turbo wheels?
Does anyone still make upgrade turbo compressor wheels anymore? Im sure I remember seeing them a few years ago but can't find anything now.

I believe it was LIPD that was doing them a while ago but I think now you end up just having to buy a modded turbo. I don't recall anyone who is offereing them anymore. I could be wrong but that is what I recall.

Beans did.

Is there anyone out there still doing it?
|
I saw a post on another forum and give industrial injection a call and see what they say. They would be the only ones I know of that might still do it without sending the turbo in.

why don't you just call a turbo shop and get a wheel from a GT40 i'm almost positive they bolt right up, they are based on the same frame as the GT37. The GT40's have 3 different compressor wheels with exducers of 88, 94 and 102. You will also need the compressor housing to match the wheel. The other thing you might consider is getting a exhaust turbine wheel from an 03 it is larger than 04-07 and it will whistle like an 03

I bought w used 03 turbo cheap and am going to send it out to be rebuilt. I figured if I am going to do that I midas well see if I can't upgreade the compressor wheel too.

Has anyone ever machined the exhaust housing of a 04 to accept a 03 wheel?
|
i havent, but it could be done
|
what about an exhaust housing off of a gt40. Pretty much you need to turn your gt37 into a gt40vgt. all you keep from the gt37 is the vgt center section, they both have the same frame just like the gt42 and gt45 do
|
you cant use the turbine housing because the vanes are built into the stock one. i dont think the housings mount the same either. a gt4088 comp wheel and compressor housing / backing plate will work but good luck finding those parts, garrett only wants to sell them in bulk.

Also I’m currently working on making a 04 exhaust housing work with a 03 wheel. It is more involved than I thought. Those pins don't just fall out:bang. I'm contemplating having them edm'ed out or just machining them out. Not sure yet. |
Im glad the direction this thread has taken everyone. I have not ever thought about bulding a turbo just buying one from a vendor. The information swapped here is great. I have learned a lot as I hope other have too. Thanks everyone! :Cheer:
