Op6 Turbo Id

[Chris32]

Trying to work out if this is a nylon compressor r34 op6 or if it's been replaced at some point

Given the pen marking on the back I think this has been put on to replace the stock turbo

Isn't it pretty easy to clean up the comp wheel and see if it is ally or nylon?

[Chris32]

It feels like alloy but I don't want to stuff around too much and risk damaging it

Garrett comp cover says it isn't factory

[chiksluvit]

S2 r34 gtt compressor cover is Garrett, likely to be alloy compressor, but still ceramic turbine

[Chris32]

Yeah reading up I think if might be a vg30 op6, they had alloy compressor wheels

Doesn't matter, it's only a spare now anyway!

did not know that

Really? Is that absolutely true? Had never heard/seen of it before. What year is S2 R34?

[Chris32]

2000-2001 is series 2

I've never seen one before since S2 R34 GTts are pretty rare. But that's what it says on the hyperrev magazine sitting on my desk here

I can confirm, 100000000% that a stock S2 R34 turbo says NISSAN on the side.

back to square one but here's some info from an old post

Never heard of S3 before

Regarding the pen marking on the back, this is actually from the factory! I have an R34 turbo with a similar code written on it, with the same pen. Looks like the same handwriting too I have found a few parts on the car with similar handwritten codes, including the gearbox.

Interesting! Having known the previous owner and it never being replaced I assumed it was done before he owned it

Some have had Garrett compressor housings , usually the give away in any RB25 OE comp housing is the anti reversion groove machined into the inlet snout that generally lines up with the tips of the inducer or inlet comp wheel blades .

A .

PS the VG30 single ceramic BB turbos don't have this groove and the comp wheel was slightly smaller . Plus the actuator and its mounting bracket is different to any RB based OE turbo .
