Garrett Medium Frame Gtx Turbos

[boostn0199]

A few places sell GTX3076R without turbine housings, at which point they are the same price as a "full" GT3076R... be careful that you dont end up with a full turbo.

Yeah I know, but this was on gcg its bout 1750 for the gt3076 ext and 1300 for the gtx3076 without housing plus antoher 550 for ext housing so its about the same. I find it odd.

gt3076r is $1099 without exh housing get your facts right.

gt3076r is $1099 without exh housing get your facts right.

Calm down mate, your right about the price.. 500+ for the 4 bolt or 700+ for the v band housings is an outright rip though.. The internal gate price and the price for the actuator is a joke also.

Hrmm just checked and yeah saw that one but why is the this other one the 52T $1732?

I must be missing something just cant pick it up lol.

That one has .7ar instead of .6 also isn't anti surge cover

[Johny Bravo]

is it just the blade design that has changed? reading this part "Outline interchangeable with Garrett^® GT Series turbos" it makes it seem like i could just buy the better blades that fit my turbo for a cheaper upgrade.

[TiTAN]

you cant just take the blades off and put another set on it all needs to be precisely balanced.

Not on the compressor side, but any gt30 rear will fit on the GTX as they haven't changed the turbine wheel.

There are billet compressor wheels on ebay for the gt30, not sure how good they are but you would need to get it balanced by Garrett after fitting it.

How is yours going Scotty?

[scotty nm35]

My Proflow fittings were weeping ethanol. The rep is looking at them now. I cant fit the turbo until thats sorted unfortunately. Funny enough, the "Torques" ebay fittings were perfect, tested to 90psi as thats all the reg can do.

The other issue I had, there is a large anti surge cup in the fuel tank with small slots in the bottom, at under 1/4 tank the twin walbros can empty it in a few seconds so I need to enlarge the holes. Im back on the stock fuel system for a week or two. (Lucky I left the stock lines in)

That sucks. They joys of modified cars eh

[simons987]

Another difference in the GTX turbos is the Cartridge is much smaller to reduce shaft play. This makes it a real bitch to fit in the oil and water lines on a low mount!!!!

[scotty nm35]

I thought it was just the Tial housing but yeh, the water lines will need some heat shield as they are only mm away from the rear housing.

[JonnoHR31]

if you use braided lines heat shouldnt be a problem, both my water lines and my oil feed are within a bees dick of the turbine housing (big ATP T4 T/S thingy) without any troubles

[Rolls]

the coolant lines go through the turbo lol, I'm pretty sure they are fine with going near the rear housing.

[scotty nm35]

They are only rated to 100 degrees, not very confidence inspiring...

[Rolls]

Are you sure they are coolant lines then? Because coolant gets above 100c...

Got mine back. Gtx3076. Laggier than stock. Duh. Nice power curve 272.9rwkw at 17psi I think they said. Only got power/torque chart. Getting boost chart tommorow.

No internals. This a daily safe tune.

Mods? Keen to see the dyno sheet

That sounds like a normal GT3076 that kind of power, keen to see the dyno sheet to see how much laggier it is compared to a GT3076
