Hey guys,

I really would like to know what are the Garrett equivalent of the HKS GT-SS turbo's?

I have researched for a bit to find many mixed results that they could be either the -7's or -9's

based on the source. However, from my understanding the -7's are actually closer to the

N1 turbo's off the R34 GTR's.

Also, does anyone which is suppose to output more power between the -7 and -9's?

Thank you.

GTSS is EXACTLY the same as -9. It's the same part without a pretty badge. This information is in just about every thread started on this topic since SAU started.

For the rest, use the search button. It's been covered so many times, in great detail. There won't be a single question you can think of that hasn't been answered already on those turbos.

There's a 300kw GTR thread, 400kw thread, RB26 dyno results thread, 7's vs 9's thread (not this one) plus more. There's ECU threads, Fuel system threads, exhaust threads, dump pipe threads, intercooler threads, air box threads, clutch threads, radiator threads, brake threads, wheel size and fitment threads. It's all been covered before :)

This may seem rude, but members on here who have taken the time to give very detailed answers and information in the past will find it rude that their past contributions are neglected by other users who are too lazy to take the small amount of time to search when they've given their time to answer the questions already.

Le sigh.....

Will -9's (GT-SS) go well with a 2.8??? :P

No one has asked that yet!

My guess is awesome low to midrange, then a choked top end and drop off after 6500ish due to smaller hotside compared to -5's, and smaller cold side witth more heat if you put in more PSI.

+1

....but, They will make more hp than the -7 due to the larger trim on the comp. And a -5 might be too big for him

gtr.uk confussed me so much mate, there quite old posts aswell but people keep saying gtss are -7s ect ect, or they say -7 is bigger then -9 ect ect

The pommie forum has really taken a dive in quality over the lasts few years.

-9's are SS's without actuators and a badge.

The difference between HKS GT-SS and -9's is nothing. GT-SS used to come with HKS stamped front compressors but now they have the same cover as Garrett -9s (and have had it for ages now). GT-SS come with adjustable actuators, -9's don't come with any actuators (Garrett do make bolton adjustable actuators to suit though that can be brought seperately).. although if you wanted standard actuators on -9s then you would want "-1's".

      OK. But what about parts of the block that, when assembled, were twisted into a position that pushed into the void space, which, when disassembled, then released that force and opened back up, thus putting the grout into tension? Would effectively just pull the cast iron off the grout at the interface, leaving a tiny void and benefitting not much at all. Swings, and roundabouts. It's like putting something tiny into the fleshlight and finding out you needed a smaller one, to perhaps follow your area of expertise.

      I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.
