Default GT3037 compressor

What size is the wheel on the GT3037R?
I looked on the Garrett site but all they list are the GT3071R and GT3076R.

On the Full Race site they list the GT3037 as GT3037/GT3076/GT3040.
Are the 3037 and 3076 the same?

Very similar, but the Exducer on the compressor wheel is SLIGHTLY different. GT3037 76mm, GT3076 76.2mm

I asked this very same question to TheShodan a few hours ago.

Im wondering how much difference the .2mm makes.

They ARE the same! 3037 is just HKS's gay name for their version of the 3076.
http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=1671 76.2mm

Just like the GT3040 is really a GT3082 and a GT3540R is really a GT3582R. They are just confusing names that some ppl use.

The fact of the matter is that both the Garrett GT30R (GT3076R unit number 700382-12) and the HKS GT3037 56 trim use the same Garrett 700177-0007 cartridge or CHRA . HKS also market its GT3037 with 48 and 56 trim compressors though I don't think anyones sighted the 48T version so far . For the record the GT3037 52T's cartridge number is 700177-0006 , its supposed to spool ~ 500rpm earlier that the 56T GT30R/GT3076R/GT3037 and be good for ~ 400 at the treads . Its been said that the 56T compressor pushes it closer to 500 naturally with larger a/r turbine housings .

The following is from a HKS catalog :
GT3037 48T 76.2 x 52.8 GT37 compressor , (.61 a/r GT30 turbine housing) 420 PS.
GT3037 52T 76.2 x 55.0 GT37 compressor , (.73 a/r GT30 turbine housing) 440 PS.
GT3037 56T 76.2 x 57.0 GT37 compressor , (.87 a/r GT30 turbine housing) 470 PS

Also note the 52T version usually wears a .50 a/r TO4E comp cover where the 56T version has a .60 a/r port shrouded cover .

Tis my firm belief that HKS's spool and respond better than their Garrett cousins generally because they use slightly smaller trim versions of the same size/family compressor . The fact that they often use port shrouded compressor covers probably helps as well . Also my opinion that many of HKS's own turbine housings suit the higher exhaust temp petrol engine environment better . Its been said that they also may have a slightly better volute and nozzle section that Garretts diesel housings . This is not to lay the boot into Garrett but I think they are after volume sales and the Diesel market is where thats at .

Cheers A .
