G Series II Expands Into Mid Frame Power

Six new mid frame turbochargers engineered for extreme airflow, elevated pressure ratios, and serious horsepower.

Garrett Motion has officially expanded its next generation G Series II performance turbocharger line, adding six new mid frame turbos to complement the G25, G30, and G35 models. The latest additions are designed for high horsepower, high pressure applications where efficiency and airflow matter.

New Mid Frame Models

New additions to the lineup:

G40 1000
G40 1250
G42 1325C
G42 1325
G42 1585
G45 1610

With upgraded center housing rotating assemblies (CHRA) and advanced compressor aero, G Series II delivers up to 10 percent more compressor flow compared to Gen I at peak pressure ratio and turbo speed. This unlocks measurable horsepower potential with proper tuning.

The Power of Legends. The Durability of Champions.

For more than 40 years, Garrett has powered legends of motorsport from endurance racing to top tier competition, including Le Mans winners across the last 25 consecutive years. Behind that track record is a global engineering team of over 1,300 experts across five R and D centers, ensuring every product delivers performance and reliability.

G Series II brings that same motorsport DNA to kit makers, fabricators, and high performance vehicle owners, offering a universal turbo solution engineered to match the most demanding builds.

G Series II overview

Engineering Advancements

While G Series II turbos retain the same compressor and turbine housings as Gen I, the gains come from a redesigned CHRA.

Up to 10 percent higher flow
New compressor aero expands airflow capability versus Gen I at peak pressure ratio and turbo RPM.
Higher efficiency at high flow rates
More horsepower headroom where modern high output builds operate.
Direct CHRA upgrade path
Swap the CHRA and keep existing housings. Helpful when fabrication is already complete.
Stainless turbine housings to 1050 C
Built for high heat environments and sustained load.
Water fittings included
Supports flexible installation approaches across different builds.

Direct Upgrade Path from Gen I

A CHRA swap transforms existing Gen I units into their Series II counterparts.

Gen I G Series II
G40 900 G40 1000
G40 1150 G40 1250
G42 1200 G42 1325
G42 1200C G42 1325C
G42 1450 G42 1585
G45 1475 G45 1610

Summary: Substantially more flow at the right boundary with higher peak pressure ratio for extreme builds.

How to Read These Maps

How to read compressor maps
Quick Reference
  • Axes: X is mass flow (lb per min). Y is pressure ratio.
  • Efficiency islands: the center region represents highest efficiency.
  • Turbo speed lines: tighter spacing near the right edge indicates overspeed risk.
  • Rule of thumb: about 10 to 11 flywheel hp per 1 lb per min of airflow.
Boundaries to Watch
  • Surge line: unstable flow region. A bypass or BOV can help avoid surge conditions.
  • Choke line: rapid efficiency drop and overspeed risk. If operating here, consider a larger compressor.
  • Max speed: do not exceed maximum turbo speed.
Pressure ratio formula

Why These Gains Matter

The new CHRA aero increases compressor efficiency where modern high output builds operate: elevated pressure ratios, extended RPM, and sustained pulls where charge air temperature control is critical. The result is more power potential for the same boost, or the same power with less heat and less effort. Both outcomes support durability and repeatability.

Designed for Builders and Enthusiasts

Whether you are developing a new turbo kit or upgrading an existing high performance build, the G Series II line now spans from G25 through G45 and covers a wide spectrum of power levels.
