Wow, this got confusing. So I searched garrett official website to get the measurements of a GT2860-9 and it turns out the GT2860-7 that GCG apparently have are the same measurements as listed GT2860-9 on the garrett website.. I don't know how that works but numbers shouldn't lie.. Right?

Edit:

The gcg -7 are the following:

Inductor- 47.2

Exductor- 60.1

That sounds like a -9 ?

Sorry guys, it wont let me edit the above post.

After a few more hours of reading through threads on this forum I have come to the realisation that the -7s are GT2860-7 (707160-7) and the -9s are GT2859R-9 (707160-9). Going off the stats on the Garrett website, the -7 is a bigger turbo? In that case why is the -9 the one with the better performance and able to push more power easier?

GT2860-7 (707160-7)

COMPRESSOR

Ind Whl Dia(mm) - 44.60

Exd Whl Dia(mm) - 60.10

Trim - 55

A/R - 0.42

TURBO

Whl Dia(mm) - 53.90

Trim - 62

A/R - 0.64

GT2859R-9 (707160-9)

COMPRESSOR

Ind Whl Dia(mm) - 44.50

Exd Whl Dia(mm) - 59.40

Trim - 56

A/R - 0.42

TURBO

Whl Dia(mm) -53.90

Trim - 62

A/R - 0.64

If anyone can clear this up for me that would be great, based on the read I have done -9 is the ones I want, but turns out they are actually smaller.. In which case -7 would have more potential?

I know this will seem like you are going around in circles but the information has been given to you in a user friendly way.

The flow potential of the -9 is higher than the -7.

It really is this simple;

After 'response' on a 2.6 = -9 (330 rwkw or so or squeeze 350 + on E85 on a 'normal' setup) *350 plus on 98

If you can put up with a lethargic result for more top end (360-380) on a 2.6 = -5's.

Stroker = -5's

3.0 with a bulldog curve = -5's

-10's/RS's = in the bin.

*Well setup cars are the exception.

Thanks for the reply guys. I will be going for the -9s. I'm sure if I quote the model number and ask for the HKS GTSS equivalent I will be getting the right ones.

-7s seem a bit out of a waste of time unless you're chasing a replacement

Sorry guys, no edit button again for the above post. But after reading about the different sizes listed by garrett I went into the technical drawings and they look identical apart from the turbo outlet. Is the design of this the advantage of the -9s? Picking up the turbos tomorrow so just want to make sure 100% that I am buying the right ones.

That's right!

-7's and -9's have the same size in specs.

From memory when speaking to Racepace, the reason why the -9's have better top end is due to the configuration of the turbine blades.

Ones longer and the other shorter (the shorter blade allowing more air to flow through).

Also to do with the pitch angle of the turbine blades.

It's at a certain degree to allow more air.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
