Is there another ball bearing Garrett GT turbo that is slightly larger than the GT35/40? (maybe with a T4 flange and turbine)

Thanks!

 

GT40. Hard to get though.



ATP Turbo Garrett GT Series

 

I've heard that the GT40 IS NOT Ball bearing as advertised... Is this true?

 

Interesting. Any word on pricing?

 

Something I have never understood, is why does everyone hate on the Gt series turbos and t3 manifolds, when a gt35/40 works pretty well for a street car.. I know the exhaust side is small in all, but damn it can't be that small...



Or is it just the gt 35/40 kits have big a/rs 1.15+ therefore its like a smaller a/r t4?

 

T3 is small. If never plan on boosting higher than 15 psi...get the gt35/40. Just pray that you don't blow your motor....or you'll be buying a very expensive turbo as well.

 

I just bought am A-spec 35/40 kit.

Jspecracer7, I guess your saying tha the rebuilt cartridge is pricey?

 

quite pricey. I can rebuild a standard T4 turbo for less than $150, not including exhaust blade. With exhaust blade, it'll cost proly around the $300~ area. This includes new front/rear CHRA bearings, rear oil seal, thrust bearing/collar ...I may be missing some other parts too, but that's not bad for $300.

 

BBs are much more expensive, but the spool up time is supposedly worth it. Is 15 psi the most efficient for the GT35/40? (I don't have the compressor map)

ATP sez they get in a couple ball bearing ones every few months, usually pre-sold for $1950.
