[12v VR6 turbo]

Garrett have changed their sales so it's all compressor side and buy what turbine side you want for it, GTX will obviously be more money than GT with the changes, so first point is budget! If you can GTX over GTR or GTW then may as well.

 

All will get you there, spool will depend on turbine side a/r, usual for road is probably about 0.82, some go for 0.63a/r but they give good low down but can choke a bit up top, prob better for a 400hp set up or so. Couple hundred rpm's difference on the GT30 turbine over 35 using same a/r good around the 500+hp mark which is what you are aiming for, should be slower wheel speeds too. 

 

So, a GTX3076R will give you a little better spool, arguably a bit better for daily driving, GTX3582R will give you lower wheel speed/stress, also bit more potential as you get the boost bug for 500+, what I would go for. It's all Gen II stuff now too - I also wouldn't mind testing out their GTW journal bearing ones to see what they are like compared with the old T series or PT Turbo's they're aimed at.

Appreciate the detailed response sir. 

 

Just to throw a spanner in the works, I have just now got off the phone to a Garrett supplier and he recommends the Garrett GTX3576R for good low end torque. Apparently the GTX3582R is all top end which is not practical for a daily / street car. He also mentioned putting a smaller housing such as 0.68 to get faster spool will only do more bad than good on a GTX35.

Hi guys,

 

I have a 12v 2.9 forged engine in place. Looking for the right turbo to get me around 500hp.

 

So far I have shortlisted these turbos:

• GTX3076R
• GT3582R
• GTX3582R

 

Leaning towards a GTX3582R at the moment. Any one out there running any of these turbos on their VR6's that can help me make up my mind?

Hey guys,

 

Got some spare time on my hands so thought i'd upload some pics of my daily VR 

 

Only had it for 2 years and already cost me a small fortune  

 

Current mods are a full milltek exhaust system and Ram air induction, seeing just under 200hp

 

Engine is strong and had the chains re-done recently. Plan is to stay OEM although the Vento front end is really appealing to me right now.

 

Contemplating putting in a Rotrex charger    

 

 

 

 

New wheels on....

Anyone running this on here? What sort of figures could you expect? How does it compare to a rotrex
