BF6 Member 333 Member For: 14y 1m 18d Gender: Male Posted 23/01/14 08:58 PM Share Posted 23/01/14 08:58 PM Hey boys and girls was wondering if anyone could tell me if the front compressor housing that comes out on the GTX3582r is the same housing as on the older GT3582r but with only the 'anti surge' feature? I noticed that the GTX compressor wheel inducer size is 62.45 where the GT3582r has a smaller wheel inducer of 61.36?Why I ask is because I was thinking of doing the simple mod of putting the bigger .70 housing on my 35/40 as I have a GTX front cover just laying around and my turbo needs to come off anyways. So my question really is do I have to use the GT version on my turbo or will the GTX cover be fine? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a GTX cover will not sit close enough to the stock wheel having a negitive effect Are u sure its a GTX cover u have or is it a 0.7 cover with the 3inch inlet suited to stock wheel/core ?

I'm not talking about fitting a GTX core to my stock .50 cover or anything like that and the GT3582r(.70) has a 4" intake like the GTX .70 cover. I know many people have put the .70 with the 4" on the stock 35/40 even Christains nizpro car ran this a some stage...maybe even a 9sec pass. My spare front housing is def a GTX and have been told by a few people that the GT3582r and the GTX3582r housing are the same except the GTX has the anti surge.

That's why I asked because I thought there would be to much clearance between the blades and inside housing....therefore making it not a worth while exercise. Might have to get the verniers out and do some measuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
