Turbo ID

[adam 32]

regarding the hose with an adjustable nut its probably a heat probe of some kind. have u got any aftermarket temp guages in the car?

[MM2death]

No aftermarket temp gauges in my car. i think it reads either 0.60 or 0.50 on the comp cover. I took the heat shield off just to take those photos... I'll have to take more photos when i get around to taking the pipes off. There's no evidence of a fmic.

btw adam32, what mods do you have and what power are you making?

[Chris32]

Get a few of the front and inside so you can count the number of blades etc.

Mine is making 198rwkw at 1bar with a FMIC and tune

Lets hope you have a 2510, they are awesome

Also, there should be a stamped garret tag near the oil feed, that tells you exactly what it is (unless its a highflow job)

[MM2death]

Thanks Chris, Adam and sydneykid. I'll see if i can get the photos by the weekend.

mm2 to me it dont look like a stocker but i could b wrong i got the saem car as u and yours looked abit different to mine..so u got nothing that says nissan or ceramic?

[MM2death]

No it don't say anything about Nissan on the comp cover so it's definately not stock. Which is good cuz it most likely won't be ceramic.

This is about as good as a photo i can get without removing pipes etc...

i have a t3/t4 on my 31 and it looks pretty tiny compared to mine, the likely hood of it being an hks item is very slim.Its probably a standard turbo with a steel wheel high flowed, and it looks like a roller bearing job.

Well it doesn't have the compressor cover off a stocko turbo...so i'm assuming it's something different.

And greasemonkey from SDU said:

"thats not stock, i've ripped a couple off in my day and that thing is not stock. stock turbines have their intakes on the front face not up on top like that. coolant lines are way different too. as for what it is???? i cant help you out their"

[Chris32]

Looks the same as mine, but its whats inside that counts

[adam 32]

as i said before who cares what it is

you need to worry about what power its making!

[Chris32]

Very true, and its whats inside that will determine that

[MM2death]

All i really wanna be assured of is that it doesn't have a ceramic wheel.

Thanks again,

Scott.

[adam 32]

just pull the intake piping off, it will take you 10-15mins

that way ull be able to find out what turbo it is and see if it has a ceramic or metal wheel!

[MM2death]

I thought all wheels on the compressor side are steel....the ceramic one (if any) is the exhaust side. ???

[MM2death]

I should have done this before, but i'll go write down the numbers on the tag of the turbo...

[MM2death]

OK, on the tag it says Garret (i think) in the top right hand corner, in some logo thing. Then underneath that it says: Made in Japan. Then under that it reads (to the best i can understand):

17200-114100

UF 7042J

46701S-0021

There are also some numbers on the rusty bit of the turbo near the tag that are marked (i think):

H 3

67

H 3

075

Thanks,

Scott

dude the only way to find out if you have a steel or ceramic wheel is to look at it, there is no other way, unless you know it has never been pulled apart before, ceramic wheels usually look a little orangey where a steel wheel is black, use a mirror to see it after you pull the dump pipe of

rob

[MM2death]

Yeah r31gts you might be onto something there! haha

but yea i thought i could indentify the turbo first, before i would have to rip anything apart.

Scott

[Chris32]

HKS stuff has the model stamped on the garrett tag, so might be some type of high-flow??
