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.

    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu?
