Can't say for certain which turbo they are without pictures, it can be any of these (but GT25 housing and 0.6 compressor AR narrows it down to -5's or -10s): http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tbroom/Turbos.htm

707160 - 5

Or similar. The numbers are exactly as they appear.

I dont think i have any pics of my -9s or -5s, but the numbers were the same either way

There are a couple extra as well. Some other code no doubt

Ok so let me get this straight.....

-9 will have> 707160 - 9 on the tag

-1 will have> 780371 - 1 on the tag

-5 will have> 707160 - 5 on the tag

-7 will have> 707160 - 7 on the tag

So why does that turbo (780371-5001) have four numbers after the dash??......isnt it supposed to be a standard labeling? WTF is it ? as it doesnt match anything on the list

-9s is what you need to refer to them as, a long time -9s only came without actuators (which the others came with), it was only recently garrett decided to start offering actuators so came 780371-1.

the 500 bit is added by garrett dealers, I know my -9s were referred to as 707160-0009 by the dealer (pretty im sure thats what my id tag said also, that or 0009 was 5009).

So that turbo (780371-5001) is 101% a -9 but with actuators right?.....its just the 5001 part is strange to me as most do not refer to it as that, but instead just the last digit, -1

Well guess what...I asked the Garrett dist. here to get either the 707160 - 9 or the 780371 - 1 for me.... he told me those units were on back order from garrett and all he had in stock was one -7

So i decided to give him a visit and have a look at the unit and low and behold on the id tag was 780371-5001.....It didnt click to me immediately either because as i said the 500 part confused me somewhat but he still claims it is a -7 :O......so i guess that means i will be paying -7 price :banana:

Anyway he says he will be able to get a next unit like that for me but quoted me the same number but with a "S" on the end ( 780371-5001S ).....

Will this be the same exact unit even though it has the S at the end of the number???.... the one he has now doesnt have the S.

Yea...i read that too, but i dont see the "S" on any part number beside the GT2860RS on their web site

I really dont like the idea of pairing them either, but if they are indeed two seperate units that means now there is a unit out there that is esentially a -9 but is capable of flowing a little more :ph34r:

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
