turbonetic 62-1 any good?
Hi I have been looking at going single turbo on my FD3 and was planning to get a Holset.. However a tubonetics turbo has been offered to me.. it is the 62-1 0.96A/R. It is presumeably an older version as it does not have the ceramic roller bearings in it? and looks a little different. Will this be any good on my rotary and what bhp is it good for?? I am on stock ports currently but wil have plenty of fuel to offer it! What boost is this turbo capable of running?
Here is the turbonetics link.

Thank you for the reply..
Am I correct in reading that there are two compressor sizes and two exhaust sizes options on this turbo? an A/R.63 and A/R .96??

Thank you

I guessed the A/R 0.96 housing is the one required for the rotary. wondered if visually there is a noticable difference in the housing size so I can be sure I am getting the right one? or will if have something stamped into the housing? Is the Hi Fi compressor no good then?? I reckon it might be that? the inlet looks quite small compared to the one pictured on the turbonetic website. I can try and get a pic a post it up later.

Turbonetics makes turbos. For the money you're spending you would wiser to get yourself a GARRETT TURBO GT35R, 84 TRIM, 1.06 A/R. This system uses newer and better turbine technology. This one is good for 500hp. Please do not support old technology.

Will work for horsepower
The 62-1 i have is a .96 ar.
It has a 4'' inlet and a 3'' band clamp exhaust!
And as for old tech. i guess it is but 10.8 1/4 and 10.5 comeing without going above 500 h/p suites me fine!
Whats your track time?

Thanks guy's
I agree partly that this 'old' technology did us just fine before the new stuff came along!
anyhow. I am looking at this unit as it has come up cheap and has hardly been used!.
Here are a couple of pics of the unit. any ideas on what size she looks like as I am not getting an answers back yet! Also is that an on-cenre type housing I see?
If it is does that mean it's no good to fit the RX7?
Thank you

Looks to be an on-center T4 housing..somewhere in the 0.8X A/R range.
On-center isn't as efficient as a tang (tangential) housing and it will sit different on the manifold as a result. By sit different, I mean stick further away from the mani....but depending on the manifold setup it could fit. RX-7 engine bays have a pretty good real estate in the turbo area.

I used an on-center housing on my brother's car and I regret it
You can, however, buy a new tang housing--- divided or undivided and in different a/r's usually for around $150. Just make sure that it's for the correct trim wheel that this turbo has.
