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:

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By RA708 · Posted

      Exactly how each part works and how they all work together to make the engine function. That's all I'd need to do a basic build. Maybe how forced induction works. I probably need to learn some of the maths behind it all as well.
