hybrid gt2559v

[eliasuk98]

anyone know of the possibility of hybriding a gt2559v and if some decent airflow figures can be gained?

Add bigger comp-wheel?

 

[eliasuk98]

i suppose that would be a start, ive contacted turbo dynamics, just waiting for their reply

 

[eliasuk98]

turbo dynamics got back to me saying they have no upgrade for this turbo and are unable to do anything... any sugestions guys?

Would help to know what turbo you actually have. The smallest compressor in that family that I know of has 42mm inducer and the largest is around 5mm more.

 

[eliasuk98]

the turbo i have is the one i stated, gt2559v of the renault espace 3.0dci, acording to a company called turbo solutions, this turbo has a 60mm compressor wheel, not sure if thats totally accurate but i guess it wont be too far off

I have the same turbocharger off the renault scenic 3.0dCI and compared with a BV50 there is not much difference in the compressor wheels but the compressor housing is much much bigger on the Garrett. I also have a friend with the GTB2260vk and as i said there is not much difference between them 3 turbochargers. The gt2559v looks like it could have a bigger compressor fitted as there's a lot of meat left on the housing but what wheel to fit ? Also, is there anyone who could balance s the turbo afterwards ?

Wheel dimensions isn't the whole truth. You need also notice the wheel profile. GTB2260vk is the best turbo you can buy for <400hp.

I know that phisical size isnt everything but from people in the know the gt2559v spools a little later but there is not much difference in the top end compared with the gtb2260... To be honest the gt2559 is more suited to bigger engines (2.5 tdi minimum) as the 1.9 does not generate enough airflow to get it spooling quick enough. Compared with the BV50 there isnt much difference but as you said, with the right tune the gtb2260 is the best turbo there is.

it's a pia to install a gtb2260vk on a v6 ,but the good thing is that the turbo is lagless even with standard nozzles

 

[diffas]

If you are able to find 3.0tdi exhaust manifold collector you can use it on 2.5tdi v6 directly.

 

[im570rm]

i don't know about the 3.0 tdi collector,the problem is that you have to modify the colector make it like 3-4cm taller,unless you wanna bend fuel pipes =)

Does the one with the 42mm inducer suck? I have that one and want to put it on an idi. Will it be a brick?
