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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
