What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

[90awd4g63]

Let's say it's a T-61. Only 550 injectors???? Thanks for the replies. My internet here has a lot of blocked websites and search engines so finding stuff is somewhat difficult. This is why I pose this question here, for all to see.

I will check the Turbonetics site (if I can access thier webpage).

Keep giving me input guys and gals, I would like to know the potential of this car. Thanks again.

Well since you have an AFC you might want to get 700cc plus injectors. Or you can go bigger and would not have to upgrade later, unless you wanted to of course... On the turbo, you might just want to research somemore, if you can of course..

Ever heard the phrase "You can't judge a book by it's cover?" Well, you can't judge a Garrett turbo by it's cover, either.

Turbonetics gets a 0 out of 10 when it comes to labeling their turbo's size on the exterior. The only way you're going to get the answer is pull the cover and measure the wheel.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Ahh very nice...But justin has a point here guys.

 

[nismoguy]

i just bought i turbo to put on my nissan and i was wondering what kind it was and whats the factory setting on the wastegate. the housing number is tr0760

 

[prostreetdsmx1]

dude that is no where near close to the info we would need. have you measured any wheels or anything? Post some pics.

 

[VelocitàPaola]

Have you considered asking your question in a Nissan forum?

 

[Andy123]

Found this one for sale. 16g Evo supposedly. Owner said its used but very very low km. Pretty much brand new. Im new to these things but doesnt this turbo look old?

 

[kahl23]

The seller either is trying to rip you off or has no idea what he's talking about, either way, stay away. That is a 14B; you can tell by the number of compressor blades. Do not buy.

 

[Andy123]

wow. thanks so much!

 

[PIMking]

OP is right 14 b my friend. lead the guy on a bit and then tell him that you know its a 14 b and turn him in on what ever site your on.

 

[Andy123]

i would but it was seen on kijiji. Not a dsm forum

 

[Tims99gsx]

hi im new to the whole dsm scene and recently bought a 99 gsx thats modified some and has this turbo installed and was wondering if you could tell me what size/model it is and what i could expect power wise from it. thanks Tim!

I know 20G turbos have that 49179 number on the housing but not sure about the last numbers. Start searching and learning about 20G's might be a good start. Hope that helps.

 

[GSX_TC1]

probably a 50 trim or something.

 

[Tims99gsx]

thanks! i am just beginning learning about all this so gotta start somewhere. i appreciate the fast replies

 

[JusMX141]

Could be:

-Greddy 18G.
-Something with a 20G compressor wheel; turbine unknown.
-Frank 3 20G.
-Frank 4 20G.
-Frank 5 20G.
-FP Green.
-FP Red.

Hope this clears things up.

 

[Tims99gsx]

given all these different turbos it could possibly be is there any real way of finding out which one it is exactly and around how much power it can produce and all?

 

[JusMX141]

Your hands are tied unless you remove the compressor and turbine housings and measure the wheels.

Sorry.

 

[Bud92gsx]

There's no way to look up the numbers and check it out? Measuring the wheels would be a last resort, But would be the quickest way to make sure....

 

[JusMX141]

WHAT numbers?

Here's a Greddy 18G and a Frank Level 5 20G, both displaying the same 49179-52020 number on the compressor cover....one turbo has a compressor wheel that just a tiny bit bigger than a 16G, one has a compressor wheel that's an ENORMOUS Garrett E60:

As you can see, there is no way to tell.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Very true sir. You must check the wheels...
