Garrett Power Max

How many pennies do you have to drop in the jar for one of these, are they comparable pricewise to HTB2?



Have heard good reports of the Ball Bearing GT series in othe trucks, did not know they had one for the cummins, the stage 2 & 3 sound okay.



I can't decipher compressor maps but can someone overlay the compressor map and compare it to say a HTB2 or a SPS 62?



Kevin

no problemo..... just send me a map for the HTB2, ans SPS62!!! :-laf

Here's some pics I have taken.

The Garrett is next to a Phat Shaft66

 

[Diesel Freak]

is that the stage 2 or stage 3 Garrett?

That wouldn't be very hard to fab up an adapter to an hx40 downpipe. If it is even needed. Sounded like the egts were down with this outlet.

I am interested in the installed pics too.

Is it just me or does the oil drain look different than the stock unit?

Does it come with a different drain fitting to drop into the hose? Or does the stock fitting actually work?


I did NOT need to see this Garrett-- it's beautiful and now I want it

 

[MDW]

Oops, thats stage 1

They brought by the stage 2 the other day.

Its very similar.

The oil drain hooks up the same, the oil feed has an adapter to accept the stock oil line. The last pic of the round hole is the coolant port.



Scott, can the stage 2 be upgraded to the stage 3???

looks like the stage 2 Garrett should run similar to a HTB2

OK. I was looking at the pic that shows the WG diaphragm, and it appeared that the flange was SLIGHTLY different than stock. But if it adapts easily to the stock return, then that's more better.

Where did you plumb in the water? I'd think you just tapped into the water lines right by the turbo that go to the heater core.

As for the 4 inch outlet, would THIS (page 10) work for the 4 inch outlet? I found it looking through the ATS catalog at home and thought it might work.

 

[TORQUE THIS]

COOL!!! Will have to call them and get the specs on itOo.

Hohn, I have a couple pics, if I e-mail them to you, can you post them??

The coolant line that runs from the heater core to the block behind the oil filter is removed. The rubber hose stays. A tube supplied by Garrett is used to pick up the hose from the heater core. It is attached to the turbo with a banjo fitting on the manifold side of the turbo. The airfilter side of the turbo also has a banjo fitting and line that runs under the turbo and makes a 90* bend to the front of the motor to the hose that is right behind the oil filter.

Sounds like a very comprehensive kit. It's nice to see something were ALL the details appear to be covered!

We are also signed with Power Max and have Turbos in stock. The first thing I noticed was a 3" Turbine outlet fitting. The comp. wheel is a little small but the Ceramic Ball Bearings should make it spool very well. We would love to see hp numbers if anyone has got that far yet. Thanks

While hard to read, this gives somewhat of a comparison between the HTB2 and the Garrett turbos.

[jerrethomas]

comparing the maps, how do the two turbos match up?
