Garrett turbo

[Rumbul]

Hey guys I have just comeback from Nz and while I was there I managed to pick up a new genuine Garrett bb gt35 turbo with a .70 housing for a an absolute song !!!! $800 Aus dollars . My question is can this turbo be run with the standard radiator clearance space and if so what manifold would be recommended .

Can't go wrong with a 6boost manifold.

They are also on special right now. Check his fb page...

Thanks Bazeng , they have one on the shelf . I have just rebuilt this engine and it only has standard rods and new pistons so may need to get some forgies and some head work before I bolt up the new turbo . Have you tried this turbo with a .70 housing ? I seem to remember you have tried a few

A small rear housing for nice response.
Try it out first

I've used a GT30R with a .63 and .82.
.63 was too small for my 2.3L
.82 made 330kw on BP98. Really good on the street. Actually best turbo imo for the street.

The GT35R I have run with a .82 and 1.06.
.82 was great top end (ran the 10.9 1/4 mile @ 136mph on BP98 fuel - 25psi boost). It was definitely laggier and less responsive against the GT30R. It made 360kw at the wheels when I ran this time.
1.06 I never actually tuned for. It was significantly physically bigger and would have given it much more top end. It lost the turbo spool at idle but I'm sure I would have made a lot more power! I believe it would have gotten me close to the 400kw's on 98 and more with E85.

The other in between sizes are not T3 flanged so I can't comment.

If you need rods and other parts, I'm actually just about to advertise some in the FS section.

I'm sure your stock engine could take the punishment on low boost.... mind you, these turbo's like 25+ psi.

Ask Brisvr4 how he gets his stock block VR4 running so well!
