GT-K Arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wishihadatalon]

Wow, they have been using the nose cones on turbines since the invention of the turbine! Looked at a plane lately?

Hahaha

 

[11secDSM]

Is there anymore info on these turbos out there? Flow rates, etc? I'd consider the GTK850 or GTK1000 if there was some more info.

Or, have you looked at the 60 trim I had back in 2003 that has a much better designed bullet than that one you are showing.

So that's your secret

 

[94TSiAWD]

Ha! Yup, that's my secret. All you need is a bullet nut on your 16g and you will run 9s!

The bigger secret is that I use a bullet nut for every fastener on my car!

I saw on a vendors site that the GT-Ks look to be only available in a single A/R per model#. Is there an option to go larger on any of these for those looking to get the most power out of them?

Bullet nuts.. I knew it!!! So is there a special assembly lube and proper torking sequence to keep bullet nuts fastened at speed?

I sold my first GTK650 yesterday afternoon. My customer's putting it on a Ford 2.3L that he's dropping into an 80's T-bird. His goal is a 700 WHP street car. Hopefully the GTK gets him there.

As far as I know, there is not yet an option to change the A/R on the turbine housings. All of the T3's are .63 and the T4's are .68, .81, and .96.

 

[SpawnedX]

I'm doing it. I am going to make the plunge and spend 1700 big ones on a GTK-500. Oh how this will hurt.

 

[syclone]

so where do you order these from? are some venders cheaper than others?
I just sold my Syclone so now I can afford a bigger better turbo for the eclipse.
these look pretty inticing.

 

[Tom N]

So these are oil cooled only ball bearing turbos.

^^^ There are only 14 authorized GTK dealers, worldwide. They are all listed on the front page of Turbonetics' site. I work for Motorstate Distributing, so feel free to call me about them.

Yup. They are single BB, dry CHRA's.

 

[Caithness]

All joking aside, would it actually be worthwhile to add a bullet nut to the shaft of any random turbocharger? Would the small gain in efficiency overcome the small increase in weight if I put one on an Evo 16g? Is it even possible to just tighten a standard bullet nut down or are these special fasteners that are balanced with the turbos at the factory?
