Jim_1979 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Saw this..... LINK! Didn't think turbos were so cheap tbh!! Curious what people think of the T61 turbo. What sort of power you'd get from one and also what would need to be done to convert a TT to a single t61. Also... would any t61 fit? Would a different manifold be needed? Thanks!

GeordieSteve Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 That's not a real 61. Cheap copy. Wouldn't use the XS turbos personally although people have made great figures from them lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Ok... not a real T61. I don't want the thread to turn into a xs-power stuff is good/bad thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 You will need a manifold, wastegate and downpipe minimum I think Now, XS-power stuff is subject to great debate.... quality is/was an issue, however as people have pointed out, if the turbo doesn't last as long you can still replace it with another one at the same price.... I know turbofit have been having some great success with it. I fitted the XS-power kit myself and for the money it is good IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Neither do I... I'm using their manifold, downpipe etc. However we have experience with their turbos... not good experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Anyone know where to get the manifold/downpipe from as the uk xs power site doesn't appear to have any Supra parts listed. I found the above turbo on ebay. Just curious as to how much all the bits would be. Obv I'd need some sort of boost controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Also... what sort of figures would be achievable with the T61. Is the T61 actually a good turbo to go single with? lag etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 As Steve says this is in no way comparible to something like the Boostlogic or sound peformance T61. The turbine is tiny (50 something mm) so will be capable of barely more than stock TT HP. Its a decent turbo to fit to an NA conversion but can't see it ever being a worthwhile conversion for a TT car. The price isn't too great either, Steve Whitaker (The 'DJ Craig' car) runs a GT45 XS power turbo which costs only £380! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 aaah... cool. Honestly didn't realise turbos were so cheap! Something to think about for the future me thinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send a message to XS-Power on ebay, they'll help you out and can supply parts at incredinly cheap prices. See my post with the TT XS power kit, they have a couple up for grabs at the moment (though the turbo supplied isn't great) Also... what sort of figures would be achievable with the T61. Is the T61 actually a good turbo to go single with? lag etc... The XS power T61 is basically going to be BPU power, maybe a little more with the right mapping and injectors. No point in going for such a tiny turbo IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem you might get is a customs charge (which is cheeky as they advertise as being based in UK - my £600 kit had a £20 charge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Consider the following Intake Intake filter Breather system Big Oil cooler Blitz LM or greddy 3-row Intake manifold Downpipe, centre section, back box - any quality system will do Manifold - Would go for arnouts if you can get one...dont buy a cheap one Wastegate Oil feeds/return Coolant feeds Clutch - stock to say 450/500 Autobox - built + high stall BOV Tank, pump(s), wiring, hoses - Single Walbro or UK spec pump Injectors + resistor pack Fuel pressure regulator - keep an eye on ECU - AEM or even better motec, if your on a budget emanage blue mapped by Ian C or whifbitz Plenty of gauges, AEM 02, Boost, oil pressure/temp LSD and some sort of knock monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
