What is billet turbo




















To get this reduction we have made the wheel thinner, by machining the nose and hub. We have also gained a larger surface area for the blade to pump more air. The billet wheel has a 4. This results in the size of each blade being 2.

If we look at a Garrett compressor wheel, it has a 4. We find the 60 trim wheel coming in at 0. This wheel is starting to look good indeed Lighter than the original, stronger than the original, larger flow than the original, in fact more flow that the larger 60 trim wheel!

More Efficiency Billet construction allows aluminum compressor fins to be much thinner than a cast steel alloy wheel, less blade thickness make a greater efficiency range, the more efficient a wheel is the lower the intake temperature. In lower volume turbochargers such as these GT55Rs, choosing a machined wheel reduces the cost per wheel compared to a casting, and allows the turbos to be brought to market rapidly.

For either of these turbos, a cast aluminum wheel using the same dimensions and blade designs would have performed equivalently in most aftermarket applications. In fact, cast compressor wheels are used in the vast majority of the 9 million turbos that are designed, tested and produced each year by Honeywell Turbo Technologies' turbo engineers world-wide.

Billet compressor wheels are available for many popular turbochargers. One place to start is amazon to see what is available for your application. We here at enginebasics. Want to know more about your particular Make and Model vehicle?
