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??? :P

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

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

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.

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".

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
