    Real-world dyno validation of the Garrett G-XRace GXR47-80 turbocharger tested by Bruno Massel on a 3.0L 2JZ engine producing 1,512 rear wheel horsepower at 55 PSI boost

    Real World Validation of the GXR47 Platform

    Independent dyno testing of the Garrett GXR47 platform, conducted by Bruno Massel using a GXR47-80 configuration, demonstrates the airflow and performance capability of the GXR47 turbo architecture. Tested on a proven championship-winning platform, the GXR47 represents a measurable step forward in turbocharger performance under real racing conditions.

    The Car Behind the Data

    This testing was performed on a 2010 Chevy Cobalt Pro Stock chassis built to meet NHRA specifications and competing in NHRA Comp Eliminator. Originally developed as a Pro Stock car, the program evolved by pushing beyond traditional combinations. The team first ran a turbocharged Chevy Ecotec engine before transitioning to a turbocharged 2JZ platform, a move that resulted in two additional NHRA World Championships in 2021 and 2023. Today, the car is powered by a 3.0L 2JZ and utilizes Garrett turbochargers and intercooling, paired with a Bruno drive and 5-speed Lenco transmission. This is not a theoretical setup. It is a proven race car that has delivered results at the highest level of competition.

    Why Garrett

    According to Bruno Massel Racing, turbocharger selection is driven heavily by class rules and real-world performance requirements. Spool time is critical, especially in a category where nitrous assistance is not allowed. The ability to generate boost quickly and efficiently directly impacts performance on track. In their words, Garrett turbochargers spool faster than anything they have tested and are capable of producing more boost with less backpressure. That combination delivers both performance and confidence when pushing the limits of the car.

    Dyno Performance Results

    During testing, the GXR47-80 produced: 1,512 rear wheel horsepower at 55 psi of boost. This was achieved with approximately 10 percent converter slip, indicating the system was not fully coupled during the pull. According to Bruno, the GXR47 delivered approximately 150 more rear wheel horsepower than the previous G47 combination, with additional power still available. Testing was stopped early due to an injector failure, but the data clearly showed a meaningful performance gain.

    Performance Improvement Over G47

    According to Bruno Massel, the GXR47 delivered approximately 150 more rear wheel horsepower than the previous G47 combination, with additional power still available. Testing was stopped early due to an injector failure, but the data clearly showed a measurable increase in performance. The previous G47 combination produced 49 psi of boost at the track. The GXR47 achieved 55 psi on the dyno with additional boost still available. On this setup, each additional pound of boost corresponds to roughly 25 horsepower.

    Backpressure to Boost Ratio

    54 psi backpressure to 55 psi boost. This near one to one relationship highlights strong turbine efficiency under load.

    Built for Restricted Racing Classes

    Class rules limited the mechanical setup, placing greater emphasis on turbocharger efficiency, spool, and usable power without relying on nitrous or extreme boost levels. G-XRace is designed for class-specific drag racing where restrictions are placed on the compressor inducer and exducer. Garrett has engineered and manufactured turbochargers in this product line to maximize horsepower for these rule sets. G-XRace turbochargers feature a split blade design that maximizes pressure ratio and flow capability which is where drag racing engines need boost pressure and flow to support their horsepower targets to stay competitive.

    Garrett G-XRace GXR47 turbocharger engineered for high horsepower drag racing applications

    Track Performance and Proven Results

    Before transitioning to the GXR platform, the car had already demonstrated elite performance, running as quick as 6.49 seconds at 209 mph in the quarter mile.

    Following Garrett turbocharger development and continued optimization, performance improved to 6.35 seconds at 213 mph, reinforcing gains in both power and efficiency.

    The team has achieved:

    • 4 NHRA World Championships
    • 6 divisional championships
    • The only turbocharged car to win in this category in over 40 years

    This level of success validates not just the turbocharger, but the entire system working together under competitive pressure.

    Key Takeaways

    • Increased airflow capability compared to the previous generation
    • Improved turbine efficiency under high load
    • Faster spool in restricted racing environments
    • Stronger top-end power and overall pull
    • Increased driver confidence when pushing the car

    Conclusion

    The GXR47 turbo platform represents a significant advancement in airflow, efficiency, and power capability for competitive drag racing. This is not theoretical performance. It is validated on a championship-winning car, under real racing constraints, by a team that expects results. There is more performance left in the combination. The data already proves that.

    Looking Ahead. The team is transitioning from twin G35-900 turbochargers to a single GXR47 configuration for the 2026 season. With the season beginning in May, expectations are clear. The goal is not incremental improvement. It is to exceed previous performance benchmarks and continue winning at the highest level.

    Disclaimer

    Testing results shown were achieved using the Garrett GXR47-80 configuration. Performance of other GXR47 variants, including the GXR47-76, GXR47-88 will vary depending on compressor selection, engine combination, calibration strategy, fuel, and vehicle setup.

    The post Garrett G-Series II G40-1250 CHRA Upgrade Unlocks 170 WHP on S58 BMW M3 appeared first on Garrett Motion.

    When Boost Is No Longer the Answer

    For high-horsepower BMW S58 builds, the limiting factor is no longer the engine. It is airflow. That was the case with this 2023 BMW M3 CS (G80) owned by Mike Angelo and built by Prayoonto Racing. The combination was already producing over 1000 horsepower, but the turbocharger had reached its limit.

    Building a 1000 WHP Street S58

    The goal from the start was clear. Build a street-capable S58 that could reliably produce 1000 horsepower. Prayoonto Racing developed a fully built engine and transmission package including upgraded pistons, rods, camshafts, and valvetrain components. The drivetrain was reinforced with a Dodson-upgraded 8HP-76 transmission, and the car runs on E85 fuel with twin Garrett GVW-40 wastegates for precise boost control.

    The original turbocharger setup featured a Garrett G40-1150 G-Series turbocharger, which delivered 1023 horsepower and 847 lb-ft of torque. For most builds, that would mark the finish line. For this one, it became the starting point for the next phase.

    The Limitation: Pressure Without Headroom

    After initial street driving, the target shifted from 1000 WHP to 1200 WHP. The challenge was not tuning or supporting hardware. The limitation was airflow. The existing G40-1150 was already operating at 45 psi. According to Prayoonto Racing, pushing beyond that level on the S58 platform introduces the risk of head lift. Increasing boost further was not a viable or safe solution. This created a clear constraint. The combination needed more airflow, not more pressure.

     

    The Solution: G-Series II CHRA Upgrade

    Instead of redesigning the entire turbo system, the team upgraded the core of the turbocharger. The setup was converted from a G40-1150 G-Series configuration to a G40-1250 G-Series II using a CHRA swap. This approach delivered three critical advantages:

    • Direct interchangeability with the existing turbine and compressor housings
    • No fabrication or system redesign required
    • Increased compressor flow capability at the same operating conditions

    The G-Series II compressor aero supports up to 10 percent higher flow at peak pressure ratio and turbo speed compared to the previous generation. For a combination already at its boost limit, this provided the additional airflow required to move beyond the previous performance ceiling

    .

    The Results: 170 WHP Gain at the Same Boost

    With no changes to the engine, fuel system, or boost level, the upgraded configuration produced 1192 horsepower and 1029 lb-ft of torque at 45 psi. This represents a gain of 170 wheel horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque from a single component upgrade. The improvement was not limited to peak output. Power increased consistently beyond 4000 rpm, demonstrating the impact of improved compressor efficiency and airflow capacity across the usable powerband.

    What This Means for S58 and High-Output Builds

    This result highlights a key principle in high-performance turbo systems. When boost limits are reached, additional power must come from airflow and efficiency rather than increased pressure. The G-Series II upgrade path allows builders to unlock additional performance without reworking the entire turbo system. By maintaining the existing turbo architecture and upgrading the core, builders can reduce cost, complexity, and downtime while achieving meaningful performance gains.

    G-Series II Turbocharger Lineup

    The Garrett G-Series II lineup spans a wide range of frame sizes, providing a scalable upgrade path for performance builds:

    G25-585 48mm
    G25-700 54mm
    G30-725 54mm
    G30-825 58mm

    Chris Forsberg’s Twin Turbo Strategy Shows Why Smaller Can Be Faster

    Moving to a smaller turbocharger frame size might sound counterintuitive in a professional drift car. In Chris Forsberg’s case, it delivered a clear competitive advantage.

    His Formula Drift Nissan Z transitioned from twin Garrett G30-660 turbochargers to twin Garrett G-Series II G25 turbochargers. The goal was not to reduce peak power, but to improve response, control, and consistency during competition.

    In drifting, the ability to recover boost quickly and deliver precise throttle control is more valuable than maximum peak output. This change reflects a shift toward performance characteristics that directly impact results on track.

    Platform / Chassis

    • Nissan Z Formula Drift competition car based on the 2023 Nissan Z

    Engine

    • Boost Logic built Nissan VR38DETT
    • 3.8L billet crank based setup with upgraded fueling and valvetrain
    • Previous turbo setup: twin Garrett G30-660 54mm
    • Current turbo setup: twin Garrett G-Series II G25-700 54mm

    The Key Change: G30-660 to G-Series II G25-585

    Moving from a G30-660 frame turbocharger to a G25-585 frame turbocharger typically suggests a tradeoff in top-end performance. However, advancements in compressor aerodynamics and efficiency allow the G-Series II platform to deliver improved response without sacrificing usable power.

    The updated configuration improves low-end response and boost recovery, which are critical in a drifting environment where the car is constantly transitioning between throttle inputs.

    Bottom Line

    Chris Forsberg’s turbocharger strategy highlights how modern turbo technology allows for smarter performance decisions. Instead of selecting a larger frame for peak numbers, the focus shifts to response, control, and consistency.

    In Formula Drift, those characteristics define competitive performance. In this case, going smaller delivered a faster, more controllable, and more effective setup.
