Help with identifying turbo...

[Tom@SimplyAutomotive]

I bought this new turbo last week from a friend with a nissan pulsar.

He has had it for about a year sat under his bed, its brand new and not yet been used.

I got it for very good price but he was unsure as to what turbo it was, he thinks it is equivalent to a t28.

Its got no name on it but few numbers on the back so was wondering if anyone could help?

A/R 0.86
M3
2J

I think he's right, its almost certainly a T28, a garrett copy type thing.

0.86 is the turbine size, which means its a T25 turbine housing (and the front is T3, hence the T28 designation).

0.86 is too big on an R5GTT though, way too laggy. That will want swapping for an 0.49, often found on old rover tomcat T25 turbo's. ofcourse, no idea if it'll fit onto your copy, but often they fit OK.

You'll need to measure the compressor wheel to know exactly what it's spec is, but chances are it'll be 60trim T3 which is good for well over 200hp.

Was just about to say the same thing

Just mesured the front wheel (compressor)?? Its 43mm.

What would be the bit thats 60?

Also just found this which looks probabley the same..

he means the trim will be 60 which is the relation between the inducer size and exducer size, how much air it will flow, if you read this it tells you mate
