Garrett T51r

[The Dan]

I am in NZ, a mate of mine was running a Turbonetics T66 on his GTS4 for quite some time and it did hold on fine until he blew his motor and the oil got contaminated and stuffed the turbo. It was quite impressively laggy given it was on a 3litre, though granted it was a plain bearing/non GTK version. I'm surprised to hear they are potentially competitively price in Oz as here they are really expensive, probably part of the reason they are never used.

Its interesting that in their country of origin hardly anyone seems to use them either if you look through specs of all their time attack and top drag cars.

Yeah you have to buy them from the states to get them at the prices listed before. Otherwise you can get them from Turbonetics in Australia for about $1000 dearer.

Ahh ok, yeah so once you have paid freight + GST then they are equally expensive...

I fail to see how $1800 delivered is anywhere near the cost of a Garrett turbo from Australia? The price I quoted was inclusive of freight and GST.

Yep, she calls a few times a day. Busy working for KRE (her husband). I can't believe the amount of engines Ken pumps out the door. The guy doesn't sleep! Cheers for asking.

Anyway back on topic now - sorry.

Yeah, they are very hot. Not a bad price tag at $3000 either

If you reckon you can buy this for $3000 sign me up as they cost way more than that.

Gonna supply a compressor map or just pics and no specs?

[Lithium]

Don't be silly, HKS aren't so helpful as to provide what kind of flow you should expect from one of those turbos. Aside from price, its the main reason I'd never own an HKS turbo

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah i was just being cheeky - although with the dimensions above, its easy to find the equiv Garrett for ones liking

[discopotato03]

It's ID tag numbers would fill in a few gaps . One wonders if it uses a production Garrett cartridge like for example T04Z's do .

Not really in the market for a ceiling fan ATM , cheers A .

How many do you want buddy?

And what's your price on a T51R SPL?

It's not HKS's responsibility to provide compressor maps for these, considering they are a Garrett turbocharger. It's like the T51R, HKS won't even sell the compressor maps for these. Garrett on the other hand....
