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

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
