The introduction of the Garrett GT Series of turbochargers
marks a new era in turbocharger design. GT turbochargers utilize
new manufacturing technologies and a modular approach to model
differentiation. For example, the numerous wheel sizes available
enhance the depth of the product line and increase the engine
matching capabilities of the GT Series turbochargers.
The GT product line includes a vast array of design options,
including numerous compressor trims and turbine sizes. High
and ultra high pressure ratio compressors incorporating boreless
and threaded bore compressor wheels that may be used to significantly
increase boost pressure without sacrificing durability. Turbocharger
efficiency and transient response are further improved with
the following options:
Other features of the GT Series turbochargers include 360†
water-cooled center housings, high capacity and low loss thrust
bearings.
Compact/Small-Frame
Turbochargers
This series of GT turbochargers are engineered for small
displacement engines between 45 hp and 225 hp with wide
speed ranges of operation. The GT12 through GT25 turbochargers
are designed primarily for gasoline and diesel passenger
car engines. Additional options beyond those shared with
all GT Series turbochargers include such features as integral
turbine housings and exhaust manifolds.
