As has been mentioned there are supposed to be a few new offerings on the way from Garrett .

The GTX2971R sounds interesting but the few details available only say the turbine is smaller than GT30 and larger than GT28 . Someone mentioned this turbine being smaller but slightly higher flowing than the GT30 so if its true then it must have less hub and more blade area .

Also there is vague info about a couple of GTW , W for wide I think turbos is plain and ball bearing but there numbers must be using a different system to the usual turbine size plus compressor OD ie GT30 76mm R .

The pics show 9 bladed billet compressors in either T04E or what looks like port shrouded T04S compressor housings .

The turbine housings look like being V Band outlet and inlet in some cases and in a few closer spaced AR ratios .

If people find our more can they post here for all to see .

Cheers A .

Hi Disco potato03,

Sorry to thread jump but i was hoping you could help me out a bit with T04B compressor housing A/Rs.

According to the Garrett site compressor housing A/R has not much affect, not like the hot end of course.

i have some gtx2860r chra's with -5 (0.64A/R) hot ends but need the T04B cold end.

was thinking of using some old GTss housings and re-profiling them to suit the 45.7mm/60mm gtx compressor as the GTss inducer is only 44.46mm and there should be enough meat left to profile it. just wondering on the 0.42 A/R and the outcome on boost rate and ceiling.

Also i have some old gt2510 T04B covers which would have to be sleeved, tig'd either end and profiled as the inducer is 47.7mm / Ex 60.1mm but the housing is 0.60 A/R.

The gtss option is simple but gt2510 a bit more work but can easily be done.

I always read your threads and posts as you really seem to know what you are talking about.

Appreciate your time and thoughts on this.

Many thanks and back to your topic

With a bit of stuffing around a good turbo workshop should be able to make a pair of effectively 2530s (current terminology GT2860R 63T) using the "2510s" comp wheels , from memory "2510s" were just 2530s with smaller turbines .

Gotta run cheers A .

Sorry Discopotato03 you must have misunderstood me.

Put simply 2 identical turbos, the only difference the compressor housings (T04B type) one 0.6AR the other 0.42AR .

Just wondering about pressure rise rate, heat and capacity.

Cheers

Found a lot of good unbiased info on the Turbo Forums, good site. the following one about my particular question.

http://www.theturboforums.com/threads/287017-Compressor-Housing-Size-Effects-on-Surge-Spool-Up

Think i will stick with 0.6 AR and if there is surge (doubtful) then i will re-machine the profiles on my lathe with some 0.42 SS hsgs.

Sorry for the thread hijack.

A few details are now creeping out .

The GTX2971R looks like having the larger or 90 trim version of the cropped GT30 turbine which we know is a flop in GT28 turbine housings . Garrett has been said to have cast new turbine housings that better suit this and the normal 60mm 84T GT30 turbine and I think they are the new V band and twin scroll T3 flanged ones .

Also there is info on the new GTW BB and bush bearing GTW units at ATP Turbos site .

Cheers A .

The $64 question is will they still do T3 flanged IW turbine housings because that's what suits most modest roadies . I couldn't give a rats about V band mounts etc , if it ain't got a workable IW option shove it where the sun doesn't shine .

BW doesn't limit their units to external gates .

The smallest GTW unit could be interesting particularly if it gets the usual GT30 turbine somewhere down the track . From memory it has a 9 bladed 76mm compressor in a modest trim size .

A .

I found a GTX parts list and these details were included .

GTX2967R with 56.6mm 84T turbine

GTX2971R with 56.6mm 84T turbine

GTX2971R with 56.6mm 90T turbine

GTX2976R with 56.6mm 90T turbine .

If you had a HKS GT2835 Pro turbine housing the first two could probably bolt to an RB exhaust manifold .

A .

Maybe, but you'll have stuff all chance of finding a Pro S housing these days I would have thought, and then the issue with the unique dump flange.

Kando sells a housing for the cropped turbine. Might be a better option with external gate off housing.

Seems to be very limited options for internal gate these days (except Hypergear options).

^^ This then poses the question of why not have Stao supply a complete turbocharger spec that has been trialled and proven?

I have no preference/suggestion one way or the other, but reckon for a Garrett devotee an external gate setup on Mark's unit would have been a half decent option even if it no longer resembles a stocker.

Looking closer all that's of any interest in the GTW turbos is the smallest one with the 76mm 58T 9 bladed compressor in the T04E compressor housing . If it found its way onto a GT30 turbine in the GT25 sized BB cartridge (GT2554R-GT3582R family) it may have its uses .

I think the GT29xxR series is a case of why bother without an IW turbine housing .

Agreed. On the add on ATP site it says: "The GTX29R series adds more high flowing internally gated configurations"

Might be interesting to see.

I think Garrett turbos are dead this is their attempt to shut PTE out of the market with cheaper turbos. Only gotta look at their sizing to realize who they are having a crack at!

Kinda sad that a company like Garrett are now literally giving up and attempting to undercut PTE & BW becoming "the poor mans turbo" so to speak :(

Lift ya game garrett and do some f**king homework instead of delivering these "budget turbos"

Thing is with these housing options it still requires other bits to bolt on which still doesn't make them a "cheap" alternative really ;)

Yep, I learnt that lesson the hard way with the GTX3067. After having the dump remade to fit the different turbine housing didn't achieve results any better (arguably worse) than bolt on offerings from Hypergear.

I tell myself I have something a little different at least :)

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
