GTurbo turbos just got some additional attitude:
New range of turbos are available as of new week, all with extended tip compressor technology on comp wheels, all comp wheels chemically treated to reduce cracks and crack propogation, allowing higher rpm amd pressures. All Turbos Happy at the standard waste gate setting of 11-14psi and deliver early boost response. Figures below are indications of maximum attainable pressure and performance.
On the back of the success of the first series of turbo upgrades, all the proceeds have gone into R&D which is why I'm rather sporatic on the forums these days; a little more active in last few weeks.
I plan to load dyno results in coming weeks. A "Stage 2" Grunter spec will be installed next week on a 1HDT. I will post a video of this on Youtube and will advise when done.
Importantly, every one of these turbos will be acceptable as a daily driver application and all of them are happy at lower boost values than the quoted maximums and deliver the "wants and needs" of the average punter with minimal modifications (such as std exhaust and no intercooler). In the case of dead stock, the Grunter Stage 1 is the logical choice and will be the best performer.
Some basic details as follows.
Grunter:
Stage (1) revised turbine for higher flow without sacrificing low end response. 11-20Psi 180whp.
Stage (2) capable of 215whp and 25psi to 3500rpm..... Revised turbine design for higher flow, revised comp wheel for higher efficiency and pressure ratio
Bad Boy:
Badder than ever, more turbine flow and higher compressor efficiency.... up to 245whp @ 29psi throughout the rev range with nice AFR's, 3 comp wheel options from 22-29psi.
Head Kicker:
Newest in the group, 35psi throughout rev range, up to 280whp, really designed just to show off..... and race
website is coming, finally..... Index of / but nothing there right now.
