Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 7m 27d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 03/03/15 12:07 PM Share Posted 03/03/15 12:07 PM All I know is the GTX is a complete engineered high performance turbo - not a hybrid. To put a new wheel on a GT that's done decent k's already is just asking for trouble imo and at $1000 for that, not a viable option.His new one at $1200 is still a bored out job in a .50 cover with 3" front and no anti-surge. It's just not enough of a gap to not go out of the box brand new GTX with full warranty. I paid $175 more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero experience with ceramic bb in turbo's but in RC racing It's the sh!t for engines and chassis use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they have less rolling resistance and a higher tolerance to heat. One would assume these benefits would be far more significant in a turbo than a farken bike wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 9m Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 05/03/15 01:22 AM Share Posted 05/03/15 01:22 AM This is another one of those situations where I am preeeety sure I read this somewhere some years ago regarding garrett using steel bearings.Please don't quote this (maybe the google boy could do some research to verify if I did infact read it or is this another case of my stupid brain making sh*t up).Garrett use steel coz cheaper to manufacture and when the bearing pack fails, you bought a new pack - and whatever else is needed - and rebuilt your turbo.........thus securing a 'spare parts' sale.This practice was preferred coz testing showed less problems occurred with ceramic. Again ------ please don't quote coz I could be wrongDown side is that when Biz and I bought our GTX..76's, Paul at MTQ told us that Garrett no longer do the bearing pack as a spare part for these turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I not reading your response correctly? Quality ceramic bearings were superior over steel in my RC engine. They took abuse that would see the steel pack it in and I believe because of the heat properties of both where the steel with high engine temps and lack of lubrication caused the bb cage to destroy itself the ceramic would just keep on going until an engine part have in... Sleeve, conrod or crank! Anyhow... Back to the GTX3576r and a group but mofos!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
