What Turbo Is This?

[sly32]

Hey all, I bought an engine with a turbo off a friend and she said that the turbo is an HKS GT2510. I trusted her and sold it as this but the guy I sold it to sent it back saying it is not. So can anyone help me identify what type of turbo it is from the photos below? Thanks.

The ID tag #'s are the key

Get the #'s off it (its the one thing you haven't shown in the pic)

I've seen pics of a turbo very similar to that I think here . Can't remember exactly but I think it was either an early HKS GT2530 or GT2535 .

The compressor housing is Garrett T04B in 0.60 A/R , the four bolt reducing adapter on the front of it looks like typical HKS .

You can't see enough in your pics of the turbine housing but the turbine itself is almost certainly the one used in HKS 2530/2535/2540 .

As Nismoid says look at the ID tags numbers .

My notes reckon the cartridge numbers (CHRA) are 446179-21 for the 2530 and 446179-19 for the 2535 .

It doesn't have an ID tag and the core doesn't have anything eligible on it. The actuator is a Nissan one too, so that's not really any help. The girl I bought it off said it's a ball bearing GT2510 and the guy who I sold it to took it to a couple of mechanics and they both said it's a bush bearing and not a GT2510. However when you spin the wheel it keeps spinning and I have been told that this means that it is a ball bearing one. Is this right?
