Garrett GTX5533R Super Core 91mm Inducer Gen II

This is the Garrett GTX5533R Gen II Super Core, a 91mm inducer turbocharger assembly designed for high-performance applications where maximum airflow and power are the primary goals. It's built around Garrett's advanced aerodynamics and internal components, offering a robust foundation for custom turbo builds. The Gen II designation signifies updated technology for improved efficiency and response compared to previous generations.

The GTX5533R features a 91mm compressor inducer and a 106mm exducer, paired with a 106mm turbine exducer. This configuration is optimized for moving large volumes of air, making it suitable for powerful engines in drag racing, time attack, or other extreme performance environments. The 'Super Core' designation means it comes as a complete center housing rotating assembly (CHRA) with compressor and turbine housings, ready to be integrated into a custom manifold and piping setup. The turbine housing is typically a V-band inlet and outlet, offering flexibility in exhaust routing. This unit utilizes a dual ball bearing cartridge for improved durability and quicker spool-up compared to journal bearing turbos.

When building a custom turbo system with a unit like the GTX5533R, careful consideration must be given to engine displacement, desired power output, and the supporting modifications needed. This includes fuel system upgrades, engine management tuning, and robust exhaust and intake plumbing. The V-band turbine housing allows for easier clocking and alignment with custom exhaust manifolds. Remember, this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
