Odd ball 38R...

[bad12jr]

Ok that's what I was wondering. Thinking out loud. That is even more odd coming from Garrett.

Sent from my x2 chillin in the middle of no where

Isnt the 38R, 66mm compressor wheel and 88mm turbine wheel ?

Does the billet wheel fit the back plate ? If so you should just get the housing machined to fit the wheel. Or possibly you were sent the wrong wheel to begin with?

Fits the backing plate fine... Its not the wrong wheel, fit a new 38R off the shelf once returned...

im thinking the same thing

It is the correct wheel for a 38R...

I am a bit smarter then to post a thread without checking that first...

If thats the case I would just get the housing machined and call it a day.

Or a new housing from Garrett...

I'm more asking for curiosity's sake. Why would Garrett make this bastard, and then not tell anyone...

Not one vendor I have spoken do can make ends of it...

Not sure bud, never heard of such a conundrum before. I would say that getting is machined would be the fastest solution though.

Shot of the turbo tag...

Shot of the turbo tag...

I'll show it to my Garrett rep and see what he can find out for you.

Well by the initial looks of it my Garrett rep said the following after looking at the tag,

"Tag looks very counterfeit. Honeywell is not 2 words and the Garrett typeface looks wrong. I know of no changes to the turbo since they came out.

Also Garrett has never sold direct except to OE's"

He also said he will look into it a little further and get back to me. But to me I dont see honeywell as two words on the tag, maybe its the angle that made him think that.

honeywell appears to be in two different styles of lettering.

 

[SEABEE08FX4]

Okay just for grins, this is a tag off of one that we have here at the shop. To me I don't see a difference.

On EDIT: looking at them side by side yours is missing the "S" at the end of the PN # and also is not riveted on like the ones we have here at the shop.

Applicable Garrett part numbers:

[739619-4], [739619-0004], [739619-5004], [739619-5004S]

found this online.. all pertain to the 38r

Per Garrett's website, the only PN # I show for that turbo is 739619-5004S.

yeah i checked there first... the serial number doesn't show up on anything

I blew up both tags side by side..... They do not look as they came from the same press, if they are from Honeywell/ Garrett
The space where the y meets the w in honeywell is different. Just small minor differences between them...
The garrett in CSI tag has a small seam just between the tops between E and T, the new tag does not, its smooth across from ETT.
The obvious fact one is rivited and CSI is glued or attached by some other means.... Strange i guess.

Weird though....

He is smoking crack...

It was drop shipped from Garrett to me, via Diesel Innovations

Yeah the SN is unique to each turbo, but the PN should always be the same.
