Anyone know much about these turbos?

[JoshDturbo]

Can't really find much about them on internet it's what I've took off my 306 to put on another once I buy one because my cambelt snapped anyway anyone any information is it a good turbo etc?

Cheers

Any codes/anything other than a side on picture?

And what do you want to know exactly - it come off a 306 (DT i assume), it will go back on one?
It's an intersting turbo, thats for sure - visually looks bigger than T2

The only other garrett it could be is a GT15 - has a similar actuator setup.

[JoshDturbo]

Yeah pal come off mine that's in the picture got all front mount xantia inlet Bosch pump lda etc to go on another just want to know what power and boost you can go with these and if there actually a good turbo because not really seen one of these before.

I'd have to have a look but it's not at mine atm so can't have a look yet

M28 or something like that... Its in stu's project thread

[ginge191]

M27 or something like that... Its in stu's project thread

M27 is just the compressor housing on the turbo rather than the turbo itself - it's next to the A.R on the turbo - which says it's 0.48? not fantastic, but its alright.

This is similar to a GT15 apparently.

I would expect on that AR with decent fueling @ 20psi? probably 130bhp~

From the info i can see anyway.

It is quite similar to a t3 turbo, m27 is just a casting number, its actually a GT1549. they used this on 3 litre saab V6 engines, and on some Mercedes turbo diesels

[JoshDturbo]

Right i see, 130bhp is decent enough few more tweeks to push abit more want to stay at a good but strong power reliability needs to be good aswel.

[ginge191]

Yeh 130~ ( ~ = ish) is a nice figure for these. that will give you reliability also without the danger of blowing shiz up - by all means push it but be prepared to pick up the pieces, literally.

Lolwat, M27 is the compressor housing model, its not a GT15 - AR is the aspect ratio, a GT40 could have the same AR as a GT15, its just a ratio... That looks to me like a Rover T16 T25 or off a Volvo 740 Turbo...

If its the car in your in your sig, someone on here used to own it...

[Ben]

Yeah pretty sure someone called Studturbo owned it. Find his project thread that'll tell you what turbo it is.

[Ricky]

Yeah looks like a T25 from the 2.0 turbo Rover, or 1.8, can't remember.

[karl1989]

m27 i think he said. did pull nice that turbo

[ginge191]

Lolwat, M27 is the compressor housing model

[con67]

Yep looks like rover t25 as above, mate run 180+ iirc on that turbo.

[Ruan]

I wasn't referring to you... I was referring to everyone else calling it an M27, you're not excused as you called it a GT15!!!

I was just going off the bummerzforum: looks hellaofalot bigger than a gt15

[Ruan]

I wish there was a backpedaling smiley, I think I'd use it more than you use that Fooking popcorn smiley!

[JoshDturbo]

So it a good turbo or what? After you've had your domestic haha

[ginge191]

<3 Ruan

That turbo is alright, I'd crack on with it: it's better than standard and if its all ready to bolt on I'd go for it.
