Summary
VD-G350 Red with its Billet aluminium 2618 Vortex 2 compressor and G59 Turbine provides low-end grunt, high torque and power with great reliability. The VD-G350 Red Wheel turbo has a higher flow high-efficiency compressor wheel, a 30% larger high flow turbine wheel, upgraded thrust bearings, 30% stronger main shaft, higher flow VNT system and a marine grade stainless vacuum boost controller replacing the aluminized mild steel actuator that is quickly deteriorated by salt that causes premature failures.
Key design improvements set the GTurbo VDJ70 turbo solutions in a class of their own including;
– GTurbos custom designed NextGEN VNT control system allowing perfect boost control with 250% improvement in control hysteresis.
– one-piece bearing housing with larger bearing and 300% stronger faceplate allowing higher boost and resistance to flexing and vibration
– high-performance thrust bearing, 150% stronger
– gapless turbine and compressor seals for improved oil control
– leading technology aerodynamics in the compressor and turbine design
– Stainless steel (316L) VNT control actuator with breather port
– Turbine housing upgrade including ~62mm outlet (standard is 49mm), thicker flange at exhaust manifold feed for improved sealing
• Design boost is 33psi, and can be operated efficiently via ECU control from 16 – 35psi (at <40C turbo intake air temperature, >95kPa turbo intake air pressure)
• 30psi is typically available from 1750rpm if the tune and setup are complimentary.
• Accurate tuning is essential for reliability, efficiency and performance
Performance Expectations
Standard the VDJ 70 series produces 430nm of engine torque and 100-120rwkw. With a VD-G350 Red Wheel turbo combined with our custom remap, you can expect around 900nm of engine torque and 190wkw to 220rwkw. Installations with a large intercooler, 3” exhaust, GTurbo Powerpipe intake pipe, and upgraded injectors have yielded results as high as 280rwkw (typical 260wkW) and torque over 1100nm at the crankshaft. An upgraded clutch is mandatory.
Supporting Modifications
Common supporting modifications include; exhaust upgrade, lift pump, upgraded air filter and induction plumbing, replacement turbo intake pipe (GTurbo Power Pipe), +95% GTurbo high flow injectors. Call us to discuss what are the best items to upgrade to deliver you the best result for your dollar.
– 1 Year Warranty on all products.
– Turbos are to be supplied on an exchange basis. Additional costs are required for tuning and installation.
