GTX4508R Super Core Turbocharger

The Garrett GTX4508R Super Core represents a significant upgrade for performance-oriented vehicles, engineered to deliver substantial power gains. This turbocharger utilizes advanced GT-X technology, including a CNC-milled compressor wheel with revised blade geometry for enhanced pressure and airflow capabilities. Central to its performance is the dual ceramic ball bearing system, which ensures quicker spool times and increased longevity compared to traditional journal bearing turbos. The unit is both oil and water-cooled, providing robust thermal management critical for high-stress applications. It comes as a "Super Core," meaning it includes the compressor housing but requires a separate turbine housing, which can be an existing GT4508R housing or a separately purchased option. With a rated performance capacity between 700 and 1250 horsepower, the GTX4508R is suitable for heavily modified engines with displacements ranging from 2.0 to 8.0 liters. The compressor specifications include a 79.8mm inlet, 108.0mm outlet, a 55 trim, and a 0.69 A/R, contributing to its high-flow characteristics. The turbine side features an 87.0mm diameter with an 85 trim. As a "Super Core," this turbocharger requires specific attention to turbine housing selection to match engine characteristics and desired performance goals. For those seeking a complete turbocharger unit, options with integrated turbine housings are available. It is recommended to consult with a specialist to ensure proper integration and optimal performance.
