ETT stands for Extended Tip Technology. I'll leave you to search Google to find out what turbo's they are.

 

Ive had one for about a year, they make the Turbos used in the UK look totally outdated. Mark is well versed in them & was being updated on their tests against the Garratt range, it would have been on mine in 2008 but a suitable fitment for the YB was not available at the time. To coin a phrase used on here once, its the future of Cosworth tuning .

ps. If they dont work on a YB (mine will still probably be the first to try it) then all i have said above is total Shite !!!!!! .

 

Visited the car today on its return from paint, cant believe it looks so good, no more stickers or stripes & all battle scars gone. The bumper has been transformed if only Pete had e-mailed the pictures taken today as he said he would . I left the sprayer to detail the bonnet/bumper i thought i might not like it as his suggestions sounded naff, but hes the expert & it looks just right. Grills on both parts highlighted in Satin Black & with the aero-locks in Black its just right & sets it off .
Now too nice to race, its going on the show circuit & im forgetting all this Topspeed nonsense .
Its going back together next week, but i think it will take longer as Petes a finacky old bugger (ask James).
Not really interested in a finish date now, today i saw that all the development/waiting was worth it .

 

From the test's I've seen it all seems in favour of the BW's apart from the S256(?) against a GT30, saying that they didn't go over 2Bar

 

 

She's looking good Rod.

 

looking damn good there rod

 

Surely that turbo isn't big enough for 215mph?

 

lookin great! coming all together now cant get over the size of that turbo

 

My god ye, it's HUGE

 

Turbo looks sweet!

 

Looks awesome Rod

 

Small engine bay

Bumper looks good, Rod who modified it eventually

 

A guy that usually paints Classic cars for the trade, Pete put me on to him, that bumper took ages to get right, but it does look good .

 

This is awesome,fair play! cant wait to see this in the shows 2010,if i can get near it for a look! Most exciting cosworth around.

 

gtx4294r is definatly not so last year, 97 lb/min from that bad boy.

 

I think he is saying the ETT technology make it 15% more efficient than anything Garratt produce, nothing to do with Power they will both do that but the new Technology will spool it up much quicker.
I dont want more Power but spooling up 300/400rpm earlier would be nice .

 

 

Hurry up Rod i want my ride

 

Is there any actual data/specs on these ETT yet?

What i was thinking is if the gtx42 comp. has 97lb/min in it then with you not needing all that you could..... buy some spool efficiency with not having to drive it at full tilt? Maybe just a turbine wheel/housing change?? Surly garrett have combination to suite?

More info required please.

 

Car looks really good Rod, I can't wait to see it all finished .

 

looks greatcould have atleast spelt competitive right in the sig

 

The car does indeed look REALLY good.

Well done to everyone involved !

 

Im aware of that & your the second one to mention it .
I made a whole host of those sigs some time back & reel them out time to time must get it fixed & learn to sepll .

 

Alg1k has opened the floodgates on this we had hoped to get these Turbos tested without all the questions .
You are missing the point, the Garratt have less efficient blades its nothing to do with combinations. It will always outspool a BB Garratt even though journal bearings are used. The BB core tries to hide the Garratts rather out of date Wheel Technology. Im happy for everone else to plug on with the Garratt lads I really am .

 

He told me it was a right bitch to do cos of what had been done before lol.

 

Looks very nice

 

Oh right, i thought the gtxr's were Garretts version of BW's ETT. The spiel on t'interweb is that they flow more, spool quicker and are all in more efficient.
I'll wait for test results...... although are you going to entertain a Garrett "equivilent"?

 

Holy christ, the size of that turbo is almost as wide as the engine head. Serious stuff

Keep on going Rod, looks awesome!

 

Nice to see some pics old boy.

 

Looking good Rod
Do these new turbo's use billet wheels, i know a few of the American Porsche tuners have started to use them with brilliant results.

 

They are Garretts new billet wheel (not ETT) i believe at the mo only available in one size & priced over 3k, they were only introduced at Sema so im sure not yet tested in the real world. BW are also about to introduce a new billet series to out do these but much cheaper. Like everything, the world is moving on & will continue to do so, maybe you are the person to try this new billet range on a YB, ive done my part pushing boundaries why not push things on .
Remember some on here still use a T4 & think its acceptable, Noah had one of them on the ark .

 

lol theres nothing wrong with a good old t4 i love the way it comes on boost ps love your car rod

 

being tested on my new engine

 

isnt it about time you did a build thread on your Daz? fookin love your motor

 

i do love a good old t4 will be having one on my white saffy when i manage to get my hands on a nice one

 

sounds like your on the hunt already Jim

 

Dont think anyone would want to know about a cosworth powered dolomite with a revised engine position Sorry Rod wont clutter your thread anymore

 

I think you might be surprised

Saw a couple of videos on it on you tube and it seemed to go "ok"

Get a build thread up!!

What was old engine - short stroker revver like Karl's??

 

Sorry Rod
No my engine was standard capacity
My new engine is Special bit like me LOL
I may do a build thread as i have taken lots of pickys as i have gone along.
