PTE GT turbos

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

The HP numbers advertised are almost always crank numbers. The numbers are very realistic, with the right tuning and enough boost to get these GTwheels hot and horny and you got one sick turbo:laugh:

My pleasure for the info.

Marti:dsm:
 
We will be upping the boost on the GSX in the next few weeks. like i said i will keep you all well posted.

The GT32E is both the 3251 and the 3255. You specify which wheel when you are ordeing.

Priamarily its considered the 3251 because of the fact that, that is the standard Garrett assembly. The 3255 is custom made by PTE in house.

Marti:shhh:
 
Next time jdmawd you going to get smart with somebody make sure you don't sound like ass that you are [/B]


When you get your turbo let us know :thumb:


**edit** you sound so mean grrrrr:laugh:
 
You just can't let it go, put your stupid remarks to rest, and accept the fact you're an imbecyl for posting pics of FP turbo while I asked for PTE?

Not to be a dick, but whats the big difference? Why would you want to know how a PTE turbo looks like before install anyways? Can you eye compressor wheels and turbine wheels and tell what kind they are? Either way, a turbo is a turbo. it's got a T04E(could have a B or S cover too) housing on it and a Mitsu exh housing.. what's so exciting about that? Just curious.:confused:

You so beat me to the punch (damn Acrobat Reader won't let me copy) :D

From RayHall's site.. here's a Garrett TO4E 50-trim (a proven 400HP Pump Monster) to compare these to:

Note:
3251 maxes out at ~42 lbs/min
3255 maxes out at ~54 lbs/min
TO4E 50-Trim maxes out at ~49 lbs/min

You spelled *imbecile* wrong. Did you get that turbo yet? your first post was very descriptive also nice work.

Happy boosting.

Now back on topic.


Im no fortune teller but Im running the same boost level on pump gas. As my previous PTE 50 trim. I did have the car dynoed be there were lots of issues with the car. Not to turn this into a dyno review excuse making event.

To make a long story short. I was sold the wrong injectors and the lower isolator seals at the head were not installed. Just the lower injector O-rings. those with bosch injectors know what im talking about.

Anyway under boost a spray of fuel and boost was shooting from the head on the dyno. we made only one pull at 20 psi on pump gas. The results were 307whp at 20 psi. Rob also said the dynojet was having a hard time picking up the rpm signal. From the buschur COP ignition I am running. Im currently running 25 psi with a knock value of under 10.

I see no reason for the PTE equivalent turbo to be any less capable on pump gas. Personally if i didn't have the forced performance turbo and dnp header. I would have Ben and Kevin's full Garrett kit. I just don't think they offered this wheel back in October when I got my turbo.

You're right. FP bought up all the CHRAs that came into the country. We didn't have them until November.
:(
 
You really like to pick everybody's shit apart don't you? It was descriptive for others to post pictures of the right turbo, dyno runs, and opinions. But not you, you just can't let it go? Ok, you win, I'm an idiot and you're not. I can't write meaningful posts or spell and you can.

But wait, it's spelled "I see no reason" genius. Before you go correcting every body else make sure your shit doesn't stink either. Now go away your posts just make me laugh. Nobody cares you made 307 whp on 50 trim with so many supporting mods and had an excuse. There are people who make that on 16g. It just shows you can't work on your car and are shitty tuner with all the bling bling parts.


Somebody lock this thread. I've got all the information I needed :thumb:

WOW... you cant read or spell Amazing. There is no reason to lock this thread. lots of good information has been contributed. Its unfortunate that the initial post made no sense. However i think we did a good job of making it a good thread. Maybe you should consider unsubscribing and just go away.

Agreed I was well aware that the way the injectors were installed was questionable, it was a knoob mistake. However Im real good a correcting mistakes Did you get that turbo yet?


Happy Boosting

:cry:

What's up with everyone being such mama's boys. GET OVER IT!!!

P.S.

I would rather see an FP turbo over a PTE turbo any day of the week. Surge ports. Mmmmmmm.......

:talon: :laser: :dsm:
 
Mods, take out all the dumbness please. Martin we can use my VR4 as a 1g test mule =P You supply the motor, turbos, and fmic, i'll supply the car =P
 
:rolleyes:

Ok.. back on topic :thumb:

Looking a the specs of the SCM-50 and GT-32 on PTE's Site .. the Compressor wheel of the GT is 17mm larger at the Inducer (71mm vs 54mm). Am I missing something? I thought the GT wheels were "smaller more efficient".

Also relating to the bolt-on GT-Turbos.. does anyone else offer the GT Comp Cover with the surge ports besides FP?
 
71mm is the exducer.

And yes, we offer the port shrouded compressor covers as well.

Port shrouded covers for our full Garretts, and for the bolt-on BB turbos. We've got the FP turbine housings, and the PTE turbine housings for the bolt ons.

At this point the only RS with a GT wheel would be the 65. (GT40 compressor wheel, or what PTE likes to call the "61") PTE also calls the T350 turbine wheel a "GT350", so if you want, we'll call it that too so it sounds cool.

So far, we haven't found a new non ball bearing GT32, 35, 37 wheel combination that is any better than the good ol tried and true 50 trim T04E, and 60-1 wheels.

What is your opinion the the hot side of the GT30 and GT32 turbos?
 
The GT wheels are smaller than a conventional stg 3 wheel or t350 wheel however at high boost apps it will flow more air. These GT wheels really like big boost.

and folks please dont get this thread locked this is one of the only resources for info on these turbos and wheels lets not ruin it.

Thanks

Martin, would it be possible for you to post a picture of the gt3251 and gt3255 next to each other with the compressor housings removed? It would be nice to be able to visually compare the difference in size of the compressor wheels.

Also, the gt32(2.15" ex./ 2.52" in.) turbine wheel is very close in size to the 69 trim t31 stage II(2.12" ex./ 2.55" in.) turbine wheel.
 
this wouldnt happen to be redawd from the other board would it? :thumb: j/k.

i dont have any GT3255's right now, i believe i got a million pics of the 3255 by its self though. gimme a little bit and i will post those.

when i get a 3255 i will put them side by side cause i almost always have at least a few GT3251' and SCM50's here.

Thanks

Martin:p
 
What would people say the equivalent PTe turbo to a FP3052 turbo is? I am looking at alternatives now as i cannot order a FP turbo from the UK but i can get hold of a precision turbo no problems. Thanks Rick
