Afternoon
Right you'll have to excuse my ignorance on this ...
I know there are a million and one threads on the subject of single turbos, but its hard to understand just what you need when it all looks like a load of numbers and codes :chuckle:
Ill tell you what I've got, and then what I ideally want:
I'm running a gt4088r on a 2.6 at about 1.3-1.4 bar, it makes a decent amount of power, but I suspect it is probably capable of much more than I foresee myself wanting in the near future.
Which brings me to think about getting a slightly smaller turbo.
Now, the car is track only car, not road legal, and so response isn't the main thing I am after, however it would be nice to have as much response as possible, as the 4088 is a bit slow to respond coming out of slow corners.
For argument sake, and I cant remember the exact numbers, but say the car is running around [email protected] and on song at 4.5k ish.
Would a gt3582r suffice for my needs if I didn't plan on going over say 650 tops???
Now the next criteria is that IDEALLY, I would want it to be v-band on both the inlet and outlet of the turbine housing...
When I say ideally, ill only consider changing my turbo if I can have this option.
Being an abused track car, the amount of times ive had to remove it to change gaskets/snapped bolts/other maintenance on the car, its becoming a ball ache.
I see the gt35 is available with a tial stainless vband housing which looks right up my street.
Or.. I would be happy to put up with my truck turbo, if perhaps there was a v-band option for the turbine housing inlet, and any other options to make it spin up quicker.
Im also not particularly wanting to spend fortunes on an all singing all dancing new fangled spaceship turbo, just keep things simple.
So, is the turbo I stated above suitable for my needs on a 2.6l if fitted with a tial housing? If so in what trim etc etc
Here's a link to the site I found it on Garrett GT3582R (aka GT35R, aka GT35/40R) Bearing Turbo : atpturbo.com
Again, excuse my ignorance, ill look forward to your suggestions.
