My '50 lights pretty good with a 17 turbine and 60 blade ----
but then I've got an auto with a loose TC.
We'll see how good it spools when a tighter TC in.

I just wish it had a divided turbine instead of the open one.

 

Also remember that Bobbys Silver 62 is the older 74mm wheel design.

 

so a 62mm sounds more than plenty for my application.and if i ever decide to do a 2nd gen engine swap it should support that extra fuel of a p-pump.

 

Yes but it will still have its limits.

 

It's 73mm, and there is only one version.

 

what about the aurora turbos?are they just as good?

 

Straight from Industrial

"What separates the Silver 62 from the Super PhatShaft 62 is the 74mm turbine wheel."

I was told by Brady before they started shipping the new designed wheel that it is still a 74mm.

 

I was told by II its 74mm.

 

Of course, the SPS uses the 71/80mm and the SB uses the 73/80mm, but that does not include the difference in blade pitch or the fact that the SB turbine has a cast clip either. Nor what these two things mean for the end user.

That's the problem, as a salesman, you believe other salesmen. Now, if you had first hand knowledge of said topic, you would know that the wheel is 73.4mm exducer, which if rounded properly is 73mm, and there is only one version of that wheel. But II starts selling the new "Thunder Series" which has the 6-pad bearings that have been around for years, and we are supposed to think it is something new or special?

 

The exhaust wheel is a 73.4mm
HTT rounds down, I.I. rounds up.

I do not know that there has or has not been a change to the wheel, But I do know that Taco Bell has made a ton of products out of a tortilla, beans and hamburger. Glad they are not in the diesel market or we would all be eating Tacos and calling them by some fancy name like a "Chalupa" who ever heard of that before

BTW not all salesman are tech savvy and not all saleman will tell you an honest appraisal of the product. The vendors here have a good reputation but as there are stereotypes for lawyers for good reason and some stereotypes for salesman.

There are some unscrupulous salesman who look only at the dollar and not what will be good for the customer. Often a tech guy is not the person you want on the phone to take sales calls as a business owner as they would rather build you a watch than tell you what time it is and end up confusing many customers who are not enthusiasts... those customers then wait call a few other vendors who are more sales oriented and may or may not get the best product for them.

I worked in computer sales/tech 10 years ago and the senior salesman who had been selling parts for years and years with large accounts got offered to go to an ATI or nVidia conference to check out the newest graphic cards. As he was walking out the door to the conference he came over to my desk and asked me how a video card worked. He told me he just sold them the most expensive one he thought he could I explained the basic differences then he was off to the conference. The other tech guy and I were quite surprised.
