Is it a GT2871R or a S15 SpecR turbo?

[180sxqc]

Hi guys,

I am new in the world of turbo cars hehe
Can someone tell me what turbo is this turbo please?
I know it has been discussed over and over again, i have been trying to look for it on the internet, but havent came with a conclusion..

When I first bought it, I saw 472560-5015 on the box, I was told by the seller its a GT2871R but i've been taking a close look to the pictures I have taken before the install and it looks exactly the same as the S15 SpecR turbo Nissan Factory OEM S15 Spec R SR20DET Ball Bearing Turbo Garrett GT28R (http://www.frsport.com/Nissan-Factory-OEM-S15-Spec-R-SR20DET-Ball-Bearing-Turbo-Garrett-GT28R_p_1265.html)

Here are few pictures of my turbo:

You took 14 million pictures and missed the only shot that would make it easy to identify.

Take a pic of the inducer of the compressor with the housing on. That's the "outside" of the compressor wheel(aluminum housing one).

to me it looks like a s15 spec r turbo.

No way you could tell that from the pics unless you know what an NS111 turbine wheel looks like.

It could easily be a 52 trim GT2871R.

to me you missed the most important pic.

where the water/oil lines connect to the turbo, there should be a little badge. what is that information please. it would help determine what turbo it is.

shiny turbo none the less :) easily get you into the 300's with supporting mods

Well, I have a picture, but I dont have the whole number pictured.. only have the 5 last digits.. 0-5015 so it's probably 472560-5015 as it's the only part number I could see ending by those digits.. I miss all the important pictures, i'll take some when my gf comes back from her trip, she left me with no camera!! fawk!

From what I have been told, only the internals are different from those two turbos..

Also, I am definately grabbing all the supporting mods for 300+whp.. Wanna start with the upgraded oil pan, oil cooler and oil temp press gauges tho, injectors and maf might have to wait couple more months :) After all, it's winter where I live lol, I have 4 months to save up hehe

I also heard the part number 472560-5015 is the same as GT2871R - 472560 - 15 pictured on the Garrett website

Anyone able to confirm?

the turbo i have looks the same mine is part# 472560-15 and its a gt2871r bought it from phase2 look at link Garrett GT2871R - SR20DET Drop In Replacement (http://www.phase2motortrend.com/ga28gtst.html) great turbo

If the inducer barely reduces down from the compressor inlet diameter, it's a GT2871R 52 trim. If the inducer reduces down by a decent bit(~1/2" or more), then it's a GT2560R, aka S15 turbo.

pretty sure its a 52 trim 2871r

I'd say a 2871R. The exhaust housing on the s15 turbo has a smaller notch in the divider wall.

Here's a photo of my 2871R ex housing (with Tial housing comparison) and it looks identical.
