Help Identifying A Turbo!

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.

      Meh. I "see" a typo above, that should have been "sell".

      The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.
