    Help Identifying a Turbo

    Folks, can I have a hand.

    The car I bought came with a Garrett turbo but there is no ID plate on the core to help. Is this a normal S14 T28?

    The Garrett compressor housing reads with A/R 60 M24, and the Garrett turbine housing reads 0.86 and T712 among other things I can't make out.

    Any help appreciated. Thank you.

    Help Identifying a Turbo

    .82 housing indicates that its a Pulsar GTiR turbo. Commonly known as “T28H”

    Can make a little more top end in comparison to the standard S14 (T28) turbo but is a heap laggier due to the big housing.

    Most likely journal bearing. Journal bearing cores have 4 bolts holding the core onto the exhaust housing vs 6 for ball bearing.

    Thanks for the input, it's not a 0.82 though, it's a 0.86 housing.

    Looks like a GTiR turbo with an S14 compressor housing.

    That was a little mod back in the day wasn't it? Make it spool a touch faster
