Which Garrett Turbo Is This?

[SNG]

Hello all,

I need help identifying my turbo, its stamped Garrett a/r .53 1-2

I've done a search for a while and have come to the conclusion they're not stock or N1's.

The turbo itself is fairly small and looks similar to:

Any help in identifying which turbos they actually are / possibly could be, or any information would be much appreciated.

SNG.

I think you will find they are stock units from an R34.

well the turbo in the pic you posted is a stock 32/33 GTR turbo (.42 A/R) i don't know much about 34s, but i guess it's possible they had .53 A/R compressor covers.

edit: they are definately not an N1 i've ever seen though as they all had either .48 or .60 A/R comp covers with a .64 A/R turbine housing.

Sorry guys i probably confused u with the photo in my first post, i put that in there as my turbo looks similar to that, its not an actual photo of my turbo.

The best photos i can get are below which u really cant see very well as there still on the car, and its taken with a camera phone so its not the best quality or angle.

Can anyone confirm if they are r34 turbo's?

I cant seem to find any info on an a/r .53 spec turbo.

Thanks for the help so far!

sounds like r34 turbo ball bearing centre with ceramic exhaust wheel

atlast. somone who actualy beleives 34s are ceramic!!!!!

and they do break and i dont like replacing them on a friday!!

So were agreed they are turbos from a r34 gtr?

Whats the max boost i should run these at seeing they have a ceramic exhaust wheel, 1bar? I assume they're prone to shatting themselves if run at sustained high boost pressures?

Anyone know maximum flow of these turbos?

Cheers!

i wouldnt run more than 12psi on them. they are very weak turbos. trust me i have blown 3 of em. try keep it under 12-13psi other wise u will end up under ur bonnet for a whole day:)
