Garrett Medium Frame Gtx Turbos

[ShiftyTys]

Everyone, I am interested in seeing if this turbo really is a bit of a lag monster, or this fella has just set it up wrong. I am willing to put in $10 towards his dyno time with Trent.

If we do this properly, I'll gather the cash and send it directly to where he takes it (Trent from Mercury, or am I on another planet?) This way, its fairly legit. Plus, I ran a $5k group buy a few years back, and made a lot of friends, so you can trust me. Plus, its only about $100 or so.

Anyway, I am happy tpo help out. Its also going to save me thousands if I decide to take a risk and end up buying a turbo that is laggy, or not suitable for me.

Anyone keen in helping out this test?

If we go ahead, I want to know A LOT of info about your car mate so Fill in this form form

Intake Manifold:

Exhaust Manifolf:

Cams:

Compression Test:

Anything else I Can think of over the next couple of days

I know thats a lot, and maybe it will take you a while to get the ignition timing down, but hey, if you want a pretty much free diagnosis, work for it, haha.

Fill this out please.

I really want to see this turbo tested properly. I cannot recommend it to people (I'm a tuner, and I get a lot of people asking me what they should buy) if its not what garrett claims.

Thanks, and I hope people are interested.

I have answers to all those except the ones that are obtained from the dyno run. Af ratio. Timings etc.

Trent could sort those out for you. Fill in the rest now to give us a better idea of possible restrictions. Whats the intake like, do you have any pics?

Nah 120. I got a reply SMS.

turbo really is too big for your setup ..

and your piping is too small..

at least lose the Cat

but thats just my opinion

post some photos as well..

there u go ^ dark and cold and wet out, lol

That setup should be fine, have you checked for boost leaks? Stock bov?

[GTScotT]

When you say x-force turbo back, surely you do not mean an x-force turbo back....

X-force do not make a GT30 specific dump pipe, nor would they make one thats GT30/skyline specific. If your dump pipe is an X-force item, then you have a factory shaped dump... And that means we know what rear housing you have also...

Please confirm your dump pipe and take photos of its exit from the turbo please.. Please confirm who supplied the turbo for you too.

Had xforce dump on standard Turbo. When I changed Turbo avo had to mod the dump pipe to suite the garret hotside. So it is an edited xforce item. Im definately running. 82 garret hot side.

Sorry no. A turbosnart stealth Nov. Plumback.

booked in Monday night to see trent for a run Tuesday.

Nice - good luck, and look forward to seeing the results Trent has a Dynapack?

[Tangles]

straight away I say ditch the "12psi" actuator and purchase a proper heavy duty "1bar" adjustable Garrett turbo actuator. they cost around $120

should make a slight, but positive difference, to the spooling up of the turbo.
