Been offered some turbos, very close to -9 specs. This will be a on a 34.

-9 are as below and this reads comp to turbine.

Garrett 707160-9 44.46 - 59.41 56T 0.42 42.4 - 53.85 62T 0.64

But what I was offered has 60mm comp wheel and a 53mm turbine wheel.

Bigger comp wheel would normally mean more power, but in the same size housing will that mean more response and more power or more response and less top end as it will choke out.

Likewise, the slightly smaller turbine wheel tells me a little less response, but flow better top end in the same housing.

Any guesses on what the characteristics will be?

My guess is that unless the blade design of both is identical then the aerodynamic differences of each wheel could be more significant than those tiny diameter differences. Also, no mention made of the minor diameters of the other wheels.....mileage may vary there too.

If aero design was otherwise the same, then I'd say that your impressions are pretty close to correct and it might take a very sensitive bum dyno to feel the difference.

That I can't comment on.

All I know is it will essentially be a 2560R core (and turbine wheel) with a .64 rear housing and a -5 comp wheel in my .53 Comp housing.

To me that all equates to a more responsive -5 but will less top end?

my input and thoughts, feel free to ignore :)

Get those turbos, sell them.. then convert to a single GTX3576 or even GTX3582 on a proper twin scroll manifold and a proper divided housing with either twin gates or merge both pulses all the way to a single 50mm gate or larger. Eventually all response and power hungry GT-R owners convert to a modern single turbo.

Same result, hence I was trying the phone.

I also tried FB messenger for Chris personally as we're still connected from DECA days.

All sorted now, turbos will be here today or tomorrow, tuner will supply the Haltech.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
