i came across the GT-k series turbo, there a new series from turbonetics and i just wanted to know if anyone was running one, and thought on it aside from looking crazy (which also serves a function). im looking in the market for a new turbo, the ct-26 just isn't doin it for me any more

New? Garrett had this technology for many years now in it's GT series. The compressor housing just doesnt have as cool porting.

My GT40-88 has this.

hmm well thats why im asking.

A Ported Shroud compressor (see Fig. 2) is a feature that is incorporated into the compressor housing. It functions to move the surge line further to the left (see Fig. 3) by allowing some airflow to exit the wheel through the port to keep surge from occurring. This provides additional useable range and allows a larger compressor to be used for higher flow requirements without risking running the compressor into a dangerous surge condition. The presence of the ported shroud usually has a minor negative impact on compressor efficiency.

would the porting affect the time it takes for the turbo to reach full spool, lets say 15 psi

 

[Ric]

Porting usually just decreases the peak hp at full boost by a tad.

my buddie over at revD up kuztoms intalled one on a S2K two months before it was released to the public. when he finally got it up and running it was fast!

So the BOV made his car faster?

 

[F_T_F]

i dont think he ment the BOV.

lol:biglaugh: what meant the GT-K turbo made it really fast....although it would be pretty cool if a BOV really did make a car go faster
