GT45F turbo - has anyone tried this turbo on a DMax

[jpowel29]

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with running this turbo:

The GT45F NON-DBB is now avialable. The unit is built on the GT42 chassis like the current GT45. Its available in both T4 and T6 housings. The turbine wheel is an 11 blade LDP (Low Drive Pressure) design instead of the current 12 blade turbine. Its an 87mm, so its a very nice upgrade for the GT42 owners that have the current 82mm turbine wheel that are choking up top. The compressor wheels available are, 70mm billet, 74,76mm, and 78mm. The new LDP turbine coupled with the 78mm compressor wheel will yield an output of 111lbs/min.



Units start at $1699 for GT45F

02bigstrokin is using a non-bb gt45 in his twin set, dont know if it is a F model but it spools fast and is really loud

That is similar to what I'm running on my truck. Mine is ball bearing with about a 81mm inducer and 108mm exducer...

Who is making these units? They are not listed on garretts site.

 

[Dan@PPE]

My guess would be Forced Inductions.
