what is the size on the new turbine wheel? the GT35r has always been restrictive on the turbine side. The wheels dimensions are just small in comparison to say a s300x

hey mate, the turbine is still the same size, but we have had the trailing edge of the exducer curved to allow around 17% more flow. The problem with going a larger real wheel is the weight, the 35 bearing pack is only tiny if you go a larger or heaver turbine wheel the bearing will fail. This has been proven by garrett as they went to a larger bearing pack for the gtw and the t04z and those turbine wheels are only mm's larger. A larger heavy wheel will just not last!! These wheels have a smaller center hub by 5 mm, that is where we get the extra flow from and the fact that we have dropped a blade as well. The stage 1 wheel was 56% lighter than the factory wheel and this one is 62%. Thanks for the message mate
It kinda looks to me like they may have copied the wheel from the gtx3584rs .... The new Garett 1000hp capable turbo ....
Ask them about reliability of the 9 blade turbine wheels - have they had more failures than standard wheels? I was looking at a new 9 blade turbine wheel for the Greddy/Mitsu when I rebuilt it last year. Performance looked awesome, but longevity not so much - there were reports of the Mitsu ones blowing apart as they didn't have enough material at the centre of the wheel.
You talking about the dyno vid a few pages back ? Yes that was a small half bridge ...but i also had a bigger bridge on an earlier engine .... that did nothing as well .

Can't wait to see the results of that turbine, thanks for sharing Brett!
Cheers . Yet again I've probably made too many changes at once to know the effect of each one , but i'm sure the turbine change will lead to good things . I'm really hoping for a breakthrough this time with all the changes combined.Fingers xd .
