como ven esta historia quedo de eggs.
To meet our power goals we called upon Garrett Turbochargers for something bigger. The good folk at Garrett supplied us with a larger GT30R turbocharger. The GT30R is a mid frame size turbo with a low friction for less lag ball bearing center section. It is capable of producing power levels in the mid 400 range. The GT30R is blessed with super efficient compressor and turbine wheels that are a good match for our motor. We used a GT3017 Turbo which has a 56 trim 71 mm compressor wheel in a .50 a/r TO4S compressor housing mated to a 76 trim 60mm turbine with a .82 a/r turbine housing.
This turbo can produce considerably more power than the GT28RS Disco Potato that we were intending to run at this point. The GT30R will have about 1000 rpm more turbo lag which we think is a fair trade off, our long stroke QR25DE will have plenty of low end torque anyway.
For simplicity, we wanted to retain an internal wastegate, the trouble is until recently there were no mid frame internal wastegate exhaust housings on the market for the new GT series turbos. ATP came to our rescue with their new internal wastegate GT series exhaust housing. The ATP housing has a large flapper valve that can flow as well as some external gates. The housing has a built in diffuser which flairs to a full 3” for superior exhaust flow. The housing also divorces the wategate flow from the turbine discharge, another trick that helps boost turbine efficiency.
To help make our downpipe fabrication easier, ATP supplied the special divorced flange that mates to their turbine housing. This flange is grooved to accept a 3” turbine discharge and a 2” wastegate discharge tube.
Since the available space to fit the turbo was quite limited, we had to use some specialized bends from Burns Stainless and The Chassis shop to fabricate our downpipe which is a work of art 3” with a merged collector for a 2” wastegate discharge.
The compressor on our GT30R dwarfs the GT28RS.
