ajazyasin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have done a search but not come up with anything. Im looking at an XS GT45 for drag purposes. Ive tried to contact captainchaos as i know he has one but no response. Does anyone know or can hazzard a guess at the spool characteristics of this turbo? thanks Exducer A/R 1.05 Compressor A/R 0.66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 3.0 or 3.4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ill "hazzaed a guess" at 5000+ rpm plus for full boost id say. Heap of junk imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajazyasin Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 running on ta built 3.0. Do you not think it would be good soley as a drag tubby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Do you not think it would be good soley as a drag tubby? I remember seeing the DJ craig car run with one off them, It was running 13 second 1/4s till he added a huge amount of Nos, Cleland had one on his and took it to the pod as well, he never got any great times with it. Sorry to be harsh to anyone thats got one but imo its a Chinese made paper weight, spend a little more and buy a decent turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 A 42RS is a big one that would spool better than a 45. Why not try that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajazyasin Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 cool, thats all i needed to hear. Any recommendations on a tubby that can produce cerca 1000hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajazyasin Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 OR ill re-phrase that, what is the best spooling 1000hp tubby? I know spool and hp usually dont go hand in hand. Come into some spare funding and want to swap out the T78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 GT42 range from Garrett would be a good start. Paul Whiffin has one on his car, I think he mentioned it should be over 1000 bhp capable when run at 2 bar. IIRC he got 850bhp at 1.7 bar, so hardly pushing a turbo like that. It's always going to be a late spooler, even with a stroker and NOS to help the spool. Pauls was hitting full boost in 4th around the 5.5krpm mark, but without NOS.

Homer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 A 42RS is a big one that would spool better than a 45. Why not try that? Garrett GT42 and the XS power GT45 are not at all comparible in terms of size or power rating. The GT45 XS one is actually smaller than the GT42 RS. The naming conventions are not the same for all manufacturers, thankfully the garrett range do make sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajazyasin Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 thanks. Where does one go for pricing on said tubby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 thanks. Where does one go for pricing on said tubby? Garrett UK would be a good point of call, Chris Wilson might be a good contact. Otherwise you're spoiled for choice: MVP, Kylestt, Whifbitz, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajazyasin Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 what are the spool characteristics of the GT4202R? fair price for em cerca £1600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 what are the spool characteristics of the GT4202R? fair price for em cerca £1600 Its going to be in the 5000rpm regon id say but will make a 1000bhp or close to it unlike the GT45. If i was building a drag car id go with the GT4294R for about 800bhp and spool i could live with if i wanted to use it on the street, then add 200bhp of Nos.

bondango Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Steve W's mkiii is running 7 second 1/4 miles with an XS-power GT45 and an Xs-power wastegate, with lots of 8 second runs.. seems china (USA) crap does work? Dont know how much of a shot he uses though (info for drag only car mind you) [img]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i90/xspower/Supra/steves%20supra/japshow07016.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the cold and hot side on that turbo is v banded in the center and the xs gt45's are bolted, and it looks twice the size.

bondango Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 yup, final setup and running config.. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i90/xspower/Supra/steves%20supra/japshow07001.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 jamie will check with him if they had it modified and why, but in all his builds its been XS-power turbos, part of the deal with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running a 3.4 stroker which helps a bit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 what are the spool characteristics of the GT4202R? fair price for em cerca £1600 I have a blown one here I can get rebuilt so it'll be like new again, be a lot cheaper than £1600.

How much? Concern does run through me at the sound of the word 'blown'. Why did it let go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajazyasin Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Here is a GT45 on the bay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130287087656&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003 they are v-band by the looks of it.
