discopotato03 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Fatz you do have a couple of options here , first is to replace the .50 ARR comp cover with the larger .70 ARR T04E cover and keep the backplate . Second is to use the larger series T04S cover and backplate (adapter ring) which is what Garrett did with their GT3540R turbocharger . If your finances are limited go the larger ARR .70 "E" cover . If the sky is your limit go the "S" bits . Also remember that the T04S covers are quite large so make sure there's enough real estate where your turbo lives . Generally compressor covers are sized around airflow rates or speed . So for a given compressor wheel the larger the Area Radius Ratio the lower the gas speed will be and vice versa . Also the larger it is the less chance it will have of being a choke point at high wheel speeds . Someone did tell me that all else being equal going up in comp cover AR brings the boost on a little later and "hits" harder . With most Garrett turbos there is a set compressor wheel diameter for each wheel/cover family , ie 60mm wheels T3 covers , 71mm wheels T04B covers , 76mm wheels T04E covers , 82mm wheels T04S covers . In recent years Garrett started going up a size in cover with some of the GT BB series compressors . I think this is because the comp wheels are mechanically stronger , and and can still pump efficiently at much higher rpm's than the bush bearing has beens . This is a win win situation , the small high speed wheels are compact , cheap to produce and more importantly have less innertia so spool sooner . Examples of this are the little GT28RS (T04B comp cover) and some of the GT2835R series turbos with 71mm compressors and T04E covers . The Garrett people inthe US tell me that the up sized cover , and a little extra tip height on the wheel , gives extra pumping capacity and a few more points compressor efficiency . I can only think of two examples of Garrett turbos that went smaller in cover size , they are the HKS GT2540 and the Ford GT3540R . The 2540 is getting on and was probably an attempt to get a bit more flow and power out of a small series turbo , and a low mount compact (convienent) fit for GTR's . Its safe to say Ford was not looking for serious performance with the XR6T so a compact and probably cheaper adequate cover got the nod . You can bet they knew people would modify them for performance , so the limited cover capacity may have been intended to limit the performance with the std turbo but not affect the standard state of tune .

fatz Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 yea just stuck a side pipe on the beast and took it out to the drift day sadly budget has died in the arse so i will have to putt around for some time until a set of cam gears arrive and the powerfc which is probably about 3 months away im quite happy with the power but as soon as those cam gears are in hopefull it will bring it on a bit better if cam gears dont bring it down to 4000rpm with power fc and a decent tune then i will consider the upgrade to external wastegate and a .86 rear housing and combine it with the larger front cover but hey im happy as a pig in shit at the moment and when i win lotto ill do the next big upgrade ive also got a rb30 complete engine that will be getting a solid bottom end over the next few years to replace the gtr bottom end when or if it ever goes yea baby anyone have some cheap cam gears pete Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/61398-xr6t-turbo-powered/page/3/#findComment-1178306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
