Today I got an E-Mail from a tech guy at Garrett that has been making some sugestions to me on my Vette build. Today he says he can now tell me about the GTX Turbos some. They are going to introduce them at Sema and he said to wait for a bit if possible, as these would be the cats meow for my build. Here is part of the press release he sent me.
The next stage generation of Garrett turbochargers is here.
The Garrett GTX-R Turbochargers will be revealed at the 2009 SEMA Show both in the Garrett by Honeywell booth (#24733) and the SEMA New Products Showcase in the South Hall.
Garrett GTX-R Turbochargers feature:
- All-new, forged and fully-machined compressor wheels designed using the latest in aerodynamics derived from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques
- Greater than 10% more flow and over 10% higher pressure ratio capabilities than the standard Garrett GT lineup
- Dual ball bearing design for ultra-quick spool and unsurpassed thrust load capability
- Full interchangeability with the current Garrett GT turbocharger lineup for ease of upgradability
The new Garrett GTX4294R, GTX4202R and GTX4508R will be available at the end of 2009, but you can check out the next generation of Garrett Turbochargers at the SEMA Show booth #27433. Actual gas-stand compressor maps will be available to see the real advantages of the new Garrett GTX-R turbochargers.
He said that first of next week he would make sure to send me the compressor maps for them, and make a recommendation. He said it would be perfect match for me as he is sure that they would spool faster for my application, and build boost fast for me.
Just wondered what anyone else might have heard.
