Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) phat shaft sps62

[mattg]

Has anybody tried running the sps62 on their 2nd gen, and what do you think?

 

[Jim Fulmer]

A SPS 64 works good on a 12V as a single, no reason a 62 wouldn't work a little better.

We have installed a couple of the SPS62's and all of the customers love them! The spoolup is great and egt's are greatly reduced from the OEM unit.

The sps62 is an awesome turbo. It was recommended to me and I would return the favor in a heartbeat. It has great spool up and egts are very controlable. I have the comp and plan on getting mach 4's and was told even though I tow regularly(5K), the egts will stay in check. Industrial injection is a great company and you won't be dissapointed with this choice

 

[mattg]

Thanks

I have been seriously looking at twins to go along with a comp and mach 3 injectors, but if I can still tow up to 12k with a single and not worry about egt's, why spend the extra $$$?

The phat shaft 62 is on my list for mods next... hopefully sooner than later.

how big an exhaust housing on this turbo? I have mach 2's, would a 12cm work ok? or should I step up a little to a 14. I still want quicker spool, so the bigger units are probably out. Is the cruise while towing going to be ok with a 14?

Is the SPS62 a bolt on turbo? Plus how is the spool up compared to the stocker?



Thanks,

good questions, i have been on the fence between a PS62 and a HTB2... any thoughts?? i need something to tame these egts for the race season!

The SPS62 is a bolt on turbo, but it does require the use of a HX40 style downpipe. Spoolup is hard to reliably define but our customers who have installed this turbo all rave about its spoolup.

Lotero- I can't tell you differences good or bad between the HTB2 and the PS62, as i only have a PS 62, but i have heard great things from both places. I went with the 14cm housing, and i still think spool is great... I haven't towed a ton with this yet, but on WOT runs on 5x5, it doesn't hit 1350 till about 100 to 110 mph and thats starting from a stop running about 52 lbs of boost once it hits overdrive. I almost wish i would of went with bigger injectors from the get go, but ya live and learn.....

I can tell you that we sell both lots of different types of turbos, but the most popular, and the one getting the most rave reviews is the SP 62 if only seconded by the SP 66. Every customer we have that has purchased one, and has in the past had other types of aftermarket turbo, has over and over again told us how much better the 62 is. It seems to be doing good for the guys that tow any amount, to guys that race the ricer at the light, to your daily driving lightfooted people (as if there are many of those), this thing just seems to hit the nail on the head.



I am not trying to push one product over another, this is just what I have seen with my eyes and heard with my ears. To each there own.

I can finally give the ps 62 a thumbs up cause I just tapped the wire with a drag comp and every thing runs MUCH smoother it really spools well with the extra fuel. With the lower sublevels there is hardly ever smoke without trying not to. I hated babying the petal now I don't have to just put the box on 3x2 and drive normal. too bad on 5x5 it bumps 50 psi tooo fast for me need orings.

I have seen before that a B1 likes to be wastegated to peak at about 42 lbs.

IF my ps is anything like a b1 why does it shoot up to 50-51lbs- with the elbow open 1/2 way.


my ? this time is would a htt manifold drop the peak boost down to say 45 ? what about a ats intake horn also?

Ohh well just havta do a helix cam, port-polish and studs while the heads off...

The PS 62 does a "Fine" job of blowing off stock intercooler boots. Had my first one happen to me yesterday pulling a grade @ 48lbs boost. The noise it made I almost $#!* my pants!! Had to pull off the next exit and do a quick bubblegum and duct tape repair because finishing that hill I was seeing 1200° babying it.

Anyhow Im impressed with my PS62 and its capabilities.

 

[hdtrukn]

OK, I'll ask.

Difference between PS62 and a SPS62 ?

Thanks

The Phat Shaft 62 has a smaller turbine wheel and housing than a Super Phat Shaft 62. The turbine wheel is the driver for the compressor wheel. A larger turbine means quicker turbine spool and more turbine rpm. Just putting on a larger compressor wheel slows down the turbine speed. As in our Phat Shaft 62, a larger compressor works well. But in the case of our Super Phat Shaft 62, a larger compressor and a larger turbine works much better. For an example only. I'll say the compressor rpm is 50,000 rpm on a reg. 62, but with a larger turbine the compressor rpm is now 70,000 rpm. The cfm air flow is much better with the larger turbine! Our Phat Shaft 62 is a good turbo. Our Super Phat Shaft 62 Is a GREAT turbo! Thanks www.industrialinjection.com

 

[hdtrukn]

Is that a 62/12 verse a 62/14 ?

I thought the 62 was a 62mm wheel ?

Just trying to learn alittle. I know that can be dangerous.

Thanks

Scott

 

[BradyWilliams]

No. A 62 means a 62mm comp. wheel. When I talked about a larger turbine side I was trying to tell you that we use a larger turbine wheel which fits in a turbine housing that has been machined to fit with the the wheel into it. We do sell 62/12 and 62/14 Phat shaft turbos and yes the 12 turbine housing is a smaller air/ratio housing. We don't have to sell the smaller turbine housing on our Super Phat Shaft 62 as it already spools very quick. There are more ways to get quick spooling turbos than to put in a smaller A/R exhaust housing. A smaller A/R turbine housing does raise drive pressure. Thanks

At the risk of starting a controversy, the htt and the ats manifold are exactly the same, I swear i am not trying to start a debate, but they are.

My friend Doug Smith who posted above had suggested that the ats 3 piece manifold was slightly larger to the eye than the htt-and that the htt worked well on anything upto 550 RWHP and the ATS piece worked better on anything over 550 RWHP.

no controversy

anyway I still didn't get an answer to my ? they say that the "FULL b-1" likes upto 42lbs then DP increases as does intake air temp to the fact that nothing more can be gained. What is the magic # for the PS 62/14 ? ? ? Brett ? Shane? Fuller?
