gt17, how small are they?
 
anyone familiar with the Garrett gt17 turbo? max cfm, psi, etc?

turbotim used two tiny turbos for his TT setup. Might have been 17s actually. Try a search for his setup, might shed some light.

we would have loved a gt17 for that project! haha (btw the t25 DID spool, but only after we bypassed the governer.. and when it did it pulled like hell)
ON TOPIC:
yes they are stupidly small turbos

they came stock on the Saab 9-5, so they can't be that small guys.

I have seen a turbo on those cars, the size of my hand MAYBE. Its way too small for anyhting useful.

well, I would just swap it in for auto-X days and I have a bigger t3 for more power.

would love to see a video

lawnmower is awsome, more details and pics and videos of the lawnmower. How much boost? Was it still carburated?

UrbanSoot 02-05-2008 12:20 AM

damn... does it get more redneck then this?!



i want one.

hahaha that lawnmower is pretty sick. I like the pipe threaded exhaust manifold :) What did you do for an oil pressure source?

I used two GT1544's on my TT setup, which is being replaced with two GT1548's. The original build thread on that setup was deleted by Philip. I have one good GT1544 left if anyone wants to attempt to turbo their lawn mower :)

Braineack 02-05-2008 09:00 AM

yay, from 15 lb/min to 20 lb/min!!!!

messiahx 02-05-2008 09:29 AM
