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. :P

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. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the help so far! :)

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! :D

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
