Drag Race GTX4502R, 49 Trim, 71.8 Inducer, 102.3 Exducer – Garrett P/N: 800269-10

The GTX4502R Drag Race turbo is purpose-built for competitors racing in classes that cap compressor wheel size at 72mm, giving teams a way to stay within the rulebook without sacrificing the ball bearing performance Garrett’s GTX platform is known for. This is a compressor-side solution for racers who already have or plan to source a GT45 series turbine housing separately, making it a targeted upgrade rather than a complete drop-in unit. Built for serious class racing, it’s designed for teams who need documented, class-legal wheel dimensions backed by Garrett engineering.

Performance & Application

This GTX4502R variant is engineered specifically for drag race classes that restrict compressor wheel size to 72mm, giving competitors a legal path to GTX-level performance within those limits. The turbo ships without a turbine housing, so it’s intended for racers who will pair it with a compatible turbine housing to complete the build. Its ball bearing architecture is aligned with Garrett’s race-focused GTX-R lineup, positioning it for teams chasing consistent, repeatable performance on the strip within strict class rules.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Turbine side mates to any GT45 series turbine housing
• Compressor housing style matches the GT42
• Externally interchangeable with an existing GT42 turbo setup

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a ball bearing or journal bearing turbo?

The GTX4502R uses a 360-degree thrust ball bearing.

Does this turbo come with a turbine housing?

No, the turbine housing is sold separately.

Will this work with my existing GT42 setup?

Yes, it uses the same compressor housing style as the GT42 and is externally interchangeable with an existing GT42 turbo setup.

What turbine housings are compatible with this turbo?

The turbine side will mate to any GT45 series turbine housing.

For class racers who need a documented 72mm-limited compressor wheel without giving up ball bearing performance, the GTX4502R (P/N 800269-10) delivers exactly the specs the rulebook demands.
