I think HKS got the first of the Inconel GT turbines in the early 1990s . Think things like GT2530 and GT3037 on early GTRs .

I'm a bit surprised that Garrett haven't gone with something along the lines of the 7163s mixed flow turbine . Sort of half way between a (conventional) radial in flow turbine and an axial flow turbine . This can make turbine housing designs specialised and maybe this is too much of a change for Garrett at this stage . They have to think of production economics as well as performance improvements . 

Yeah I was a bit surprised too, I am sure I saw hints somewhere they were toying with them but it looks like the gas hits the blade in a fairly radial manner going by the wheel shape on the G25.  Otherwise yeah - 9 blade turbines seem to be a thing of the moment currently 

 

Either way, going by what they are saying they clearly flow really well - here is hoping they derive enough torque from the exhaust gas to drive the rotating mass good... They are suggesting that the new design also improves spool which is pretty epic if accurate for a given wheel size, especially with the massive flow improvement.

I have the same concern about feeding the compressor correctly, especially on the 660. That's big power for such a small turbine. I'm stoked by the claimed flow on .92 a/r, those things flows like hell compared to a gt28 turbine.
I'm waiting some dyno/video of them in action to see if the claims are realistics or not.

I would assume they have plans for G30 sizes... Here's hoping these G25's do what is claimed... And If so, could it be too much to hope for a G30 type to produce 400-700hp emoji848.pngemoji848.png

And that's exactly where I am at, if these are anything to go by - and the response matches what we'd expect from a Garrett with those wheel sizes, then a G30-range could be a game changer.  They should be shipping from December/January apparently, here's hoping some people get their hands on them and let loose.

Yes let loose is the key words... 20-30psi should do [emoji1362]

No turbo manufacturer is going to quote power at the wheels.

I think it's pretty much as retarded that they are claiming it at the engine.

Wonder if we can put one on a good 5.9litre Cummins and hook it to an engine dyno shooting for 660hp and take Garrett to task for it when it doesn't, but the Borg Warner compound setup we shove on next does it without hesitation.

Yuh, obviously.  But at least there is a semi-reasonable formula for converting mass airflow into power in an optimised petrol engine.  Whereas wheel horsepower depends on the number of rubber bands in the dyno software, or some other ouija board factors.

Agreed, though 660hp @ engine is pretty optimistic stuff on petrol from that turbo :O

Oh yeah.  Not arguing about that. 

Didn't think there was any argument about anything, I was just viewing my disdain for any turbo manufacturer making hp claims :)   It has made for some very frustrating conversations in the past

 

I know there's a general dislike around the joint for twin setups, but given the hit and miss results of the GTX series, I'm interested to see what results come out of the woodwork for the G series.

...and if that fails, how good this series (larger frames) are in single config :)

The power number is nothing more than a guide, a 50lb/min turbo will be rated around the 500hp mark

No no, Garrett have changed their new turbos to be 11hp per lb/min but continued rating their older turbos with 10hp per lb/min.  They may as well have just made their dyno read higher for all their newer turbos ;)

Flow numbers make a lot more sense, you work out how much your engine needs - you pick a turbo from it and if you've done a good job - profit!  It'll make what it makes on your chosen dyno.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
