What turbo is this?
Turbo Mini Forums

Ive been told this is a T2 turbo but i can find any good markings to let me know. And also I dont know what its from as a guy was trying to customize his Toyota starlet instead of buying a Toyota starlet turbo.

Its made by Airesearch and its in good nick but other than that im not entirely sure how i find out more.

Could someone help?

I think it is an R5 T2, but the turbine housing looks a little different from mine.

I ask as im having trouble working out what ill require for the oil feed on the second link. Its not the standard oil feed that you see on T2's, with the olyptical finish with 2 threaded holes either side of the main oil feed. Its driving me mad trying to find a part for it without having one made.

The large threaded hole is the drain rather then the feed. The feed is diametrically opposite.

The drain consists of a swaged pipe and threaded union.

A search through R5GTT parts on eBay may help find the drain pipe.

That is 100% a R5GT unit. The straight and 90-deg water elbows give the game away.
The union will be available from any turbo rebuild shop like turbotechnics, owen developments, etc
