Would These Turbo's Be Ok?

[byebyev8]

I can get a brand new set of gt2860r turbo's for my r33 gtr vspec for a good price!

Has anyone had any experience with these turbo's before???

What are they like??

It's for a street car so i need some response still???

Any thoughts would be handy!!

Thanks

yep just put some on my R32 GTR

feel great just a little bit lagger than stock R32 units but push really hard.

Only thing that didnt fit was the oil drain fitting on bottom of turbo so the bolt holes need to be slotted to fit.

Slotted?

Slotted?

Noone,

Slotting -->

Fairly self explanatory, tis when you need it to fit, but cant be F'd or don't need to make a new bracket... so you drill / file out to fit

Are you sure that was all the issues? I had a mechanic describe a whole list of issues putting these on - of course I can't remember the specifics.

I see you're in canberra - did you do it yourself, or get some place to help you out?

Yer I just fitted them to my 32 as well. It's a big job but yes they do bolt straight up and the only modification is to slot the oil drian holes. It does seem alittle dodgy but but there's no presure in these lines so it's perfectly ok to slot the holes. I'm having other issues with mine at the moment though with "shuffle", mainly because I haven't got the necessary supporting mods yet and it's not tuned.

there are more "tricks" than "issues" when fitting them. Many green gtr mecahnics struggle with removing and fitting the turbos ie taking like 2 days to do the swaps....

They are a direct bolt on....which type do you have..-7,-5,-10?????

Each are different.

Okay havn't had my turbos off YET so wasnt sure just thought drain holes would be threaded, slotting seemed like it could result in leaks I am assuming that isnt the case.

These sound like the go though little bit more lag than stock but capable of heaps more up top with the 2860 -7

and abit more lag than "-7's" with heaps more up top for the 2860 -5's

Just to clarify can I make a bracket change lines to avoid the need to slot the holes? Is there any point avoiding it ie. does it leak or anything if u do?

its a common mod, if you cant master this simple task without disaster it would probaly pay to get some-one to install the turbos for you. trust me you should be fine.

thanks for your help as I stated havnt yet taken turbos off YET so am just more than anything wondering if these holes are threaded etc. think I can probly make a bracket OK or slot the damn holes "without disaster" I just assumed at first read these holes would be threaded for the oil return lines yet others have stated they elongated the holes was curious as i thought you would have to get a good seal so as to not have oil going everywhere guess not.

my bro had a set of these in his r33. bit laggy till around 4. has awesome top end power pulls very hard at about 7-9000

believe that

-7 is GTSS size

-5 is 2530 size

therefore you'd get more lag from a -5 than -7 but more top end for -5.

PS, byebyev8, big threads on these turbos if you search

-5 is 2530 size

Wait a minute... so the title of this page is wrong?
