Best drop in turbo for the 617 with modified IP
Best drop in turbo for the 617 with modified IP
What turbo is "best" for a 617-95X that is drop in- IE same T3 inlet and can be used as a daily driver on a car that has modified it's IP in some form? This basically rules out any VNT/VGT.

A myna pump with an IC is worthy of a "better" turbo than stock.

These are probably a better fit if it's a T3 setup - GT30R. Again with ball bearings... Which I am a fan of it for quicker spooling in lue of a VNT.

If your going to spend Garrett money, those master power R series turbos looked pretty damn good. First one in the compressor map link looks great for a 617

You might get a better results without it and going back to a stock direct setup. But I do think a bigger turbo without with a different IC would be better.I have no smoke issues now that the timing is set to 19 degrees. There is less power, but nearly zero smoke. That tells me I need to move the timing closer to the 24 little by little and the magic number would be different for each turbo I believe. Remember I'm looking for a daily driver turbo- these "R" s units look good. For that money I might have someone build me a VGT setup as I do not have the time to design. build and install one.

To the 617 engine that my friend has in his Land Rover, a brand new Garret GTX2867R is ordered. It´s not on the market yet, a new product that is pressuretested up to 2,5 bar. We calculate 2,2 bar for app 250 hp.
The pump is for the moment 6 mm, 90cc, if it dont is enough I build a new pump.
I come back when we have installet the beast.
The beast is right! I wanna see!
I'm finishing up the rebuild of my 617a and it will soon find it's way back into my gwagen, I haven't run it yet but I have my MW pump with Tomnik's 6.5mm elements installed. The plan is to run a VGT/VNT at some point but for now I am looking for a conventional turbo to run. The G wagen has 6.17 : 1 gears and 37" tires so I am more focused on bottom end than top end as it revs out quickly anyway, that being said I need a turbo that won't turn into a heat pump at the top end. The GT30R as suggested here looks promising but what configuration and AR should I be looking for ( T3 inlet, AR ? , internal waste gate ? , exhaust outlet V-band etc..? ) It looks like the cosworth housing might work well T3 inlet and the outlet looks close to the 3 bolt outlet on my stock K26 but no internal waste gate ?
looking for some input
thanks
Someone else should chime in to be sure. But I really like the map on this GT3071R turbo for your application.

Ideally for faster spolling for lower RPMs, you'll need to have the turbine a/r .63 or lower. Some of these vendors that sell GT30R' with a .48 a/r like the one I posted earlier would be great for you, but at the higher end, it will choke. That particular turbo is a GT3076R, which would not spool faster then the GT3071R, has an advantage of having a anti-surge housing for running higher boost. In any case I still like the GT3071R for the pump you have. Now if the GT2871R can be had in a T3, (it is a T25 turbo) it might be a better lower RPM choice.
