$1300, it wasnt brand new. It was on a 200sx for less than 1000kms, and he put it into a wall. Made 220rwkw on that car. Its BB, sounds good, spools very early, and when the car is shut off, it spins for about another 30seconds Smile

Dont know exactly what power its making yet as the engine is only half run in and a power run hasnt been done. Reving to 5000rpm it was making at least 90kw, on 5.5psi, so we are guessing that at about 7000rpm, it would be making 110kw or so. And when fully run in and boosted to about 20psi, more than 200rwhp.

that would happen to be the Garrett GT28 (450hp) TurBOSS???

has a .64 Turbine and a .70 compressor

Not quite but close. It has the core CHRA no.446179-0018 in a smaller compressor cover .60. So its that core but squeezed in to my turbo. Dont know why they did that, but garrett seemed to think that it was the better option for what the guy wanted(it was a track car). I have been told a few different things about how much power it can make, up to 450hp, but i dont think that is possible through that sized turbo. A mate had a nearly identical one made, which garrett said would make over 400hp, and they look identical, just his has a newer version of the core.

I guess i may be able to do something like that. What do you want? Engine specs and stuff. It might take me a while to put it all together, but i'll try. It will also depress me when i have to go through all the receipts to find some of the stuff Sad

So that means that the front blades are smaller as well,

did they have them Trimmed?

option for later upgrade, how bout a T66 front wheel with a .70 compressor, push hard tooo Smile

If your sending that to him, im so getting a copy. passive_necro@hotmail.com thanks loz, your a champ.

Nope, the cartridge wasnt touched. The housing was machined to fit the cartridge in.

A T66 compressor would be huge...I like it Smile

I say you should go it,

i have mates who have .63 VL Turbines with T66 front wheels, and .70 comp, not sure on the cartridges, but have the wheels trim to suit desired terminal velocity, haha

but run external gate wasters
