I believe it is because they allow themselves to believe that the 78 in T 78 means the same thing as the 66 T66....and it does not, different measurements. They are very close to one another, both will max out in the 700 rwhp range and trap around 140.

 

[1fast2jzgte]

well which one is a better performing turbo. for you car did you need nos to get that 10 sec run?. which 1 would you consider

 

[Angel]

It is hard to say which is "better". I chose the T78....no nos on that run or any other run of mine to date.

 

[Rviscosi]

Congrats on that time w/o Nos Angel, I was wondering how you were doing.

 

[Angel]

Thanks Robert....I was o0ut of it for quite some time and just recently got bacl in to it

 

[Angel]

And just for reference the T88 that I will be switching to is very close to the Turbonetics T70 in size, so still not that big of a turbo.

Question

When you go T88, are you still going to run with NO Nitrous?? Peace!

Angel, what are all the modifications on your car. I am asking because I have the T-78 too but with stock cams and ecu. I am hoping for ~650. What do you think?

 

[Angel]

I will not be running NOS any time in the near future. I won't need it for the reasons you might think....I have already launched the T88 on my car and it did a 1.60 the first time and kept getting better With that being said, I may run it once I have reached the limits of the T88 and need some more topend. I think the T88 should give me at least 4-6 mph and that I can land solidly in the nines if it all comes together. I know that the T78 can take me into the nines, it just won't be very far into the nines

You can do that for sure as I did 666 rwhp and 641 rwtq with the stock cams and that is not the upper limit.

See www.titanmotorsports.com for my list of mods.

What size exhaust housing do you use in your application Angel and have you ever tried out any other sizes? Thanks

Ryan, when does a T66 come in full boost?

I really want to learn more about a t66 and how it compares to the T04R

The dual ball bearing option

I'm between a T66 with the dual ball bearing option from Innovative Turbo Systems or a T78. The T78 kit is definitely a cheaper way to go, compared to buying an HKS manifold, install parts and wastegate for the BB T66. However, I'm considering the BB T66 option because I think the dual ball bearing cartridge might allow quicker spool (meaning, 300 to 400 rpm) over the T78 but deliver the same power, and that might be worth it to me. I am aware that the A/R ratio plays a much bigger role in when the turbo will begin to make boost, compared to the friction element in the cartridge, however, I have been 'told' the dual ball bearing will nonetheless allow a quicker spoolup.

Does anyone have any DIRECT experience with the dual ball bearing cartridge and can comment on how well it works (as it applies to allowing a quicker spool up time?)

Does anyone have any comments on comparing these turbos in terms of their longevity?
