Hi All,

Bought a turbo ages ago, and I can't really remember what it is!

Was hoping someone may be able to help in identifying it!

It's a Garret turbo.

I recall it being a T4 core, something about a Sierra wheel (can't remember front or rear though!).

Rear housing says A/R 116, then DH6GA2, then M1.

Nothing on the front of the compressor cover, some random digits in the back all the way around in pairs.

Here are some pics:

Appreciate any advice anyone''s able to offer!

Thanks,

Justin.

Yeah I thought rotor when I saw it too.

No part numbers on the centre cartridge?

+1 on the measure of wheel size. Get your verniers out and then it can be identified. Even if it's got hybrid components, it can still be estimated for power output and approximate specs.

Looks like a TA45 but unsure on the turbine inlet whether it's TA or T4. Need to measure centre of hole to centre of hole on the flange.

It looks like it has a V band flange welded on the back as well as having four dump flange bolt holes as well .

Note the compressor backplate is iron instead of aluminium so it could be from the T04S 60-1 family and modded .

Not a 60-1 compressor (409535-1) because they are 7/14 bladed , maybe T04R or TA 45 compressor on big shaft T04 turbine shaft .

Caliper measurements needed , A .

Thanks for the advice guys. I shoulda been a bit more careful with the piece of paper containing the info!!

I'll borrow a set of verniers and get some measurements.

If its a hybrid (which is seems it is), only way is to measure the wheels.

1.16 housing - its probably off a rotor with a housing like that

I do recall it being a hybrid, T4 seems to ring a bell, but it's definitely bigger than your average T3/T4 hybrid.

1.16 housing - it's actually off an aftermarket turbo'd 4l Falcon - plenty of exhaust flow there!

Only markings I can find on the centre cartridge are a Y on the top, A on the bottom, and 4.5 on one of the sides.

Yep, V band flange.

Again, thanks for all the advice so far guys, much appreciated!

The XR6 turbo doesnt even run a rear housing that large, and will make over 350rwkw on a factory turbo... and its FAR from a 1.16!

My bet is the butchers turbo you have above wont get close to that marker anyhow... so with a housing that large...

... I maintain its rotor only application

No worries, thanks for your advice.

It has run 325rwkw at 20psi, through an auto with a 3000 stall - so 350 at the treads at the same boost in a manual would be a comparable figure.

But with less response than a GT35 that comes factory on the XR6-t... and GT35 will make more power!

Is definately not a win-win situation...

And im skeptical of dyno results at the best of times when people are selling stuff.

Yep, agree 100%

Definitely not ideal with that size rear housing but oh well!

As for the results, yeah I'm a sceptic too, but I saw the sheets and the rest of the hardware myself, and it all seems pretty genuine.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
