Nah GT2560-9s... the -7s are more like N1s

+1 for that. the -9 seems to be very similar to the GT-SS in power and response etc.

The -7s are definitely the N1 turbos. -5s more like HKS2530s...

Check out this link: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tbroom/Turbos.htm. Some very good info on there.

However, apparently the -9s don't come with actuators which have to be purchased separately.

Apparently Garrett don't sell many of them, mainly selling -5s and -7s to GTR owners (Possibly because of the common misconception that the -7s are GT-SS equivalents on top of not having the actuators?).

When I asked overseas the answer came back that the 707160-9 turbo was what HKS sell as a GTR spec GTSS .

Just recently Garrett updated there web page to show two "GT2859R" turbo variants , the first being the 707160-9 and the second I think the same one but with actuators provided .

If you look at their web page it shows the same 446179-65 cartridge used in both so I suppose we assume they are the same turbo .

do you mean this : http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_739548_9.htm

I would be more looking at this one: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...9R_707160_9.htm

They are supposed to be a splitting image of the R34 GTR turbos, so worst comes to worst you can use the stock actuators on them.

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
