Garrett Upgrade Options

[nismovzr2003]

Hey guys,

I've recently had my Garrett GT3082R rebuilt into a GT3076R with ceramic bearings through Tony @ Dtech and Steve Murch due to the original comp wheel getting damaged.

Going with a smaller wheel and the bearing upgrade will net better response, just wondering what thoughts are with changing the existing .63 exhaust housing to a .82?

The original GT3082R (without ceramic bearings) saw 320wkw with supporting mods, I'm hoping the newly finished GT3076R with ceramic bearings should see around the 300wkw?

If I was to change exhaust housings from the .63 to the .82, surely this wouldn't be any more less responsive/laggy than the original GT3082R?

Please bare in mind the newly finished turbo is not installed as yet and therefore I haven't been able to compare dyno sheets against the previous GT3082R. I'm simply trying to to see if changing exhaust housings is something I should look into to net more power without sacrificing too much response.

Thought, ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Whos tuning? Ask steve hes the man to ask. If bigger than 2l go .82 imo.

Most Likely Dtech for tuning. It's a 2.1.

Ask dave then dude. No offense to anyone on here but hes going to be able to give you the correct answer. Let us know what you come out with. Love to see pics...

Pic's will have to wait until end of the year unfortunately when I'm back in NZ!

Anyone know much about Snail Turbo or Kinugawa? Any history with their products? Quality?

Interested in their 11 blade design comp wheels. Both companies produce a direct 11 blade replacement for the GT & GTX 3076R. Is it worth the coin upgrading from a standard type 6 blade design?

Turbine housing's, looking into their 0.82AR instead of buying genuine Garrett as they're very pricey.

Any thoughts, info, knowledge welcome

cheers.

Ask tony what comp hes running. Sure his is older 6bl and his car makes more nunga over the whole curve than a vf. I wouldnt throw a taiwan/ching billet comp in to a build like yours.

I have ran both.

The snail turbos are good. Can get genuine Garrett core. Or recently they just made their own cartridge.

I run a Garrett based gtx30 with a snail compressor. And I love it. We also got a custom gtx titanium compressor made too. The stuff they are making is first class.

My replacement will be a snail turbo for sure.

I believe they designed and make the gtx wheels for Garrett.

Link to their website? Garretts same money...

[dmacnz]

Best place I have found to contact the is through Facebook. "Snail turbo".

We currently have two snail compressors running on gtx3071 and they go very well.

Tempted to try a 3582 with their core!

No way in hell ill take them seriously. Using a gmail account and less english than my 5 month daughter. Looks like a rich kid with a cnc and food colouring. If they were cheap sure but with what they cost its a joke. Kamak are far too expensive too.

Their intake manifold they were 'developing' looks like an exact copy of the process west one too.
