Hey guys wanted to post some pics of the 1000 b.c. covers we just finished. This is our mid frame compressor cover made from 6061 billet. The wheel sizes we are using range from 58mm to 72mm.
Why did we make a billet cover?
After 18 years of designing Turbochargers and being in the performance industry, I noticed that all the Turbo companies were basically copying each other's Turbo components. Most of the performance housings and wheels started off as an OEM Garrett part.... Everyone was fishing out of the same pond.
Our Engineering expertise allows us to take a fresh approach to performance Turbocharger design.
Instead of machining a pre-existing cast housing for a wheel, we are able to design our housings around performance Billet wheels. We all know how much Billet wheels have changed over the years, and the covers they are in have not kept up with that technology. We also have noticed significant gains in surface texturing and volute shape.
We are not stopping with just the compressor housing. We are revamping the whole Turbocharger as you know it. Turbine housings, Wheels, and Bearing systems will all be getting updated....
Designing parts to be a cast has certain limitations and doesn't always allow the freedoms needed in order to design the best performing part.

 

Congrats.Its very refreshing seeing new innovation in this forum. Will you guys do any reverse rotational compressor wheels? Any reason why compressor cover wasn't design with anti surge?

Any possibility of active veins within the compressor cover like the one Porsche is using...I think the call it variable turbo .....?

 

We do have reverse rotational compressor wheels. Seeing as we are making these from billet, the handcuffs have been removed and we are not forced to follow the "norm" that everyone else is doing. We have the freedom to do what we (or you) want!

Good question on the anti-surge! The Compressor Cover you are seeing is not fully assembled. The Diffuser handles the Anti-surge.

and finally, active veins.... YES! we are in product development on many very cool and exciting technologies( not going to give all of our secrets away quite yet) that will be changing the Turbocharger world!

 

Very interesting. Im in to see some final products. What timeline before we see them out for sale?

 

These units are made to order.
We have 5 that are in production right now from 58-72mm.
We will have more test data over the next 6 weeks, and at that time they will be available.

Being built to order we need to know what you guys want!
Turn around on these is typically 6 weeks - Being custom designed and made for your specific application!

 

Look like you guys need a little pencil line finishing .

Pretty rad, CNC **** keeps me up those long hours!

 

Yes, thanks!

We are going to do another run on finishing cut, its just one of those things that is so bad *** I had to take some pictures and get them out for you guys to see some!

 

So is there a sheet that takes application specific needs and formulates the best combination of wheels etc ..

 

It is a very dynamic situation that changes often with technology. We rely on Daniel's knowledge and real world experience to remain on the "Bleeding Edge" of this.

You are more than welcome to call and speak with Daniel at any time. He would be glad to answer any questions for you or help you to the best of his ability.

That's not a billet turbo That's a cover. As you may know, the compressor cover is the more simple shape in a turbo. I'll be more interested in how you make a billet hot side or center section.

There's no complete billet turbo shown anywhere on your website, but the website says that your custom turbos start at $12,500 each and you have to order 4 or more. Seems a little out of the price window for Evo owners...

As far as billet wheels go, anyone with a Renishaw probe can reverse engineer any wheel that they can get an original of. That's happened before on billet wheels in Evolution fit turbos. What's different about your wheel than the ones out there now?

 

Thanks for your input! Yes, that is a Billet Compressor Cover (pretty cool huh). The other components such as the Turbine Housing and such are in the works for this Turbocharger build out we are doing.

On the Turbocharger Development page you got your pricing, that is an accurate price....... For high end race teams, not for your average Turbocharger enthusiast.
That package includes a little bit more than just the hardware itself.

We are currently in the design faze on the wheels, and I believe I stated earlier that this is not a completed build, I just could not keep myself from posting pictures of the Compressor Cover seeing as I think a lot of people will enjoy seeing what we are working on.

As we complete our build out on this Turbocharger I will keep feeding all of you pictures and information on availability for these!

As I looked back at the topic line I do see that it says Billet Turbocharger, that was a typo and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me as there have been some very late nights for quite some time in development and manufacturing!

Thanks again for your input!

Ben

211ratsbud, Just inbox me what you are thinking. I dont much care for talking prices in the open forum as every build out and situation is different

 

Is this a case of ''extreme tuners'' all over again with a understandable English language?

12K for turbo's?

 

The 12k each is for cars like promods or extreme 10.5 cars making 4k hp. It actually says that on the page. The 12k each is priced the same as the other high end promod units.....


Our performance dual ball bearing units that would go on a car like a EVO, come with our billet cover, billet comp wheel and a stainless turbine housing with either vband or t3 inlet in the low 2k range.
