ok ive upgraded my turbos, and now have my old ones in the store room.. i found that they both have a letter 'S' hand written on them..

when i bought my car, it seemed completely standard, and to write on the turbos, the turbos would have have to be taken out sometime.. so now im thinking whether i have standard turbos or not.. how do i identify what turbos i have? i know they are Garrett..

markings on it say - "GARRETT A/R42 M24 1-2" and .42 on one of the tubes and 4685 on the side and

"GARRETT 485" .48 on the other (darker one) i hope u get what im saying here =/

a plate on it says

"UD 1429J

14411-05U20

466071-2"

can anyone let me know what turbos i have? and how would i know if they are 'steel wheeled' turbos? thanks in advance

They are standard size housings, I can tell you that much. the 42 or .42 is the A/R of the front housing and the 0.48 is the rear. the "14411-05U20" is a nissan part number, so they are a nissan turbo, and given the housings sizes are standard I would say they are stock. It's possible they have been rebuilt, and perhaps given steel wheels, but also possible they were just removed for some other reason and re-fitted at some point.

cool, thanks for the info, but is there some way to tell if they are steel wheeled? i cant think of a reason why they would take it off (unless they blew) and write an 'S' on both turbos.. unless its steel wheeled, maybe its just wishful thinking, but is there a way to be sure?? thanks

Take a photo looking in at the front and rear of the turbo, close enough to see easily the shaft at each end clearly. post it up here and it won't take much.

i can get the front shaft but the back has the dumps attatched at they are really tightly bolted on, ill get u the front shaft pics for now, back in 5~

if theres one thing ive learnt with imports is

dont trust the work unless u do it urself..

my car was suppose to be stock when i bought it.. made 296awkw... i thought instantly.. cant be stock turbos

and sure enough they werent stock.. they had a fairly large compwheel..

but ceramic exhaust wheel... so @ 18psi 1 snapped off and destroyed the motor

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
