Garrett GT6041

Where might one find such a turbo in decent useable shape, for a decent amount ?

Thanks, Nik

Hi Nik

They're a fairly rare item these days , why the need for this particular turbo ??

Looking for a turbo to spin a free turbine with some useable shaft power. I see you guys used the gt6041 for karts prior to designing and building your own turbines.

Would it be possible to get 50 ish shaft horsepower out of such a setup? Or maybe a newer turbo would be better suited...

[enginewhisperer]

you can use a much smaller turbo to get 50hp.

Basically any large-ish truck turbo should be ok (look for a 75mm compressor inducer or larger)

A GT6041 would be capable of >150 HP , probably closer to 200HP , my old TV84 turbo bike with a 3.5" inducer produced 110 RWH on the dyno , a modern turbo , preferably diesel unit with a "full sized" turb stage , with a 3" inducer would easily produce 50HP , my 2 shaft kart jetandturbineowners.proboards.com/thread/40/2-shaft-turbine-kart-build produced >30HP with just chain redux and reduced freepower rpm from a flow of ~1.1 lbs/sec , a GT42 comp stage on a GT47 turb stage would be more than enough for 50HP if a Cummins HX82 turb wheel was used for the freepower stage .

What would I need for 125 to 150 shp ?
I would like to build a 4 wheeled vehicle.

Thanks, Nik

Hi Nik

I'd look for the GT6041, though most of them are "industrial" units which only have 98 mm inducers unlike the "performance" ones with the 106 mm , though there are some industrial ones with 106 mm.

Failing finding a GT6041 , the large Cummins/Holset HX82 units can be had with 100mm inducers .
