One of the local guy here with a shop has a complete kit with the gt28r turbo down to a pwr intercooler, etc...basically complete. Well, Before I buy I wanna know if theres any way you can identify it being a gt28r. I mean, is there some letters and serial on it? he wants $1500 for it. hes also including 450 injectors plus a 7psi base map and a 3bar too. I don't think he'll try to scam me or anything, I just wanna make sure before I go ahead and buy it.


ps. I try searching on here, yahoo and garrett page. no luck so far

ask to see a receipt... if he doesnt have one then he is prob lying

Get all the part numbers off the turbo, I've been really hot at matching them lately.

why are these turbos so covetted?

 

[Dweezil]

Faster spooling, better flowing, and more eficent than the older T-series. The GT2860RS is smaller and better than the old T-3 "Super 60" for example.

Check the turbine wheel.. See if its a 9 blade or 11 blade turbine wheel..

GT28R has a 9 blade wheel.

Just in case you didn't know this, a GT28R and a GT28RS are not the same turbo. A easy way to tell the two apart is to measure the inducer.

GT28R has a 9 blade wheel.

Mine has 9 Blades as well

I check on garrett and they said that if the last letter ends with a R, its a ball bearing. The only thing is, I dont know if its a gt28r or gt28rs or EVEN a gt model.

the gt28r is a ball bearing turbo. They dont call it gt28r anymore, its called gt2560r i think. The gt28r is an NISSAN SR20DET OEM turbo.

My mistake.
