Today I passed by the dealer, nothing to do, so while chatting and looking at the Lusso and Abarth, I noticed the Turbo had different no.

Lusso had Garred 922 while the Abarth had 100. Do they have a different Garett turbo. tia

 

[Greg]

Frank, would you happen to have any pictures? There have been a few turbo revisions with this engine in the past, but I haven't seen any yet on the 124. Anything on this could be important.

I'm curious, where are these numbers you refer to found?

 

[frankmar]

If I pass by again by the dealer, I will take a pic of the Garrett turbn the Turbo I see the Garrett and a small number on it and I noticed the different number on the Lusso and Abarth.

 

[MotoPete]

Where's the small number? For example I see Garrett and A/R 46. Can't find any "922" or "100".

There is also a EL 093 in a circle stamp.

I agree with Pete...A/R 46....are these numbers in the casting or bar coded stickers?...are these the numbers in the circle stamp?...interesting...

They were in the circle metal stamped of the turbo and were very small in print. It was not on the bar code.

I believe the turbo is the AR 46..the circle stamp looks like production information to me...chime in any time Greg...

 

[SteveWy]

Mine says A/R 46 ...and I swear my circle says EK 051 .....could be EX, but I am going with EK

 

[GarchingS54]

Name of the Turbo is: Garret GT1446 - enough for about 225hp and 370Nm (EEC/ EWG 80/1269) in the spider.

 

[frankmar]

mine is a garrett/46 in circle say E1 or F1 101. check the picture

 

[GarchingS54]

It is a GT1446

Maybe the complete designation is: MGT1446SZ Garrett

 

[MotoPete]

I'm thinking the circle stamp must be like a batch number. I'm supposing if certain castings fail there'll be a recall on them. That's my stab in the dark anyway!

 

[Greg]

They all appear to be functionally the same turbo. Pete's batch number theory sounds good to me. Garrett makes turbos in various factorys and of course in different batches. This is probably just a way they keep track of things for quality control or warranty issues.

I see you have also added some "bits" to your car. Mine says EK/039. I notice that the orientation of the mark is different, not just the number.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

They might have assorted casting differences, but both the Classica/Lusso and Abarth use the same turbo. The Garrett actual part number for both is the same. Verified this myself
