Garrett / Hks Turbo

[TriniGT]

I have an old school turbo kit on an RB26DETT I am getting, thinking of updating the turbo same time with a Precision Billet Turbo of similar power in the same twin scroll fashion but want to know exactly what I have. It has a Garrett A/R 84 and an HKS Exhaust housing with either 0.80 or 0.90 stamped on it. What is the powerband and what model turbo is it? Engine is equipped with Sard 700CC injectors, N1 272 cams, Upgraded ITB's, HKS bottom mounted cast iron mani with a big HKS external gate to the top. The Downpipe is a huge 4" setup and the turbo even though old is pretty big. I am yet to have a proper look but it seems to have a bit of work done to it like extended sump, a 24U block etc. Can someone chime in as to what size turbo it may be and powerwise?

What is the ID tag on the turbo?

What are the sizes of the wheels?

Telling us the housing size doesn't say anything really yet

[TriniGT]

Have been looking for an Id Tag but nothing yet. Engine should be home by weekend so will take a better look will measure up the wheels as well. Sorry for the lack of info.

To identify you need to post the cartridge number. It is on a plate in the centre housing of the turbo.

I know where it is usually, if it was there I would have an idea already what it was. Will have a better look when the engine is home. Will let you all know what I uncover.

Probably a T04R or TA45.

I think they are a T45S, good for about 350rwkw, but heaps laggier than anything current.

TA45 rings a bell. Pretty sure that's what came with the rb26 kit.

Though the turbo could have been changed any time in the last 20 years as it's unlikely the one that originally came with the kit is still alive.

yer they did. and t04es with the rb20/25 kit

Okay got the turbo setup off and this is the tag to the back on the center cartridge, anyone know what power it can produce? Front wheel looks to be 60-62mm and the exh wheel is 65mm. Back housing is 0.90 and the comp housing is 84 A/R

441398 is a ta45. the 9113 is a mystery to me though, its obviously the variant but google doesnt have anything on it.

Yeah I have google and even check yahoo japan auction sites looking for something like it but no luck. Will do some more investigating.
