Nah GT2560-9s... the -7s are more like N1s

+1 for that. the -9 seems to be very similar to the GT-SS in power and response etc.

The -7s are definitely the N1 turbos. -5s more like HKS2530s...

Check out this link: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tbroom/Turbos.htm. Some very good info on there.

However, apparently the -9s don't come with actuators which have to be purchased separately.

Apparently Garrett don't sell many of them, mainly selling -5s and -7s to GTR owners (Possibly because of the common misconception that the -7s are GT-SS equivalents on top of not having the actuators?).

When I asked overseas the answer came back that the 707160-9 turbo was what HKS sell as a GTR spec GTSS .

Just recently Garrett updated there web page to show two "GT2859R" turbo variants , the first being the 707160-9 and the second I think the same one but with actuators provided .

If you look at their web page it shows the same 446179-65 cartridge used in both so I suppose we assume they are the same turbo .

do you mean this : http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_739548_9.htm

I would be more looking at this one: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...9R_707160_9.htm

They are supposed to be a splitting image of the R34 GTR turbos, so worst comes to worst you can use the stock actuators on them.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
