Identify This Turbo ?

[B-Man]

Has a Front housing with AR 60

M27 is written on the front housing too

Obviously it's a Garrett

That's all the info I have -

no offence mate, but it looks like a big piece of shit truck turbo that doesn't belong anywhere near a RB25.

Would come on boost at about 8,000rpm

No offense taken - but do you know what it is for sure ??

well, you need to give me the CHRA number on the little place that sits on the core. I could look on my garret spreadsheet.

But as I said, the compressor is f**king massive, its nearly as big as that CD. Meaning its big, heavy and needs a lot of exhaust gas - from a big 7l diesel to spool it. It looks like its only meant to do low RPM, like 90,000 rpm, maybe less. Most Petrol turbos spin at up to 150,000 rpm, because they are smaller and lighter.

Its just simply way ig in size, thats how I come to my comclusion. Trust me, it would be a complete waste of time installing on a RB25.

I've already asked the seller if there is a number on the chra - I could have identified it myself if I had that ;-)

Also - I think the CD is clser to the floor - near the exhaust housing , so the comparison might look a bit out - as the Compressor housing is closer to the camera than the CD

looks like one of those brand new secondhand rusted ebay models
