Garrett Equivalent Of Hks Gt-Ss

[kylieyeah]

Hey guys,

I really would like to know what are the Garrett equivalent of the HKS GT-SS turbo's?

I have researched for a bit to find many mixed results that they could be either the -7's or -9's

based on the source. However, from my understanding the -7's are actually closer to the

N1 turbo's off the R34 GTR's.

Also, does anyone which is suppose to output more power between the -7 and -9's?

Thank you.

GTSS is EXACTLY the same as -9. It's the same part without a pretty badge. This information is in just about every thread started on this topic since SAU started.

For the rest, use the search button. It's been covered so many times, in great detail. There won't be a single question you can think of that hasn't been answered already on those turbos.

There's a 300kw GTR thread, 400kw thread, RB26 dyno results thread, 7's vs 9's thread (not this one) plus more. There's ECU threads, Fuel system threads, exhaust threads, dump pipe threads, intercooler threads, air box threads, clutch threads, radiator threads, brake threads, wheel size and fitment threads. It's all been covered before

This may seem rude, but members on here who have taken the time to give very detailed answers and information in the past will find it rude that their past contributions are neglected by other users who are too lazy to take the small amount of time to search when they've given their time to answer the questions already.

Le sigh.....

Will -9's (GT-SS) go well with a 2.8???

No one has asked that yet!

My guess is awesome low to midrange, then a choked top end and drop off after 6500ish due to smaller hotside compared to -5's, and smaller cold side witth more heat if you put in more PSI.

+1

....but, They will make more hp than the -7 due to the larger trim on the comp. And a -5 might be too big for him

Ibtl

It has been covered so many times.

You should get some hks - gtrs turbos. Heard some guys say they are great for street application

Trolol

[DVS JEZ]

Where does it say 2.8L? I cant see it anywhere on my phone

[Hadouken]

Nah he's just posting a question that he hasn't seen before. Nothing to do with op!

I think GT-SS is -9 turbo + with "preety / better" HKS actuators and all the bits needed for straight swap included.

[sydking]

theres a chart somwere showing back to back -9 and gtss, Not sure how accurate it would be unless the same car was used and only turbos swaped to show the diff

[The Dan]

They are identical in every dimension

The only difference is the HKS casting on the HKS comp cover

[kylieyeah]

Thanks! It's just that some people compared it to -7's on gtr.co.uk :S

Am just going to stay 2.6L, everything standard except upgrade cams for more response, maybe poncams type R, JUN or Mines, then of course a tune

[sydking]

gtr.uk confussed me so much mate, there quite old posts aswell but people keep saying gtss are -7s ect ect, or they say -7 is bigger then -9 ect ect

[Hadouken]

The pommie forum has really taken a dive in quality over the lasts few years.

-9's are SS's without actuators and a badge.

[Don Dada]

^^^And what badge will that be??

[Piggaz]

A badge on the actuator and a pretty box they come in.

i though it was confirmed the HKS GTSS used the own compresser wheel?

Best bet would be to dig up Disco Potatos posts on this topic.

Ur prob thinking of the HKS GT2530

The difference between HKS GT-SS and -9's is nothing. GT-SS used to come with HKS stamped front compressors but now they have the same cover as Garrett -9s (and have had it for ages now). GT-SS come with adjustable actuators, -9's don't come with any actuators (Garrett do make bolton adjustable actuators to suit though that can be brought seperately).. although if you wanted standard actuators on -9s then you would want "-1's".
