not a bad price. but how can you pick the a/r's without the housings. doesnt make sense to me.

Viet · POOP Bum

well your suppose to already have the housing or you can buy the ar you want then find housing to fit it.

THE PRESIDENT · see above

yeah, i think thats how it works. whats the diff between the .60 and your .:super:. 60?

Viet · POOP Bum

I think the super has a bigger compressor wheel. I don't if the compressor housing is bigger or not.

but the a/r ratio is the area of the nozzle divided by the distance from the center of the shaft to the center of the nozzle. so how can they know this without housings. im probably wrong but thats what i remember reading in the turbo book.

"The turbine housing A/R (area/radius) ratio is the area (A) of any turbine inlet scroll cross-section divided by the distance from the center of that cross-section to the center of the turbine shaft (R). For any given turbine housing, A and R vary in the same proportions, so all As divided by their corresponding Rs yield the same dividend--which is the A/R ratio."

some good stuff there. but yea so the a/r is determined by the housing so how can you choose it with the cartridge?

Viet · POOP Bum

well if you have .60 a/r housing then I think your can use a 60 trim wheel as opposed to having a .48 a/r or whatever I don't believe you can fit 60 trim. I could be wrong I'll try to look into it more, but thats what believe. Or it could be to determine the size of the back plating you recieve if they do give that to you.
