I don't think they have been released yet. We will just have to see how they perform.

GT-K's are in Jan, the new GT-M's are already out. We have sold quite a few of them and they are simply awesome units.

What are the highest flowing turbos you know of with a max of 62MM Wheels?

With what we have tested the S62 with ETT will outflow pretty much the rest of the 60-63mm range units. They flow close to a 66mm equivalent.

That is kind of what I thought.

We have a class out here that lets you run a true 94MM Thumper
or twin true 62MM at the same weight!!!!!
The 94MM have made over 1600 to the wheels on a stick car.
The standard 61MM Garrett Wheels whould not make 1400HP to the flywheel.
It just does not seem fare!!!!

Wow who wrote those rules??

A pair of GT 61's will make about 1200-1300hp max at the crank. A pair of S62's will max out around 1500-1600hp crank. The ETT wheels make a nice difference, but they are not miracle workers...lol

I just read the turbo requirements....they are way off. Twins will not compete with those rules unless they give them a weight break or run some cheater 62's which can be made :wink:

I thought that you would like those rules.
I would think that a "necked" down 67-70MM in a smaller type
compressor(GT40ish) housing might do the trick!

I have some billet comp wheels here that are not machined yet I could build pretty much anything with on the CNC. So maybe a 102-104mm ex with a 62mm inducer (tip) and using the ETT wheels would allow for some High pressure ratio #'s to be achieved and some pretty good #'s. Also the rules only say inducer and leading edge and says nothing about how far from the tip it would have to be . I could get the CNC to slap a wheel out real quick to those specs...hehe

New GTK turbo

Has anyone heard of what kind of performance the gt-k's are providing? I figured there are a few of them out there now.

 

[JZ 97 SS 1500]

We have 4 customers with the GTK-1000's and they are making around 750-800rwhp with them. So the turbo will support some airflow indeed.

 

[1dmbth]

Thanks for the info. I am trying to decide between GT-4276 and GTK-1000 for my stage II.

The GT42 will make more power, but will suffer more from some added lag.

Brett,

We will be displaying the GTK's this week at the Nationals, along with techs from Turbonetics. As for performance... we have not yet ran them on the GN's, but our expectations are high with the use of new Tnetics F1 turbine and compressors wheels. We have been using the new wheels in our custom TR turbos we have been using and the performance increases has been more than noticeable. I just sent a 76 BB unit out to a customer replacing a GT74, received a call back yesterday by customer informing me the spool up was "crazy" fast and the power increase was absolutely all he had hoped for and more.

Just finishing up a 70 gtq that was converted to a bb by turbonetics. I can't wait to see the difference between my old pt6376. I keep you's posted.
