Gt 35X Vs Gt35R

[FineLine]

if you're looking to mac these turbos out stay as far away from the 35r as you can. Even if the 35x performance isnt as good as a 35r I would still use it.

The 35r uses a plastic bearing race as opposed to the 35x using steel.

Between a friend and i we shat something like 8/9 35r's before we got to the root of the problem.

For general street duty on moderate power and boost they are fine but if you lean on them for prolonged periods e.g. circuit work etc I wouldnt even consider one...ever

Garret were about as helpful as a front pocket in the back of my sock when we tried to get to the root of the issue.

This is one of the issues my brother has had with his 3076R setup. We're looking at more robust and cheaper options now.

We had the same issues until we got the core rebuilt by Mr Turbo on the Gold Coast. He replaces the crappy garrett guts with his and ever since we did that we havent had anymore dramas.

Its definitely a weak point with them. You really need to keep the egts low (<800c) if they are to maintain any kind of reliability in extended periods of hard, high load use otherwise the temps just fatigue the bearing cages in no time.

Thanks for the info.

The EGT in this Shitma is cruising at the 600 mark, and an extended poke definitely reaches for the 900 mark. Thus the issues.

Ignition timing related perhaps?
