Hi all , I was sniffing around some online compressor maps and came across an interesting thing .

I've seen people here speak about the Garrett marketed equal as the 707160-7 turbo which is a replacement RB26 turbocharger but I reckon its not the same cartridge (CHRA) as the one HKS speced for their marketed GTSS turbo .

The CHRA used in that 707160-7 is the 446179-54 , I believe the real GTSS CHRA is the 446179-65 and the good oil is that Garrett also sell it as turbo number 707160-9 !

I'll post the links so you can see the two compressor maps and compare . Also take a look at the dimensions of the two compressor wheels because they are not as different as the comp maps would suggest .

At a glance the two turbos look (I think) identical because they appear to use the same housings in the same A/R ratios .

At Freshalloy.com someone has a thread asking about his genuine GTSS turbos because it seems these turbos don't have "HKS" cast into either housing , the actuators seem to have HKS stencilled on them .

That feller quoted 707160-9 on his SS's ID tags which is a bit interesting isn't it ?

I really wanna see those real GTSS comp wheels NOW please !

Interesting times , cheers Adrian .

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • 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...
