What is a 'Super Core' turbocharger assembly?

A super core is the central part of a turbocharger, containing the essential rotating assembly and housing for the compressor and turbine wheels. It does not include the external compressor outlet housing or the turbine inlet/outlet housings, which must be sourced separately or transferred from an existing compatible turbo.

What are the benefits of a dual ball bearing cartridge?

Dual ball bearings significantly reduce friction and heat compared to traditional journal bearings. This results in faster turbocharger spool-up, improved throttle response, and increased durability under high operating temperatures.

Can this turbocharger be used on any vehicle?

This super core is designed for custom engine builds and performance applications. While it can replace specific Garrett part numbers, its installation and compatibility depend heavily on the vehicle's existing turbo setup, the chosen compressor and turbine housings, and necessary supporting modifications like fuel and tuning.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Garrett GTX2860R Gen II Super Core, a high-performance turbocharger assembly designed for serious engine builds. It serves as a direct replacement for the Garrett 836040-5002S part number, offering an updated and improved option for those looking to enhance their vehicle's power output. This core assembly is the heart of a complete turbo system, providing the essential components for forced induction.

The GTX2860R Gen II features a 60mm compressor wheel with Garrett's advanced aerodynamics, aimed at improving airflow and boosting efficiency across a wider RPM range. It utilizes a dual ball bearing cartridge, which helps reduce friction and heat, leading to quicker spool-up times and improved durability compared to journal bearing turbos. The turbine housing is cast from stainless steel to handle high exhaust gas temperatures, and it's designed to bolt up to many existing Garrett turbine housings, simplifying installation for many custom applications. This super core is built for those who understand the intricacies of turbocharging and are looking for a well-built, reliable component to form the basis of their custom forced induction setup.

When building a turbo system around this super core, it's important to consider the supporting modifications needed. This includes proper fuel system upgrades, engine management tuning, and an appropriate exhaust manifold and downpipe to match the turbo's flange. Because this is a super core, it does not include the compressor outlet housing or the turbine inlet/outlet housings; these must be sourced separately or transferred from a compatible existing unit. Please note that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
