Popular Science Classroom | Full Analysis of Garrett Nameplate Information

Each Garrett turbocharger has a unique nameplate. How can you identify the production time of the turbocharger through the nameplate? This issue teaches you how to read the “Turbine ID Card”.

Summary:

• Product part number – what each letter represents
• Production serial number – how to identify the production time
• Platform model – relationship with the diameter of the pressure wheel

Each Garrett turbocharger has its own unique nameplate information, which is its “identity card”.
We can know the product part number, production serial number, platform model and other information from it, as shown in the figure below.

Each supercharger has a corresponding part number information, and the letters represent different meanings, for example:
-5001S represents the Original series
-5001Y represents the Redboost series
-5001W represents Based on -5001S, some small parts such as gaskets, bolts and joints are added.
