Hey guys.

Just wondering if anyone is running either of these garrett turbos on there gtrs?

How do they perform ?

Does the larger GT2860R- 7s have issues with shuffle down low and how responsive are they? e.g when do they start pulling from and when do they get onto full boost ,say 1.4 - 1.6 bar.

Here is where im at,I have an engine thats built for a solid 700hp with fueling to match,running power fc as my computor.

My goal is high 300kws or even low 400kws at the hubs (hub dyno) would these turbos do this?Iv read that the GT2860R - 5s are good for 360hp apeice with almost factory response in spool rate and the GT2860R- 7s are rated to 400hp each , now thats on paper but what are you guys getting with these tubbies? A single is not an option for me at this stage and I want to keep with bolt on low mounts.

Any help will be greatly apreciated

The 707160-5 in a pair combination is good for 700hp at all fours as proven to me on a dyno. Brisbane tuning and turbo centre.

The -7 will come one boost slightly earlier and sharper. The -5 has a smooth deceptive power curve.

The -7 is basically just the N1 whereas the -5 is an upgrade to that turbo. People who I have sold these -5's to have been wrapped in their performance. Most of whom had come from such turbos as the -7 already.

would love to know what else is done to this car....because that figure sounds a bit too high for those turbos. they're only rated at 350hp so how you can get 700awhp out of them would make for an interesting read.

Garrett publish the compressor & turbine maps for these things (as with most of their product). Have a look at www.turbobygarrett.com under the part numbers. You can quite reasonably relate airflow to engine hp. This is actually what people are dong when the quote a 350hp turbo or whatever. Anyway, have a look.

I'm guessing these -5s are on RB26, 700 @ all 4 WOW; what are the specs??? I thought somewhere around the mid to low 500s at the wheels was about it.

I have -5s on my 89 R and they are great, they really start pulling hard at around 4K. I'm making 412rwhp on an internally standard combo...an excellent purchase

Cheers for your replys guys :no:

And as Steve _gts4 has rightfully pointed out the -5 is in fact the bigger of the two

I got my info from here http://www.turbos.co.nz/garretttake2.html but it seems they have the write up on each one round the wrong way

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
    • I had to double check the thread title r34 gtt offset advice lol. Thought maybe i posted on the wrong thread. 😂
