Considering you can buy NEW Garretts for $1300ea give/take, and putting in steel wheels (with a rebuilt core) is going to cost you nearly $1000 for a proper ball bearing job...

You might as well buy the slightly larger Garretts (the -9's are the ones you want).

They give response virtually as factory, yet will make an extra 40-60rwkw ontop of factory items. (peak around 330rwkw, as opposed to around 280 with steel wheels)

have you got the number for "rotomaster"

Hopefully getting steel wheels installed cost less than $2K closer to $1,5K,

if not i will get Garrett probably -7 cause the -9 i will have to folk out more money for actuators and their relatively the similar

thanks for the info guys

weighing up the cost of a rebuild plus steel wheel ($1600-$1800) also the down time, i don't reckon it worth it

compared to getting brand new Garrett -7

Looks like im getting Garrett -7

just thinking about it makes me excited

Well we can upgrade steel wheels for $660 per turbo including Garrett 360 degrees thrust bearing kit installed and balanced. Or $880 high flowed to sleeve bearing -5 spec.

Ball bearing -5 is $1250 per turbo brand new with actuator. -7 is $1320 per turbo Brand new with actuator. We don't currently stock -9s but will be able to supply them are a very reasonable price.

Also working with a 15 ~ 20 years old engine, I don't really find BB turbos are that reliable unless you run in line filters through them. 60% of total amount of turbos came in for overhauls are ball bearing turbos, and the age of them are also lot younger.

Garrett BB CHRAs got 2x 20thou pin hole for oil feeding, once they are blocked your turbo is dead. This is a problem, I think this is some thing Garrett needs to think about in their coming designs.

sounds interesting!! mite get steel wheel

why does -7 cost more than -5, when -5 are the larger turbo?

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...rison_sheet.htm

do you have address of your shop cause your site doesn't have it.

how much can a steel wheel be boosted, how much power do you think i'll be looking at?

Hey mate, I have steel wheeled turbos with 360 degree thrust bearings in my GTR at the moment cost me around $1200 all up, running 17psi and 287RWKW and I think thats about as far as you can safely boost them and keep them in the efficiency range. To tell you the truth I regret for not getting new Garrett's like R31Nismoid suggested for the price they cost. They just seem to take forever to spool, its much laggier than stock and die of in the high RPM range, and they cant make any more power than this. Just spend a little extra and get Garrett's and be done with it, trust me you wont save much by going the steel wheel way, I'm saying this because now I want to upgrade and have to go through all the shit to get them off again and spend much more than what I would have if I got Garrett's straight away and its not fun mate. I also think -9 are the way to go and they are the ones I'll be getting in the future.

Cheers

^ Great feedback mate, exactly what people "theorise" about, but to hear that you personally feel a solid different is very much worth noting.

If you are just doing steel wheel's they should almost be identical in spool though.

Juan, -5's should be more expensive by around $50ea. Could be out of date pricing.

Always get a quote locally and go from there. Plenty of SAU traders doing solid pricing on Garrett Turbos.

looked onto the garrett website http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/

Noticed they have two type of "-9"

this one has the name GT2859

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...9R_707160_9.htm

This one as the name GT2860

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_739548_9.htm

Both of them are "-9", which one are you referring to R31Nismoid.

the first one doesn't come with an actuator,

whilst the second does come with an actuator.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
