From Garrett Gearheads I hear Garrett is releasing a new series of compressor wheel or turbo called GTX-R . The spiel is that these compressors will be able to pump 10% more air and handle 10% higher pressure ratios (boost) . A couple of people think that it's big G's answer to extended tip technology .

The only pic I could find loks like this . Note 11 blades and all full height , no splitter or "half" height ones .

Cheers A .

Um also Garrett claim they have fixed the swing valves twin integral gate system on their Evo 10 twin scroll GT3076R's turbine housings .

Actually that 10% more I forgot to add means 10% more than the same sized GT compressor wheel . I think someone mentioned that they are a wheel machined from a forged billet of aluminium which is the economic way to get them into production . If possible they may cast them later .

Versions mentioned (nothing concrete) may be a GTX4088R , GTX4094R and I think a GTX42R and GTX45R .

Cheers A .

Interesting, not quite sure which models those turbo's will apply to above :)

It would be great if they bought out some new GTR turbos before I get around to buying them (which is going to take forever, lol)

This is excellent to see!

Now we here in australia will be able to get our hands on this technology that the yanks have had for quite some time!

Go's to show that borg warner, precision etc knew what they were doing :)

Glad to hear it! That should put garrett into the lead performance wise for a while. I wonder if they will charge a bunch more for these, or lower the prices of what they already sell and price these similar to what's out there now.

you can see the machining marks in the wheel. wow! billet wheel is pretty cool. the tips are on quite and angle. they look like the hx35 compressor wheels any specs on weight?

SEMA has come and gone. No new info on the net.

I've got a mate who's very keen to replace his twin -5's on a JUN 2.7 RB26 with something a bit bigger. I'm thinkin a GTX4088R twin scroll 1.06 would do the trick.

Finally there will be no denying that Garrett has a T04Z KILLER!!!

Anyone got compressor maps of the GTX turbos?

Personally the only biggie there is how quickly you could get your hands on a std GT4088R , technically speaking it has it all over a T04Z anyway .

The road to getting a 4088R to work is via a really good pulse divided manifold and probably two external gates .

Where they are better off than most GT wheeled turbos is that the trim sizes have come down and that helps them to be responsive things in their size range . If they did the same thing with a GT4294R it would be more responsive and closer to what a T51R BB can do . Lets face it the T51R still uses ancient water pump tech turbines but in 76 trim they are more responsive that a better aero tech GT42 turbine in 84 trim . So a GT42 turbine in 78 trim ...

Why? Because they make comp wheels out of billet? There's more to a turbo than the compressor and Garrett have always led the way in making an all round high performing turbo that's RELIABLE.

Borg Warner know what they are doing as well but Garrett as a company were waiting until after the economic fallout before putting this all into production.

I would always pick a Garrett over a BW.

You can bet they will be more than 10% dearer

Why would anyone pick a 4088 over a Z when the 3788 has the same comp wheel as a 4088 but smaller turbine?

The 3788 would still be a better choice for response

impressive to watch to

that is awesome watching how they sculpture an item from a block of metal - billet process is very impressive & reminds me of OCC (oraneg county choppers) when they make their billet wheels

Looks good so far:

I compared the GTX4294R with a GT4202R compressor map - the 94R has more everywhere, awesome!! Here's hoping they spool like the GT4294Rs.... that could change things quite a bit.

Thats an impressive looking map, garrett answering some of their competition perhaps. Some real world examples will tell the story. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Is there any news on smaller frame variants taking advantage of this setup? Or are we talking cost out weighing the advantages?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
