Turbonetics GT-K 550

[Roger161]

WD40 does miracles.

[xxnissansilviaxx]

wat did it cost?

[JenasBerni]

I have a VW Fox 89' With the GTK-350, it is normal to keep spinning after you turn the car off... the guy who made my engine said this

[evoryda]

@bobbitt187- first was mine second one was my buddy's, both NA to turbo, both turbod by me, now take YOUR bullshit callin ass elsewhere, heres mine... go to cardomain and search 3065957

[evoryda]

fuckin ipods, how do they work? * them a, not the a... * stop not so looking... * cars not car

[evoryda]

@Dert666- yea buddy, thats a little thing i call exaggeration, fuckin retards get on youtube and ask stupid questions, well I'll be the one to give the a retarded answer, youtube is not a place for common knowledge q's, go google or yahoo for that crap and so looking retarded.. ive turbo'd 2 car solely, what about you?.

[Rickey240]

That's kinda weird how it suddenly stops at the end.

[tienshenhan86]

@Rickey240 Yes it is, the first time I spun a turbo it was firmer and harder than I thought it would be(that's wut she said) and then it stops abruptly but it's just how they work. I would have thought it would slowly stop spinning and come to a slow halt, but the compressor is connected to the turbine so it's makes you think it's just the comp so it looks light like it shouldn't do that. Meh*shrugs*

[shmen04]

this is how a turbo should do ?

[hondasforlunch]

Nice

[TURBOPOE]

what the crap is a turbo?

[J1NB417741]

that was so peaceful to me

[evoryda]

no, they have to be specifically made for your VIN number, if you dont have the right VIN you cant have the turbo........ just how it works, hope you have the right one, good luck!!!

[Dert666]

@evoryda I dont even know where to begin with how wrong this is, vin # has nothing whatsoever to do with turbo applications. You can bolt ANY turbo up to ANY vehicle providing you can find or have the skills to fabricate a manifold and downpipe or o2 housing to work with it, allthough you would be better off getting a turbo that is already flanged for your type of car, ie: DSM, or nissan, etc. but If you have welding, and mechanicle skills your possibilitys are only limited to your knowledge

[bobbitt187]

@evoryda bull%*it!!!

[Slobodan488]

can this turbo charger go in any car? just the turbo not the turbo kit

[gregmiranda1]

try this clip: Powercruise Dyno Shootout GAS2JZ Goes Bang.0001wmv

[420witchdoctor]

Turbonetics really do make exceptionally good turbo kits.

[bobby21j]

such a good looking turbo.

[RELOADED0000]

energizer money

Is keeps goin

[dimos47ki7]

oooh sounds like a jet-engine shut down!!!! i would love to hear it every time i shut my car!!!

[590673]

the best turbo ever

[07roadster17]

NIce, mine goes for ever too

[buhrrito]

what do those little holes around the edge do?

[Guak2]

the holes r for limitations on surging and for max air into the compressor side of the turbo

[dimos47ki7]

@Guak2 dont forget the nice whistle they make when spooling :)

[Rachirure]

it just keeps going  :)

[RELOADED0000]

@Rachirure

energizer money

[chr1s88blue]

what r those holes for?

[massivebig1]

nice

[mys13isdirty]

I love the way those turbo's look but too expensive for me right now...

[qpzmak]

would this turbo be to big for my f22 accord ... its a 2.2l

[camaroSYChevelle]

@qpzmak haha thats bigger than this engine. but this turbo would gernade that engine. its not so much displacement but if ur askin that question uv got no reason to need something like this. to have this turbo and use it to the fullest ur engine is gona need to be built realy well. ur acoord will blow up like no ones bussiness.

[0spaceboy]

nice but there to much ill stick with garrett

[green98peon]

Ball bearing turbo FTW

[313foxbody420]

that is so sexy

[MrButterneo]

put your cock in there and feel the pleasure

[DugansGarage]

Actually you all are kind of wrong about the first turbo cars, your right about who released them and everything, but they were also very successful, they didn't have hardly any problems, but the Corvair Monza realeased by GM was bad about catching on fire because if im right they had fuel heaters and they were getting to hot and combusting catching the cars on fire, this is why you dont hear much about them. =)

[joemari2021]

no duh its ceramic ball bearings >.>

[PublicDefication]

put your finger in it.

go on.

[ChristewieTV]

@PublicDefication Thats what she said

[suprafan246]

whats the price for one of those?

[DiggaBua]

eBay: new about 1500$, used goog condition about 700-1000$

[2889joeracer]

sweet . what kind of car is that? whats the numbers?

[2253benjamin]

my holset hy35 journal bearing will spin that on shutdown!

[grim505]

tony is funny...looks like he just wikied turbocharges and whats to look smart by saying almost the exact same thing as the wiki page

[darkeyce02]

that turbo is cool looking..but does it really help?

[tony565565]

it doesnt matter what turbo he has, if it wasnt for saab/porsche/vw no one would know what a turbo is today. they invented it first.

[Timothayyy]

The first turbo in a factory car actually came from GM :)

The 1962 Cutlass and Corvair.

Turbos were invented by a Swiss man I think in around 1905?, and Early on they were mostly used in Diesels and airplanes. So no, saab/porsche/vw dident invent the Turbo

[tony565565]

what crack have you been smoking? the first turbine ever built was overseas. the first turbo ever built in a car was by porsche and another company like the swiss guy. the american turbo you are refering to is supercharge. there is no way america men invented the turbo first, its impossible, if they did they would be using it in almost every car. you honestly think the euros would buy a american patent turbo for there cars. dont make me laugh.

[Timothayyy]

Cant read? Porsche is hardly a mass production car company.

A swiss man invented the turbo, like I said.

The Cutlass and Corvair came with an optional turbo in 1962 and they were the first mass produced car with a turbo.

So there must be no way you can read, I said the Swiss inveneted it, lol.

[tony565565]

okay, i get the point dude, we all know swiss isnt american so that proves america got the ideah from the swiss man not porsche. gotcha. but america rod/lifter engine cant handle that boost amount already to much friction and heat. the newer ones can. i just choose to drive 1980s volvos, saabs, because there engine blocks are the same as train wheels and can handle mass pressure. but i assume any modified piston engine can be turboed even the old electric 225.

[FoXD3ff3nd3R]

"The first production turbocharged automobile engines came from General Motors in 1962. The A-body Oldsmobile Cutlass Jetfire and Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder were both fitted with turbochargers.[citation needed] Saab was the first manufacturer to have successfully applied a turbo to regular production cars. This was made possible by the introduction of a wastegate to relieve excess pressure"

[Timothayyy]

Like I said, a swiss invented it. GM tried it first in a production car, it wasent very successful, which is why you dont hear about a lot of american turbo cars from the 60s.

Never said anything to discredit Saab and there work at perfecting turbos for car applications. Just said GM was the first to put a turbo on a production car that anyone could buy.

[FoXD3ff3nd3R]

"The turbocharger was invented by Swiss engineer Alfred Büchi. His patent for a turbocharger was applied for use in 1905.[1] Diesel ships and locomotives with turbochargers began appearing in the 1920s"

1918 was the first time a turbo was used on a plane, it eliminated the loss of power from going too high

1938 was the first time a production version was released to the public on a diesel truck

[needtoinsert]

thats sweet!

[Theghost0]

veriniiize

[valewapl]

oq esses furinhos fazem?

[GBS863]

i think its for anti-surge

[nitrousboy0311]

Thats just how its designed

[overboostedlebaron]

blow off valve usually goes on the upper charge pipe

[waynej93]

any1 tell me where the blow off valve goes i no how it works and stuff im just not usre where it goes

[saintluke87]

between your butt cheeks and your undies. Its between the outlet of the turbo and the front of the throttle body. If you really know how it works, you know where it goes. Type blow off valve 101/info or whatever into google. Theres loads of info. Search for Turbo 101, gives you a run down on turbo's and how they work, which no doubt would have something written about blow off valves.

[MrGuvEuroman]

As close to the throttle body/Butterfly valve as possible to prevent turbo chatter or stalling. A good tip is instead of daft noisy Atmospheric Blow off valves. Redirect the BOV outlet back into the turbine inlet. So when yr shifting it'll keep the turbine spinning : D

[Z32spdstr]

yeah 300zx's have that its a recirclulating valve it re routes wasted exhaust from the turbo just like the blow off valve would release it and the engine has to build up exhaust pressure again so the turbo lags and takes a while to spool up

[unluckykid256932]

Wouldn't the air that is being recirculated already be compressed? That way the turbo can compress even more air.

If the above is true, then recirculating valve is the way to go.

[MrGuvEuroman]

Yep! People only put atmospheric dump valves on for the noise. No gain at all! when yr hitting 400bhp then u have to think about atmospheric valves. easiest way to describe is yr on full boost u snap the throttle shut the atmospheric dump lets all the boost away then u put yr foot down & it has to build up boost. recirculating u boost snap the throttle shut the excess boost is directed back into the inlet of the turbo which makes it spin so when u open up again it's all ready spinning : )

[corish1234]

What and also you think the impeller stops spinning when you let go of the revs? You have a point but you've only gone and exagerated it a little mate.

[MrGuvEuroman]

Just what i've learnt from tuning and racing cars. Cosworths are the worst because the dump valve is far away from the throttle body so you get massive turbo stall thats why they chatter : D

[blyndrotor]

The dump or BOV is to reduce compressor stall yes thats true BUT the return isnt to spin the compressor, its to reduce the stall so its still spinning hard already. It doesnt really have to build boost to much, lets face it the average gear chance is about 1/2-3/4 of a sec. The main reason, is that most returning vales are after the AFM so as not to cause a rich spike in the mixture. The pros & cons really depend on what type of AF metering system you are using.

Map no probs, AFM needs return

[triggadigga]

Whats that good for then?!

[terribleoneprimopro]

OMG the amount of retards leaving comments = head explosion.

I hope none of the people posting own a turbo car or anything with an internal combustion engine. Good grief fucking charlie brown get a clue!

[0neTurbo]

I KNOW these people make me want to choke a baby!

I hope this mother fucker has a turbo timer, because otherwise this thing is going to get COOOOOKED lol

[nitrousboy0311]

What are you talking about? he doesent need a turbo timer you dont know how long this car has been idleing and bb turbos take awhile to stop spinning when you shut the car off...

[libinls]

whats bb turbo?

[nitrousboy0311]

Ball bearing

[libinls]

whats the diffrence between a normal turbo and a ball bearing turbo? it runs the lil fan for longer?

[nitrousboy0311]

Ball bearing turbos spool faster google it

[heraldosaid]

these people that wait around for answers when google is just sitting there waiting for them on a different page to wake the fuck up. GOOGLE

[d0g0k]

lol

the idea of a turbo timer is to let the car idle and shut down automatically after bein driven so you dont need to wait around ... this was already idling... what other things would u like explaning my friend

[tpvalley]

does it keep boost for a time after u throttle off?

[bigturbodan]

No.

[tpvalley]

I guess u have blow off valve anyway?

[n0xAn]

ballbearing <3

[94jettameowpsst]

....its just an anti-surge ported housing....

DSM FTMFW!

[tpvalley]

How does the anti surge porting work?

[Blazinjayson]

is that a bb turbo journal bearing turbo... i like the black with the red turbonetics lettering....what is that on...

[bigturbodan]

Its on a 93 Eclipse GSX

[samfisherkiller]

Is this the turbo that allows you to have boost at almost any rpm?

[blyndrotor]

I don't think there is any such thing.

[cookiehead2]

No, I think only Porsche is using those. They're very expensive and require the ECU to control them.

[okaythxbai]

that thing gives additional air to turbine which make it more efficient and gives more power to engine then the air which is not burned in turbine get out of there by BOV. BOV makes that nice sound.. PSHHHHHHHHHHH! im not sure about it but i think it works like that

[SilverEclips03]

Lol, what?!......Air burned in the turbine? lol

[flyinpolak]

lol thats what i thought aswell

[flyinpolak]

kinda.... close enough lol

[dsmxtuner95]

or you could much better explain by saying....exhaust gasses coming from the engine go through a turbine that spins and that turbine is part of a shaft at which the other end has another turbine which pulls in air from the hole ur seeing in the vid. shoves it through a pipe coming out of the top of the "snail shell" and in2 the intake side of the motor..and the psh sound is made when the butterfly valve shuts the air has nowhere to go so the BOV relieves pressure on the charge pipe. good try tho

[xGundamz]

Can i use those on a regular skate and do street (Meaning taht i will be doing tricks and most of the time not landing them though)

[dolboyasher]

how dis work?D:

[madd1blu]

what are those crazy looking ports on the compressor inlet?

[pilotgod404]

surge machining. Helps deal with surge

[turbotorana]

These ports allows the turbo to gather spool speed gradually and not surge when there is a load change.

[93redcoupe]

Most normal ball or needle bearings wont take the high RPMs of a turbo, normally 100,000 or better. Thats why they use ceramics.

[cante199]

170000 this one

[unclesonnyonutube]

ok, check game...i know a little bit about turbos and exactly how they work but answer this for me!?

i swapped my skateboard bearings for full ceramic bearings because they are much faster. if you land a trick wrong you will break them but they fly like butter on glass.

would ceramic bearings last on a turbo or burn out quickly?

or am i dumb and thats what they use already!?

[dvote1914]

they use ceramic bearings already so there is less friction and they last longer than ur normal bearings but if u dont have the right size turbo and thrash it u can screw the bearing after a matter of time

[sovietspyguy]

The bearings in a turbocharger aren't subject to the same kind of impact issues as those in a skateboard. They are also manufactured better, but they can still fail from excessive speed or heat.

[unclesonnyonutube]

do you have to lube the bearings in a turbo?

is there a grease fitting or how does that work?

[bigturbodan]

You supply a pressured oil feed to the turbo that lubricates the bearings, then it drains with a large hose into the pan by gravity.

Also some turbo's use a coolant supply and return as well to help keep the CHRA cool.

[85montess100]

@bigturbodan and the coolant supply is just more shit to fuck up

[h23a1si]

man that is sexy!

[bnz500]

Thats one mean looking turbo

[DatsunMike]

thats a fucken sickass turbo..im already thinkin about upgrading my .60ar hybrid turbonetics for a GTK series turbo..oh yea..u believe all those stupid people???.."..your bearings are gonna wear out.."..freaken fucktards..

[fixitluis]

too all fellow turbo fans on a ball bearing turbo its ok for it to continue spinning even a minute after it stops because it is very low friction, thats why they spool up quicker then journal bearing turbos

[azkcr]

lol.. thats a cute turbo.... looks like something that would go on a lawn mower..

[b02857]

shutup its bigger than mine

[azkcr]

what kind of turbo u have? i upgraded the compressor wheel in mine.. and my turbos is the stock 6.0l on a 2006 ford.... which is still a HUGE turbo

[b02857]

^_^ i dont have one thats why... theres good power to be made from the lightweight 4bangers tho! dun need to be a huge turbo

[azkcr]

meh... rice burners.... my truck poops on them.. lol..

[lunchbox3904]

until you have to brake, turn, or regain control for whatever reason.......then physics poop on you lawl.

[azkcr]

u have clearly never seen the racing diesel trucks.. lol... but i dont race on roads and endanger ppls lives.. i go to the race track..... there is where the pooping begins (and if someone cuts me off in traffic or i dont like their car)

[lunchbox3904]

yea i have. the way they corner is almost humorous. a fully built truck would be eaten alive by a fully built car.....especially on a road race track. power only makes you fast in a straight line. less weight makes you faster in every aspect.

[ReneBMWM3Power]

wow, only idling and than it keeps spinning that long... those turbochargers must be worn pretty fast like that...

nice vid!

[ArktisFuchs]

I'm sorry, but I have to say this...

Turbonetics does weird shit with their machine work. The fact THAT turbo actually stopped spinning fairly quickly has just shown me why I always pick Forced Performance over any other shop out there...

[machaf]

LOL. You'll regret picking FP. Have fun replacing that turbo in a few months.

[ArktisFuchs]

I've had the same FP turbo on my car for 4 years, running 20psi, thank you.

Try maintaining your car so you don't screw your bearings/bushings up.

[nitrousboy0311]

....i hate how people bitch about oil its not even your turbo i wonder if you even have a turbo? i mean cmon its his car his turbo so plz stop bitching about him and oil

[copleygsxr]

turbo timer will solve many issues but if started car up let it run and shut it off it will be ok plus its prbl a duel ball bearing turbo

[atsernov]

WTH is everyone talking about? Can I assume all the people saying this will damage the turbo have never owned one or seen one with the intake plumbing off?

A) The car was at idle and then he turned it off. That's what you do, and that's what a turbo does when you do it (unless your turbo is shot).

B) It's not like there is no oil in the turbo. Sure there is no new supply of oil, but the residual oil is more than enough for the turbo to spool down without any damage.

[matthewchan]

does the faceplate make it whistle like a bitch at full throttle? i want one so bad ^_^

[howardsen666]

..nice turbo running without oil.. idiot

[trobi]

...it's a ball bearing turbo... idiot

[howardsen666]

and need no oil... okay !!!

[trobi]

No but they always spin for half a minute without problems.

[derrett250]

you should leave any engine running for a few seconds when you stop driving before you switch off to allow the turbo to spool and cool down

[solve18]

Let it all go for 2 min Before stoping it? :D

[chapmanmerchant]

my APS tsr70 Twinscoll lasts for about 20 sec longer then that. Just from idel cheers

[rhyanna04]

you guys make it sound as if the bearings go dry the second the engine is off

[mikedudley17]

ok.

[montecar87ss]

sounds like its on a tractor

[tophermonkey]

looks like a sweet turbo .

[bradhogan123]

nice turbo

[KrazyEra]

That's a nice turbo. GTK turbos look sharp and productive in performanc.

[oschdz69]

o wow watch it spin

[WillJPalmer]

Yea init lol

[PHIXI0N23]

watch it that can ruin your turbo doing that, has to have constant lubricant, if thats a ceramic turbine.

[Chavezxp]

he is just shutting off the car, hes not really doing anything. I dont think it would be any problem because there is no load on the turbo. If this wrecked turbos you would see many many more mysteriously dead turbos.

[bleachworthy]

Yeah, when you turn the engine off, the turbo only spins around 1k or slower, and since many turbos can reach hundreds of thousands of rpm's, this measly 15 seconds of slowing down will not damage the turbo in any way. now, if you ran it without oil pushing 25+ psi of boost for 15 seconds, you would probably see the lifetime shorten, and your warantee paperwork go up in flames, especially with a 1000 dollar turbo

[itschristorres8]

if you just make a run turn around and shut off. or if your always driving petal to the floor. wether you have journal, ball bearing, ceramic anything your bearings can get ruined like that.

and this video isnt nothing too special....my journal bearings to that

[itschristorres8]

scratch the ball bearings

[FuLLYSiCKBRo]

only if you scratch mine first!

[bleachworthy]

well, yeah, if you did it with no oil at all that would make sense, but there is enough residual oil left in the line to bleed into the turbo, preventing damage. it doesn't need much pressure to oil the bearings, only what gravity provides.

[Morpherex]

Idiot. 1 minute of casual/normal driving before shutting the motor off is just the same as letting a turbo timer sit for 1 minute.

[aaroncake]

All turbos have a spindown period and are designed to withstand this in normal operation. Journal bearing turbos may only spin for a few seconds while ball bearing turbos can spin for a minute (or more). Doing this does not harm the turbo in any way. The bearings are under no load.

[alpltd]

The holes are supposed to stop compression surge. "Anti Surge" they are called. Developed by HKS i think.

[SpliteR]

I see.. Thanks :)

[SpliteR]

Hey, does anyone of you know what the holes are for? It has been bothering me for a while.

[FLCLnaota]

sounds just like my sis's race car that spool down sounds so bad ass! hers is a gt35r.

[dietcoke3396]

nice lookin' turbo, runs smooth

[Krazieguy]

that was awesome. cant wait to get a turbo like that

[rednecksinspace]

thats gotta be great for stop signs, the turbo never stops!

[Jackasknissan]

hole fuck thats 21 seconds of spining after it was shut off, thats pretty long with out having any true lubrication, damn

[D16Turbo]

damn.really nice turbo.running a t66bb now.thinking about a gtk 550 or 650 on my b18 civic.

[ripmeup]

Fark me dead, that kept spinning really good.

[JXBatman]

LOL! sweet!

[ricciulino]

I want one for my car!!!

[Integrale16V1989]

They are f... expensive yet....
