Well I am headed to the hobby shop in about an hour to install my "new" Turbo.
Well not brand new, it's a year old and has about 5,000 klms on it.
"...Garrett ball bearing turbocharger. It's a bolt on turbo for the S14 and S15. It's basically the same thing as the Tomei 8446. It has a 46 trim TO4E compressor wheel and the same exhaust wheel as the HKS 2835 (the compressor wheel is a little larger than the 2835). The exhaust housing is an a/r .86. Power is good for 400 and change. It comes with a Garrett 6.1kg adjustable actuator. Because of the size, this turbo should be used on an engine with cams.
It's a custom GT28 series turbo. It is a copy of the Tomei (Nismo) 8446 (also built by Garrett); same actuator and everything. It was ordered from and built by Garrett. It's the exact same thing as the GT2835 with the exception of the compressor wheel major diameter being larger. The housings are direct bolt on for S14/S15. In addition to the exhaust wheel being bigger than even the GTI-R, the exhaust housing is also an a/r 0.86 (same as the GTI-R but with six bolts for the bb cartridge) vs. the stock 0.64, but has the same flanges. It's the same turbo run on the Nismo GT300 engines for circuit racing. You can not buy this turbo from Nismo, Nissan, etc. It's considered "racing parts" and not available to the public.
Hopefully I don't run into any snags. I already have it mounted a brand new manifold. Here are some pics as it sits in my house:
