Ok guys just double checking something here.

Garrett GT2860R 707160 -7 = R34 N1 (14411-AA403)

Garrett GT2860R 707160 -5 = HKS GT2350 (Almost equivalent to garrett)

Garrett GT2859R 707160 -9 = HKS GT-SS (Garrett without actuator)

Garrett GT2859R 780371 -1 = HKS GT-SS (Garrett with actuator)

I see alot of guys referring to the -9 units, but according to Garrett, these do not include actuators.

The last in the list above is essentially the GT-SS which comes with an actuator.

I know over time there has been changes in the numbers when it comes to turbo identity, so probably what we used to refer to as the -9 should now be the -1 ??? as Garrett no longer has a GT2560R -9 listed, but the GT2859R -1

Also there has been debates between using the -7 (R34 N1) and the old -9 / new -1 (GT-SS) but the only difference in specs is the 55 comp trim on the R34 N1 and the 56 trim on the GT-SS. Is this such a big deal???

I guess two of them will more or less spool the same with the -1 (GT-SS) having a little more on top?

All the above model nos. were taken from Garrett's web site TODAY.

Thanks.

once you have the answer can you please (or someone) write up a FAQ and place it in the tutorial section

there is common confusion over which garret equiv model is the HKS model and so forth

this would remove endless posts, frustration and speculation over which is which

Little time ATM but a taste .

Go back to turbobygarrett and look at the compressor housing sizes (0.42/0.60) and the turbine dimensions because there are differences .

707160-5 (CHRA 446179-51) has the 76T turbine/0.60 AR comp hsg and 60.1mm 62T comp . Not same wheel as 2860RS .

707160-7 (CHRA 446179-54) has the 62T turbine/0.42 AR comp hsg and 60.1mm 55T comp . 707160-9 (CHRA 446179-65) has the 62T turbine/0.42 AR comp hsg and 59.4mm 56T comp .

From memory the 0.42 AR comp hsg is T3 family where the 0.60 one is T4 family .

The 62 trim turbine is more about response than all out flow like the 76T one .

707160-9 gets the smaller trim turbine/slightly smaller OD compressor/smaller family and AR compressor housing .

That info is spot on but...... Has anyone actually ordered a GT2859R 707160 -9 from Garrett and received it with actuators?

Like i said previously the GT2859R 780371 -1 is the exact turbo, but with an actuator.

I am not a turbo expert by any means, but what i would like to know is will that difference of 0.7mm on the Exd of the comp wheel, and a difference of 56T as compared to 55T will make such a big difference between the R34 N1 and the GT-SS turbos, and if so what will be the likely effects in terms of spool up time and peak power?

And i guess instead of upgrading stockies to N1s it will be better just to get the GT-SS (-9 or -1) ???

both the GT2859R turbos are identical other than the actuator (stock actuator can be used anyway). One shouldn't be referred to as 'old' or 'new' as it would confuse the hell out of some people. It's entirely a matter of choice whether or not one chooses an actuator but it's the same turbo.

The difference between the -9 and -7 is mainly in the design of the wheel rather than the difference in size. It is a big difference in efficiency. The -9 (GT-SS) is much more efficient and over a broader flow range.

It would be nice if someone had pics of the GT2859R's compressor , someone here had GTR GTSS turbos but never got around to posting pics of one's comp wheel .

It is interesting that the comp wheel is 0.7mm smaller on the 59R and I'm sure there would be differences in tip height as well . Whatever Garrett did HKS cashed in on the better match between the compressor and turbine .

If the price is similar/same I don't see any reason to buy the -7's .

What do U mean by that?

Both HKS and Garrett use the 59.4mm 56T compressor and 53.8mm 62T turbine.

Brad I mean between 707160-9 and 707160-5 turbos , they use different compressor wheels .

As for the two GT2859R's , they use the same cartridge so they use the same compressor wheel .

I'd say logically speaking the ones without actuators are in the form supplied to HKS who used a different actuator .

Yes HKS loses the monopoly over time , probably anti competition laws . Generally the only drama is if HKS uses non Garrett housings because Garrett don't supply those .

Good examples are say the "real" GT3076R , it was a HKS spec unit but you can buy them through Garrett nowdays . Fingers crossed also the 52 comp trim version I'm hoping .

The GTRS is another one , you can buy the T28 flanged version with the Nissan/Garrett comp cover on it too .

GT2859R/GTSS a third example .

Many of these HKS spec Garrett turbos have been around for quite a while so if you ask the right people you can probably order them in if prepared to wait . Provided you know the turbo and cartridge number you're in with a fighting chance .

Anyone know the rating of the actuator that comes with the Gt 2859R ???

Should i use my stock actuator?

Also i see there is a fitting of what looks to be the oil drain from the turbo to the sump that comes with the HKS GT-SS kit..... Why is this included??? and is this, or any other fittings or changes that needs to be made when fitting the Garrett turbos???

Thanks.

The flange for the oil drain has the bolt holes closer together on the newer garretts. All u need to do is slot the holes closer to the centre on the stock oil drains with a file. I dunno what the actuators on em are. I think most just buy the 707160-x and use stock actuators.

Ok

Is there enough space to slot it and maintain the seal properly?

Actuators????

Oil restrictors???

yeh it seals fine. Stock actuators bolt on. Turbos have oil restrictors built in to the oil inlet but may need more if ur running a lot of oil pressure. My mate has run a tomei pump for a couple of yrs without extra restrictors so should be sweet.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
