Hi all

 

Can someone shed some light on why people converting an RB26 from twins to a single tend to lean towards the Garrett GTX range instead of the Garrett GTW range?

 

There is hardly any reviews on the GTW series because on one seems to use them...

They certainly seem to have the goods :)

 

So why? [emoji848]

The GTW range is the budget performance series, they are effectively revamped Garrett T-series turbos with "GTW" compressor wheels replacing the old compressors.  They go well enough but are pretty much Garretts equivalent to the Precision and FP turbos which were available 8 years ago.

Its all the unforseen stuff. Ceramic coating, underestimating the cost of lines/fittings/heat proofing shit. V band here and there, adds up lol i had to pay retail for my fab work. I dont weld. I got a good deal but thats the only labour i paid for.

Fair enough! Like most things you jump into it and realise there’s more too it lol
I said to my tuner I’m looking at a budget single turbo conversion, all he said was
“Remove the word budget and re send message”
Hahaha
I got the hint lol

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
