NEW Garrett GBC22-300/350: Ultra-high response S15 turbo killer?

[Pain]

Anyone know if SR20 fan clutch/water pump studs fit the KA?

Exactly. You would go with this turbo if you wanted that OEM drive-ability but just enhanced, and didn’t want to fork over the cash for a GTX2860 Gen II or G25-550.

Picked up a 22-350. going to be popping it on a s14 sr20de with MHG/studs, 740's and flex fuel. Will report back when there are numbers.

Please do! My friends over at Whalen?s Speed just ran one on a Can-Am and it made 340hp at the hubs on race gas (expected to make 360 on ethanol). So we know the compressor works as intended. It?ll just be a matter of which wheel hits it?s limit on a two liter first.

For sure! Sounds promising. I figured it would just be a spicier s15 turbo.
I'm looking for 300wheel with good response, so it made sense. Are they running them with the internal gates? No issues to report with being able to bleed enough exhaust?

Hopefully the internal gate works well and as intended. Got into a facebook fight a few months ago about this. Saying because Garrett engineers designed it that they work perfect in every application. And that Jimmy Oakes' video documenting the issue he was having on his turbo NA SR, or the years of forum miata forum posts wasn't enough supporting data. That was enough internet for me that day.

Tbh I think the internal gates on the borg turbos are just in a better location. Which helps with creep etc. I'm a big EFR fan even though they typically do not make the most power for their size, but when it comes to drivability its the ticket.

They are, but they?re also 900cc three cylinders that rev to 9000rpm, so a little different haha.
