Are These Genuine Hks Gt-ss Turbos?

[.R33.]

Seen these for sale at a good price, they say they are hks gtss turbos off their r34 gtr but they look like the stock standard ones i have on my 33 gtr? Especially the numbers on the comp housing. Anyone able to shed some light? I have looked on sau and internet with no success thanks in advance

They're -9's. Garrett equivalent.

So they are not stock? Hoe do you tell? Sorry i just can't see any difference

[mr skidz]

I didn't read the post properly my apologies I'm at work flat out if you're asking if they are dash 9 or HKS gtss I would say they are dash nines but since you said they could have come off R34 GTR they could also be dash sevens but they're not gtss that's for sure

[mr skidz]

There definitely not ss's

[mr skidz]

9's don't come with actuators like in pic. You really want to know take the compressor cover off and measure the small section of the wheel and the large section of the wheel

Thanks for the replies. Just don't want to get burned buying them and turning out to be stock orm turbos. I have messaged the sellers email and phone asking how to tell they are not stock but he is not answering so just sounds suss.

Instead of cracking it apart you could just look for any build plate stamped on the core and see what that says.

They don't look like stock ones.

Numbers cast on the front covers are just ratios, not an indication of turbo size

[r32-25t]

Get the number off the plate on the core

Cheers for the help. But there are no plates on the turbo might just risk it and buy them. Guy seems to be genuine and the turbine wheel doesn't have the double hex nut, so indicates it might not be oem...

Or you could spend the extra and buy new ones so you definitely know what you are getting.

There is always a build plate on the core so request that and if they don't supply it then they are trying to hide something.

There definitely are some sort of serial number on those turbos. Near oil line area

[.R33.]

Yeh got photos sent to me. It is missing both the plates which hold the numbers on them...

[r32-25t]

With the plates missing it's almost impossible to tell without measuring them if they are -7s or -9s

[.R33.]

Not fussed if they are -9 or -7. As long as they are not stock ceramic ones i would be happy as only buying to reppace stock turbos and get a little bit more oomph out of it ?

[Hadouken]

I wouldn't buy them.

[mr skidz]

Oomph can be had from stock turbos that have had steel wheels inserted. that would be cheaper than what you're probably paying, I've got a pair here if you want.

Oomph can be had from stock turbos, 291rwkw and 11.1 @ 123mph

Without tags I would consider these the lowest spec turbo possible and pay what they are going for
