they are they exact numbers on the housing serial plateand yer they are so lagy what can i do to help with that got motor out of my 26 gtst and puting in to my new gtr shell.

What power will they support atw got ecu and stuff and im wanting to put e85 race fuel through it they look a nice bit bigger than the stock ones as i was conparing them next to each other

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

So if i buy a Garrett -5 ( GT2860R - 707160 - 5 ) What numbers will i see on the id tag?

It seems like that number the op stated is the chra number?

Can somebody help me with this tag number as it is not listed on Garrett site>

780371-5001

0.42 a/r comp

I would really like to know exactly whats numbers are on the id tags of -5,-7,-9

Pics???

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

-9s

with actuators

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2859R_707160_9.htm

without actuators

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:

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
