Hi all,
Has anyone seen the new Garrett GTX-R wheels? i have heard some VERY good things about them. Here are some specs nicked form the Garrett website.....
10%+ Gain in flow over traditional GT compressor wheel designs
10%+ Higher pressure ratio compared to traditional GT compressor wheel designs
Forged, fully machined wheels (billet) for expedited release
11 Full-blade design for improved efficiency and ultra quiet operation
Here is the info on Garretts wesite: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...ochargers.html
Think they have the GTX-42R and GTx-45R turbo avaliable. GT35 should be out later this year.
Cheers
Chris.

I've seen quite a few of them in person at a custom turbocharging shop here in the Phoenix area. I told the owner of the place I was interested in buying/upgrading a IX, but didn't think the big ones would be appropriate. He said that they could mix and match according to my application and had a few in stock for me to look at. I'm thinking of dumping my rx-7 and pulling the trigger. I keep seeming to run into guys with tons of money in paint and wheels cheap turbo setups.

I have a 1G with a standard 4202R with a 1.01 exhaust housing, It takes about 6.2K to get it up to 40 psi from a 3rd gear roll on. I like the thought of less boost to make the same power and the benefit of decreased spool time. Before I upgrade I wish I could see what the difference is in spool with just a turbo swap, without compression changes. Also I have not seen a 74mm compressor map released yet, has anyone seen it??

40psi by 6200 is pretty good imho, whats the engine setup like? How much power does it make?

His 1G put down whp in the mid 700's at our fall dyno day, maybe like 35psi IIRC? His DD evo casually put down 520 w/ a FP Red on it. This guy does not eff around!

Inducer sizes:
GT3076r = 57mm
HTA35r = 59mm
35r = 61mm
I think the exducers are quite a bit larger on all of those numbers though which makes a difference as well.

Anyone do testing to see the difference in spool between the old 4294r vs new4294r and for the old vs new 4202r? I read someone saw a 400-500rpm quicker spool on the gtx-r beleive that was 4202r vs 4202r
