and it is perfectly suited for them too 🙂
journal bearing sucks but the benefits of the varible turbine should outweigh any lag or wear on the bearing

yeah the VG turbos make a HUGE difference in spool time. could you imagine having most if not all of your boost avaliable by 2.5K

for gasoline it is…and for high output applications it is…
the coatings are awesome, my next set will have something similar…too bad they wont be variable.
i cant wait to see the new 911 turbo that this is going to be introduced on. i hate RR formats but i think it will be a keeper

No its not. Its old tech. Aerocharger made a variable geometry turbocharger years ago. We installed one on a Formula SAE car at UB on a 600cc Honda CBR motor with a F3 head.

They did I beleive with the very few experimental turbo motors. So it’s not new technology by any means. But at the same time it was too expensive/unreliable to be useful.

no, you were right the first time. THEY are new. no one has made that turbo with that wheel design before. the idea may be old, but this is not the same turbo as the old dodge ones.
its cool, hopefully they dont have any issues with them, and more companies will use this tech. like a gt35r with this … oh ho oh h ohoh … i have to go wipe off now.
