rear cap blew off my intake. I'm very happy with the turbo. Oh ya, almost forgot.. Those numbers are with the stock 240 diesel exhaust that has 2" piping and two mufflers, very restrictive. It should spool very well with little more fuel and good exhaust.
