ah haaaa haaaaaaa ha yeah John, it's pretty poor no one beat me yet. About you building a turbine fast? I think I have that record to- Junkyard Wars I built one in 10 hours.
C'mon guys! get with it!
I'm looking for a Garrett GT6042 myself, I figure I'll need to go one better than John.

Hi Chris
LOL.......This won't be a fast build , my healths been a bit poor so limited time in the shed , but it should be finished sometime this year :-)
Comp inducer ~106mm , exducer ~141 mm 56Trim , turb inducer 130mm exducer ~119mm 84 Trim , exducer is a little large for our use but I'll have to live with it , turb scroll A/R at 1.47 is a little "tight" and will limit maximum flow to ~95% of desirable level but still ~150 lbs/min , there was talk of there being an optional 1.7 A/R scroll housing , which would be ideal , but can't seem to find any info on its availability , might need to do more searching once I get the engine running .
Hi Stephan
The GT6041 generally cost >$US 4,000 new .
Cheers
John

That sounds like it's about the same size as the 5HDR I had on the kart. it had 5 inch wheels but i think the inducer on the compressor is smaller than yours, maybe 3.5 inches?

I'm going to just start hitting turbo shops in my travels. I'm sure somewhere there's a big honkin turbo that's been sitting too long. Most of the turbo shop owners are into it so they'll help.

5000SEK is really cheap, the problem starts when you have spent 400 hours of work on the state-of-the-art gas turbine based on the rotary parts from this turbo the comp wheel drops a blade from a bolt forgotten in the housing or whatnot. Now you are more or less forced to pay retail price for a new comp wheel since you have spent too much time on the engine to put it on the scrap pile. Voila, bankrupt... |

Hi Chris I've been doing a bit more research on Garrett turbos and they're now making extra large frame turbos in the GTA57-70 range , but can seem to find much info on them other than this ....... www.turbomaster.info/eng/turbos/gta57-70.php ...............which is kinda scant :-( Anders ..........GT60 comp wheel ~$400 :-) Cheers John |
