Gt3540

[r_speedfreak_r]

Hey all

Just a quick question. I've recently bought a brand new gt3540 and i noticed the compressor housing looks different to other garrett turbos ive seen before including other gt3540's. All the others had the a/r stamped on the compressor housing and had a rather smooth surface. My turbo compressor housing doesnt really have anything on it and the surface is a lil rougher. I had a look on the garrett website and the picture of my turbo on the website looks the same as mine so i'm not overally worried but i admit i still am a lil as i've never seen another with the change. Has anyone come across this before or know of any change in the casting process?

cheers

did you buy it from slide performance? i got mine from them and mine was identicle to urs (also a gt3540) so i took it to my tuner and he identified it as an genuine 3540 but with the old comp cover.. i got slide to polish mine up free of charge

If its the old comp cover... then... its really old.

4+ years now since the new .7 A/R's were released with the new series.

nah they arnt mr turbo job's

u see the 2nd turbo from the left?? thats mine i'll be puting that on my GTR but B4 it goes on the GTR im gonna put it on the 180 and gas it and see if i can crack into the 400rwkw mark with a SR20

the turbo's full custom the compressor housing was machined by ATP over in the states and the exhaust housing is a custom in-house casted exhaust housing

its a T4 flange and its divided aka twin-scroll/spit-pulse A/R .70 <----- thats right its not a typo .70 u guys have any idea how responsive thats going to be and it will also have enuff top end to make over 400kw

the housing can not be bought from garrett because garrett dont even make them

[GeeTR]

LoL, you couldn't resist, like a kid with a new toy at show 'n' tell

The SR setup should be wicked, good luck man!

*waits for Disco to come sprinting over, all frothy mouthed and sweaty palmed over the TS setup*

the GTR project will have to wait the 180 is more important to me right now

if u machine the housing smooth and polish it up i dont see why it wont work?

[GeeTR]

^ yah, rip the comp cover off, file it down, and work your way up through the W&D

Check the Fabrication section for tips

i got mine polished because it was ugly, had a burr mark and crap on it.. got it polished thru slide, as i wont be happy and say "oh na its ok i payed 1700 for a turbo and its not what i like" f**k that. I would have gone to the extent and flown over to see jason myself.. and made him change the cover or polishd it. simple.

ill post a pic of my turbo when i find a pic

also the manifold wasnt the best, rob hadto do some fab work to it, cut it and move the turbo away from the head, cut the external wastegate flange off and reweld a new one in from the side just under the flange. so it looks different to how it is when we dummy fitted it.
