Garrett Turbo

Greedy Pirate asked:


which one would win? My friend has the Metro and I have the GNX. The Geo Metro is stock and the GNX has headers, 3in exhaust, bigger injectors, performance torque converter, and a 25psi large Garrett turbo.
I forgot, the Geo Metro has a cold air intake and under drive pulleys.
A lot of car guys have a really poor sense of humor. If I know what a Buick GNX is, do you think I’d be asking this as a serious question?

Hey fellow gearheads and petrolheads, I need some technical advice for an original story I’m writing, which involves a lot of cars. At one point in the story, the Main character swaps a VTEC engine into her Caterham SV (still deciding between the Honda S2000′s F20C, the Civic’s B16-B18 and the Integra’s B20, which one would be most sensible for such a light car?) and then goes the extra mile by twincharging it with a Roots-type Supercharger with Electromagnetic clutch and a Garrett ball-bearing Turbo. I know that turbos, on their own, need a spin-down period after a hard run. What about superchargers? In fact, would the entire twincharging system need a spin-down period?

DoubleA asked:


I just tested for boost leaks, and found one comming out of the Turbine housing. I can’t pressurize the system to over 9psi using a big air compressor. The boost is leaking through the bearing housing and hissing out through the turbine wheel. Now what I really want to know is, what might be wrong with this turbo charger, if anything.
And would it be cheaper to try to fix it or replace the whole turbo?

My 1997 Ford Escort has a SPI2000 SOHC 2.0. I was wondering what would be a safe amount of boost when turbo’ing the engine. Info/kits are difficult to find so this is a project to do myself.

I do happen to have a Garrett TD05H 16G turbocharger in good working order. If this is up to the task, I will use it. Otherwise, I will find something more fitting. I also have a compact intercooler that will fit well and have already cut exhaust flanges to match the turbo I currently have.

The TD05H 16G’s standard wastegate supposedly allows for pressures up to 14 PSI, but, from my reading, 10 PSI is more accurate. Changing the wastegate can allow for much higher boost out of this particular turbo.

Also, suggestions for what kind of BOV to use would be greatly appreciated.
I see a lot of “get a different car” and “that car sucks”. I won’t argue, it does. However, that’s not the question. This is the car that will be worked with. It’s a project of mine. I want some opinions about how to “properly” turbo the thing.

Create a video blog…instantly.
