how to ID a Garret turbo

[Pappu1]

hey i have acquired a Garret AR.70 M24 turbo

lol is is a GT30 or 35

looks big but dunno

the seller had no idea

Number on the chra isnt there? What youve said I THINK means its the badass 4" cover. They work on gt28/30/35 etc

[funkytown]

yes marks are on the CHRA which will give you a frame size. Measure the wheels to determine what size you have.

M24 0.7 AR on the compressor cover i know came on the full size gt3071r, with 4" cover. It could have also come on other sizes.

^ evo - they are specific to compressor size, so saying something like the work on blah blah and blah is not quite correct.

a gt3071 will have the CHRA number 700177-xx if its genuine.

[Pappu1]

Where on chra will the markings be

Hoping near oil feed lol as easier to get to

[funkytown]

little silver tag, like so

[Pappu1]

thats just unner the oil feed line ay?

[funkytown]

on that picture the oil feed is pointing to the bottom, the inlet you see near the top is for water. so it would be between 9-12 o clock or 12-3 o clock depending if your looking at it from the front or rear.

if its installed on a subaru, it will be pointing up and can be seen / read.

[Pappu1]

aaahh its on a subaru and twisted too hehe

i will go and see

cant wait to find out lol

its brand new fitted and then sold on to some one who didnt know and now to me and im curious as hell to find out

[funkytown]

twisted wont affect it, regardless of how the compressor outlet is oriented (or the turbine for that matter) the oil drain on the CHRA is always downards facing, which means the label is always on the top.

write down the full label on it and come back - there are LOTS of variants and rip offs.

I would be doing a careful inspection of the wheels and measuring before i hand over any coin. (means removing both the covers), to get the exducer and inducer sizes.

happy to help ID it once you have that info.

[Pappu1]

looks like the tag has been removed

who the hell removes tags

apperently its brand new and not any driven km on it

just used for test fitting and some starts while ecu was being wired in

anyway

now how do i ID it

can someone look at it and say what it really is

[Guest]

Inducer/exducer sizes. Or go see steve and get a set of ceramics thrown in at the same time.

[boon]

Compressor and turbine dimensions and core diameter would tell you what it is. But turbo would have to come off for that.

[Pappu1]

hahah

yea that be the one....

for a new turbo its pretty silly to remove tags...idiots

[Marky]

Sure it\'s genuine? Tags being removed outright is slightly :-\

I always get a bit wtf when I see the old "installed then removed after 2 starts" or whatever but maybe you have gotten a bargain

[Guest]

pics or gtfo

Could be a garrett cover on ching turb but not likely. Randomly I did read something someone smart said that going to a bigger comp housing without changing wheel gives more torque.

[Pappu1]

yea will get some pics

sucks if its chinga

altho i was very well assured its genuine

[funkytown]

pffft if new would never have tags removed.

totalllll BS. it wont be genuine. not in a million years.

It\'s not a sticker to be removed, it should be engraved on the core -see again pic posted by funky for tag place-

[funkytown]

correct - they are mini rivited in place. you would have to force-ably remove it and would leave marks where it was.

yea i saw a mini rivet marks

if i bought a new turbo even if was chinga i wunt remove tags

if i bought a new garret gt30 and someone tried removing tags i wud cut their hands

[funkytown]

money on = STAY THE FARK AWAY.

sadly already paid

its my brothers and m helping him with the setup

dunno how to break his heart on this one

will do more digging....

[funkytown]

oooooh yow.. guttz.

def be taking it apart and measure the ex/in of each wheel. take some photos - and might be able to then help ID it more.

[boon]

Almost certaintly a chingchong model. Might have genuine compressor cover but no ID plate on the core = probably at the very best a chingaling refurb.

On the positive side, if it\'s already got a decent twisted setup and the dimensions are right it wouldn\'t be hard to swap a genuine CHRA into the existing exhaust housing.

[Pappu1]

had a closer look

there was a plaque there cos i can see the rivet head busted out

hmm so if there was a plate there and now its been busted out ..does that make it any mre genuine

and y the hell wud a fool do that

some people!!
