FricFrac Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I see Garrett has the GTX out in the GTX35R sizing now. Does anyone have one on order or started to play around with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 They sound good, I'm looking at using one on my VG33 project engine. Apparently they can be bought without a turbine housing which would suit me as I already have the previous model GT35R and its housing will bolt straight up. The query I have is will they take more energy to drive to give their claimed improved performance? I guess not assuming the gains come from better efficiency but would still like to know for sure. The thing for say a L28 is that now the new GT30 may be a better choice, particularly for those seeking quick spool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarS30Z Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I was looking into these too, from what I could understand the improvements including the 7 bladed impeller meant quicker response and more power. So a GTX30 is now nearly as powerful as a GT35 and quicker to spool ofcourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RACEBREADS13 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 these turbos look amazing i was looking into them and the borg warner efr 7064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 It seems that the big improvement is at higher boost levels, above 15psi say. Below that and there is no real gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
