Hi all,

 

I have just bought the Gt28rs turbo's for my new engine.

 

I have been advised the following off another site has anyone heard of this before??

 

they are brilliant turbos for their size, i love mine.

 

make sure you use the water cooling though. the GT series garrett turbos have a smaller than normal oil shaft so rely more on water cooling than oil cooling. i have heard stories of people just using the oil cooling and got away with it. but its simple enough to rig up the water cooling so may as well fit it. i just T'd into the heater pipes on my car.... makes for a toastie warm heater too

 

Cheers

i thought the standard turbos on a zed were water AND oil cooled anyway??

Yes they are - just re-use the stock lines :)

god im good... ;)

god im good... ;)

 

I've told you before - DON'T call me that in public!!! :rant: :rofl: ;)

bwhahaah, btw to deviate from the topic, does your msn work??!

Yep, on now :) Been way too busy recently lol

nah mines dead thats all wont sign in... ;-(

would'nt that make your heaters stink

why would it make the heater stink??

 

Not water and oil mixed together, two seperate cooling circuits!

Plus even if they did mix, the coolant passes through the matrix and is kept completely seperate from the air - otherwise you'd be losing coolant all the time....

Yes they are - just re-use the stock lines :)

 

Ok thanx guys:)

 

The bloke who gave me the info is running the gt28rs on his 106 gti and goes like shiiit off a stick lol

usually u can get away without using the water supply on aftermarket turbo conversions normally low boost 6-7 psi but not in a zed lol

I had the Gt28 RSR on my coop and it was a fantastic turbo. kick in at around 2.8k and held perfect boost all the way to red line. Fantastic :hyper:
