Garrett GT17 turbo, What size mtr ?

[Guest Feo]

Hello.

I have been offered a Garrett GT17 turbo and would like to know what size engine it suits and what compression ratio, I am hoping to fit it to a Suzuki Sierra 4x4 and a looking for lowdown grunt mot so much top end though.

I am sorry if this is the wrong site to be posting this on .

Any info would be great.

Thanks Feo.

They are only little buggers mate, not real flash for anything over 2 litres and even a 2L will be stretching the friendship...

But for what you want you'd have f-all top end and all mid range.

Thanks , The mtr is 1324cc i have lrg agressive tyres, 2x difflocks and 170% reduction rockhopper gears in the transfer case ( i just blew up a 87% reduction set and have decided to update to the 170% version), 1000rpm=2km/hr with the 87% gears, 1000 rpm=1km/hr with 170% in low range, I will loose about 20% in high range. The little 1.3 has a hard time turning the larger tyres it would be nice to change into 5th gear and stay there with a head wind..

On a 1.3 it could be a goer...
