Wtf Turbos Are These

[adam Foster]

they have .6ar front housing and on serial plate has numbers 466089-new gt25 t3 bb AG 0104j

are they any good make 290kw at rear wheels in a rb26 rwd

[Moodles2]

most likely -5's as -7s and -9s have 0.42 AR front housings, they will make 290kw at 14 or so psi in a very laggy way. -7s and -9s are a better choice for that power target.

[Don Dada]

Youre missin a number after the dash

[adam Foster]

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.

[adam Foster]

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

[Moodles2]

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?

SOME PICS

They are old garrett turbo's, Obsolete now.

If you measure the compressor size we can give you a better idea of power ability.

[discopotato03]

If you post all the numbers on the ID plate they can be identified - if unmolested .

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

[R31Nismoid]

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

[Don Dada]

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

[Moodles2]

-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).

[Don Dada]

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 ......so i guess that means i will be paying -7 price

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.

The S is explained, I wouldnt be pairing an S and non-S

[Don Dada]

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
