Anybody got any pics before install?

There's a big thread about these turbos with pics on the "other" forum.

EDIT:

here's the link. pics are in there somewhere.

http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=110154

Keep in mind that even in Garrett's designed housings, the lb/min numbers for these turbos are as follows.

GT32 - 42lb/min max
GT35 - 51lb/min max
GT37 - 50lb/min max
GT37(82mm) - 55lb/min max

These numbers are in Garretts extremely large exhaust housings, not in PTE's much smaller housing.

PTE rates these in their small bolt-on housings as:

GT32 - 52lb/min
GT35 - 60lb/min
GT37 - 75lb/min

I have a hard time believing that putting these new Garrett combinations in a smaller turbine housing will result in more power as a compressor will only flow as much as it's rated, no matter the turbine. Things that make you go hmm.

Not a PTE but you can get an idea from these.

Come on JDM, we are not referring to any GT30R Ball Bearing turbo in this thread.

that's the closest thing i could find to what he is looking for

Here is my PTE GT3251 before install. I will snap some post-install pics tomorrow.

Ignore my stupid finger in the pic.




PTE GT3251 vs AGP T28

I wish I had done pre install pics... kinda... but turbo on a table pics are everywhere... I'll do one when I'm off and it is sunny w/o the intake pipe on...

From PTE

turbos feature a T31 Hi Flow turbine housing with a CNC machined Precision T04E style compressor cover that’s been redesigned for maximum efficiency.

Do you think compressor housing changes may account for that?

Also on www.precisonte.com I can not find any lb/min ratings...

I was curious about PTE's ratings on those turbos too... It doesn't seem to add up... Anyone care to explain?

No it's not. It's as far as you can get. I'm not buying new downpipe, o2 housing and external gate to install new turbo. I just wanted to see what PTE's exhaust housing looks like.

Then maybe you should have asked for a picture of the exhaust side of a PTE turbo. Considering the Turbine housing is no different then the 5 million PTE turbos that are out there running on dsm's. The only thing that's visually different on any DSM PTE GT turbo is the wheels. Maybe more product research is required on your part. or maybe just learn how to express yourself better when posting.

Happy Boosting.

theyre was a huge post on the GT3251 and 3255 on dsmtalk but got closed because of vendor problems. From specs the GT3251 does flow approx 42lbs/min (been checked on dsmlink as well) maybe just a hair more, utalizes a 51mm compressor wheel in the to4e compr cover. Its rated around 480hp but thats up in the air because PTE hasnt really done any testing on these. Someone is suppose to be dyno testing the 3251 tonite on 21psi pump gas, street dsmlink tuning. And the GT3255's are actually closer to the other PTE 50trims because it flows approx 52lbs/min, rated at 500-520hp but efficiency wise the 3251 is more like the 50trim.

a 42 lb/min compressor wheel and 480 hp just doesn't add up to me.

someone needs to get to the dyno/track with this turbo

42lb/min flow rate should be around 420hp, but they say the GT wheels, lighter and supposidly more efficient help greatly, then again the GT32 turbine is similar to the Stage II t3 wheel. Sometime tonite theyre will be dyno numbers floating, but im sure theyre wont be many track times for some time, mines a paper weight right now since its winter so.

I can believe the smaller one only pushes ~42 lb/min. 300.9 whp on 20 ish psi pump gas with basic supporting mods makes me believe so. (that's a local guy's #s) It's alright, but nothing special imho.

297 whp
11.2 a/f Ratio
20Psi 93 Octane

Wich is approx 365hp at the crank, that was on a bone stock 7bolt longblock including 2g head etc.

Just to make sure, this is the GT3251??

also, what are the mods exactly. if you know.

Dyno graph?

Perhaps you should quit snorting Mayor Barry's trail of crack he left and read more carefully instead of telling people to write more clearer because your #### nut brain can't process what your eyes see. PTE is not same as FP so quit posting your pics every chance you get. Exhaust side wasn't the only thing I wanted to see but told you so because you posted something that I didn't need.

Oh yeah, happy boosting!

DSMTurbos. Did you install this yet? GT32E was my most likely choice for next turbo. Let me know how you like it.

hey folks. we are the folks that dynoed the GT3251. So far the customer has been happy with the turbo. The spool is real quick on it. The install is fairly simple as long as you have the right parts.





notice the power curve, beautiful. Torque was made real hard real fast to. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

now that power alone is nice, however we have a lot of room to play with. That one was on a:
stock 7 bolt
HKS cams 64/72
DSMlink
93 octane
very consevative tuning
no timing adjustment
2 counts of knock
20psi

This one was the GT3251 with the 52trim (51mm/71mm wheel). The pulls were made on a AWD dyno.

we can see this turbo going further and we hope to have the larger GT3255 on the dyno shortly.

We'll keep you updated.

Take it easy little guy.If you were more specific with your initial post im sure you would have gotten more accurate responses. Maybe you should read your own posts, and see exactly what was said. Im sorry if my comments and pictures are offensive to you. Good luck with your future PTE purchase.

My turbo uses a GT wheel and .60 A/R cover just like PTE just with anti surge ports

There is nothing different about any of the PTE GT stuff other then the wheels. What exactly are you trying to see. all the DSM pte turbos look the same.

I just can't find anything on PTE's site with those ratings. Are those from PTE or from a PTE reseller stretching the truth?
