I have the Garret EVRT turbo nearly completely torn apart...took apart my spare

I'll post a BUNCH of pictures here in a day or two, as soon as I get my camera back...so keep your eyes peeled.

This thing is both complex and simple at the same time...I'll discuss more as soon as I get the pictures, just thought I would go ahead and post

 

That will be really neat to see. Just curious, what kind of camera are you using?

 

So who is going to be the first one to ask... why he has a spare

 

OK, why do you have a spare?

 

Because he likes to test them to extreme...boy are we the only ones on FTE tonight...way slow night

 

they are a strong turbo as PSD has pointed out when he melted his engine. cant wait for the twin turbo 6.3 with 600 hp stock.

 

Yeah, I have to say I don't like the inefficiencies associated with the vanes restricting airflow, but those vanes also reduce turbo lag, so its a trade off, but there are other ways to reduce turbo lag, so why not have a normal turbo, so you can have more power...

 

Because then there would be wastegates, relief valves, and other stuff.

 

Yeah I think it was a pretty clean trade-off, very little lost boost less parts and they really have reduced the lag by maintaining boost at low engine speeds. I also remember PSD 60L saying that he had noticed trans. slippage while running the "propane and water". From that I can see that he is certainly pushing the envelope to see how much these engines can take and then just how much the accessory components can handle, so I understand why he has a "spare" turbo just waiting for it's turn to roast. Nice to see someone else pushing theirs so I will know in the future what I can and can't do to mine. PSD, thanks for the great info., can't wait to see these pics, Mat.

 

OK, why do you have a spare.... there I asked.

Was I the first?

Dam, day late and $2.00 short (inflation - up from $1.00)

 

The "spare" is off the toasted engine (but for the most part totally undamaged).

I will get the pictures in here soon....very busy few days

 

What is this? 6.3 twin turbo???

 

Promises promises… meet you type in the city

 

I know I have promised pictures and you will get them

I just have to get my camera back from my Dad, I can't take pictures of anything right now

Just thought I would keep it updated...

 

Now your just post padding
