Greg Jenkins yea Andre would definitely bring out anyone's ignorance.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Awesome information, I'm very interested in seeing how it stands up against the Borg Warner EFRs in terms of boost threshold and response versus maximum power output

[@mm6705]

Seeing as Garrett can't copy the integrated bov design, it will never beat the transient response of an EFR. IMO garrett is still playing catchup to efr 5year old tech. I'm just sticking with efr6258, 200whp to 500whp, 2000rpm boost threshold on a small 4 cylinder...

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

M M Have you ever seen a 6258 hit 500whp? I doubt a 44lb/min wheel can flow that much... And for transient response as soon as you roll on throttle the diverter valve closes so it's essentially "not there" anymore, not sure how that would affect spool-up/response?

[@mm6705]

the bpv on the compressor housing allows compressed air to stay in the housing between fast shifts, dramatically increasing transient response as you enter the next gear. Especially with no lift shifts. There are a few people on mt.net in the mid-high 400whp with the 6258, two above 500whp on 6758, and none of them have fully optimized setups. Sure, you'd have to try pretty damn hard to hit 500whp on the 62... and I guess at that level, you should have the 67 anyways for better iats.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

M M Who on MT has hit high 400's on a 62? I've seen Soviet at 458 and Savington at 452, both on 6758's. As far as I know I have one of the only BP's over 400whp on a 62. For transient response, I'm talking about a situation like this: 10-15% throttle mid corner, rolling up to 100% on exit. That response won't be affected by internal vs external diverter valve.

[@MyRotaryLife]

M M most of the world is playing catch up to the IWG EFR series and in a lot more ways than just the internal gate and BOV. Their compressor efficiencies are just incredible and the dual true twin scroll turbine housing has a whole page of advantages over all others notably ignition pulse modulation volute design. I run a 91/80 and to be honest can’t see me running anything else other than a next gen version of the same turbo.

[@Danger_mouse]

Exciting times ahead with this range of turbos. 👍

[@vitaly6322]

@4:50 he states; "there isn't much difference between a cast and forged wheel." That is where many of us have to disagree, there is a considerable difference in turbocharger response simply due to the fact that a forged or billet compressor wheel has much less mass compared to a cast compressor wheel. That alone is worth the additional cost, not to mention the improved durability.

[@hpa101]

Are there any back to back tests you can link using the same wheel with the only difference being cast vs billet? Interested to see - Taz. www.hpacademy.com/technical-articles/whats-a-billet-compressor-wheel-and-why-should-you-care/

[@vanepico]

Surely a forged item will have a higher mass due to being compressed into the rough shape before machining? Cast items generally have voids and defects which will make them less dense.

[@dj4monie]

@@vanepico Are you a metals expert? This is a grand assumption on your part. Just pick the turbo that fits your power goals and be done with it.

[@vanepico]

@@dj4monie Any amateur metallurgist will tell you a cast material will be less dense than a forged material for the same volume. Great care must be put in, however, to avoid the machining of stress raisers into the forged part, as this will greatly reduce the strength. If you have ever seen the failure mode of a cast material, the fracture face is very rough, and you will often see voids, however the quality of casting in a turbine wheel will most likely be on the higher end, it still will not be as strong as a forged item, subject to machining quality. It is that extra density that gives it the extra strength.

[@jlss-qm6xc]

Sure, if they are of the same strength. He basically said that with equivalent shape, the billet wheel is stronger. So he wasn't wrong.

[@jeromelevesque8330]

I wonder if Garrett will be limited one day in term of turbos efficiency without internal components size changing ? This is amazing the power potential turbos has today compared with old school turbos with the same compressor and turbines size !!

[@corvettefever360]

Garrett definitely brought turbos to a whole new level. There is no denying that! With that being said, how are turbos bought on ebay (not an "ebay" turbo) making the same power, & for an eighth of the price? I at least respect the guy who kept it 100% real about Billet verse cast not making more power oh, but that it has to do with efficiency. Because this is accurate. This also partially answers the question that I asked above. The thing is does this extra efficiency justify paying up to 10 times the amount? We've been building race engines for years and we have found all too many times that these so called "ebay" or "China" turbos can make just as much power and in truth some of them can really last a long time. Sure some are junk but many are built quite well and even if their measurements such as trim, AR, etc, are off , and or you are looking to customize these turbos, this can be easily done, and for very cheap. And even if they don't have as good of an efficiency as the more expensive Garretts, Borg Warner, Etc, you could replace the cheaper Turbo twice & it still cost less than these more expensive turbos. My point is, how can Garrett truly justify this? And please don't tell me they make more power or these others just are so unreliable, because I know for a fact they are not. Not only from my crew using and Building engines with cheaper ones, but also from friends who use them add not to mention the countless people on the internet who do the same, and have never had an issue. Or maybe, just possibly, Garrett could bring some of the price is down somewhat to be more competitive. Because most people would still choose to pay the extra for a well-known brand name like Garrett, but not when it's hundreds of dollars more. And let's not mention that most people don't give a damn about efficiency. This is proven and how people do things. People can't even hold onto a car or phone for more than a couple years without having to upgrade to the next thing. So when they're selling it to the next guy do you really think they give a damn how long the turbo is going to last? Highly unlikely

[@dj4monie]

If you don't want to justify the cost, then don't and buy your knock off Chinese turbo on Ebay. No old design turbo will spool decently under 3500 rpm and still make good power on a 4 cylinder engine. V8 owners shouldn't care about spool too much because they have plenty of displacement. Garrett's GTW is for people like you a good turbo, not the latest high zoot technology but a good journal bearing turbo that can be upgraded to ball-bearing since it shares it's basic structure with GT and GTX turbos.

[@JPTinioMedia]

Can you interview Robert Young at Forced Performance about the Xona Rotor turbo design with the UHF wheel, have not heard a single bad thing about xona. Seems to be very competitive and comparable to the G Series turbos.

[@stygmartyr]

Nicely presented!

[@heritagemotorcarsofbyramll8362]

Great interviews you be holding! so, when selecting the proper turbine a/r housing for a 5 cylinder to be super effective with a 95lb turbo, what calculation is used for optimal performance in achieving quick response? .67 .87 . 90s' etc. And would a internal wastegate help aid in maximizing such system?

[@dj4monie]

Sigh.... I would wait or you can get a G42-1200C if it's a FWD/AWD Audi. T4 housing will flow plenty and no there is no internal wastegate option. EWG aren't loud anyway unless you are at high boost and high load which would mean the last thing you should be concerned about at that speed is a little more exhaust noise.

[@numinous4789]

I think the G25-660 is an amazing turbo for my goals. But coming in at over $2k, it's hard not to consider a Gen 2 PTE5558 instead for a good deal lower price.

[@dj4monie]

G2-550 and G2-660 replace the GTX28xx turbos and GTX29xx turbos. Twin 550's should make 900 whp without running them too hard. Twin 660's will do 1000-1100 whp. These and the new G3's which should be announced at SEMA in Sept (2019) will be the new replacement turbos for the G35 GTR community. A G2-660 is not good enough for me to replace my GTX3071 Gen II on my Focus ST. But if you buy a new ewg kit from ATP for the platform, it will easily make 500+ hp on race gas not even ethanol is needed.

[@gothicpagan.666]

One thing I've never understood is why they don't have greater oil flow back to the sump, so allowing a greater overall oil flow rate and hence more oil cooling?

[@485Runner]

why has garrett gone away from twinscroll turbos?

[@dj4monie]

You can get a twin scroll housing for the largest G series turbos what are you talking about?

[@Dave-dg4ob]

@@hpa101 Depends on the engine and it does match the GT3071, not GTX3071 nor the GTX3071 Gen II. On a 2.0L engine I say about 480-500 whp on E85. Yes the spool will be faster it's about the same size as the GTX28xx turbine, only lighter and more efficient. For max power it will be either a .72 A/R housing or .92 both are available IWG and EWG.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

susanrc73 thank you..

[@skippy2987]

Does dual ring seals mean that you can run the G-series with air restrictor classes and/or suck through carby? Also, the specs of this turbo are amazing, enough to alter entire builds. The specs imply that if this T-25/T-28 sized turbo can flow 660hp, it's more than enough to feed my stock 4.0 AU (which whimpers out a cool 210hp out of the box, 250 if you let it breathe properly without boost). It should come on boost somewhat before the stock torque converter locks up, meaning that I no longer need short diff gears or a high stall to get the power down at low speed. I mean I could be a real man and wait for the 30 or 35 sizes to come out, but then I'd be looking at trying to build an engine/box/diff combo to suit 800hp, and that shit costs some serious coin

[@e34boat88]

what turbo is equivalent to GTX3584RS gen2 .82AR t3

[@DeathOrGloryRacingBC]

The G Spot IS real

[@numinous4789]

Garrett, y'all need to come up with something to compete with Borg Warner's EFR line. They are so next-level, even being used on F1 cars. The Gamma-Ti turbine is ridiculously light and their strength increases with temperature, they spool so fast many say they feel N/A, and their IWGs flow like EWGs. I love Garrett, especially your reliability, so can you develop something comparable?

[@dj4monie]

You did not listen to anything that was said! The G25 are just as responsive as the EFR's if not more so and the range will make more power because of better, newer compressor and turbine designs. G25-550 will spool the same or better than a EFR 6258/6758 and make more power, which max power around 480-490 whp. The G25-660 will make almost as much power as a GTX3071 while spooling more like GTX2860. EFR's lightweight turbines don't like to overspeed. But that really is only a problem with the larger B2-B3 frame turbos, likely nothing your interested in.

[@Arctice36]

I’m confused on if the g2567r makes 660hp because the compressor map shows 61lbs/min while the efr 7670 makes 650hp with 64lbs/min

[@MyLonewolf25]

DGFr0sty efficiency difference Compressor isn’t everything in power production either Gotta get out what you put in too so turbine side is just as critical if not more so

[@dj4monie]

Where is the confusion? The G2-660 is rated at 660 hp. On my Focus ST that is 585 whp based on 11.x % driveline loss on my Focus ST. That is assuming you have good intercooling and removed all the restrictions before and after the turbocharger. 7670 EFR is available with a T3 turbine housing but it's a B-2 frame turbo not the same larger turbine housing on the EFR.

[@safewaycart]

​@@hpa101 I am not a fanboy of EVs at all. I belong to the group of still prevalent supporters of internal combustion applications. But I always think about business transformations in any sector. I don’t do that because I fancy fantasizing about a world where electricity is the only universal commodity. I do that because I don’t want to find myself trapped in uncomfortable positions related to economic activities of the past. I know that in certain areas of the World like India, Africa and South America, internal combustion engines will continue to be the only available option for decent period of time in the future. These markets represent the present and the future for Garrett. Here the company should put every effort: market strategy, segmentation, customer requirements. Readjusting to a low-margin/high-volume business environment is the only way to avoid a rapid extinction scenario. As far as Western Economies, these are no longer the prevalent markets for Garrett because in Europe and North America investments and research in combustion engines have stopped in lieu of batteries and electric engines. No substantial advancements will be made on the development of gas/diesel engines if not related to undesirable emissions. VAG, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia are now allocating 80% of their financial resources on electrification; 20% of investments are dedicated to environmental compliance of gas/diesel engines. The problem is where we should put our savings, what we should do with our time, how we should spend our knowledge. What is the future of a company so heavily involved in such a narrow, closely restricted and secluded single business like Garrett? Better than what Kodak did 20 years ago the company should accelerate his involvement in new projects of operations downsizing, output adjustment, workforce reduction.
