![]() ![]() Have an on-engine durability of 1,000 hours.Garrett engineers are dedicated to developing and building the most up-to-date technology in the aftermarket performance parts industry.Īs one of the few turbocharging manufacturers in the world that put their products through several OE qualification tests, Garrett is a brand you can trust to deliver safe and reliable turbos for OE applications. This brand remains ahead of the curve by employing engineering teams all over the world. Aside from removing emissions components (catalytic converters) and possibly intake, Nissan/Infiniti has damn near squeezed everything out of these turbos as possible.Garrett is a trusted world class Honeywell brand that manufactures superior-quality turbocharging systems and components. That said, we’re certainly looking at a platform without a lot of “out of the box” room for improvement. They’ve set this thing up to run these turbos up as much as they can, with safety and control functions so the ECU can very carefully monitor and protect the turbos and engine. ![]() ![]() You have direct injection, electric wastegate actuators, the RPM speed sensor, and twin coolant pumps for the water-to-air-intercoolers. ![]() When you take a step back and look at the complete package, it becomes pretty clear that Infiniti is basically trying to run this engine as efficiently as possible. This is what Garrett started doing with GTX turbos, so it’s nice to see this technology make its way to smaller, OEM turbos.Īlso, just above the compressor wheel you’ll see the compressor wheel speed sensor so the ECU can monitor that as well. This makes it a hair lighter, and also increases the blade surface area without increasing overall diameter. Sure it’s tiny, but more importantly it’s billet. There are two points of interest here:įirst, check out that compressor wheel. Chances are this is a failsafe to prevent the car from building boost should something go wrong, and the ECU snaps them closed when the car is powered on.įinally, here’s the front of the turbo. And it’s difficult to see, but the wastegate flapper’s resting position is open. I also find it somewhat interesting that the “bracket” for the actuators is basically cast into the compressor housing. These give the ECU a lot more control over the boost level, which is one of the things that allows the RS to push these turbos to their limit. ![]()
