Which Turbo To Get.....a Little Help

[wizlb]

I HAVE PURCHASED A 96 GTS-T SII,

I HAVE A 3" EXHAUST, A TURBOSMART BOOST CONTROL, APEXI POWER FC W/ HAND CONTROL.

NOW I WANT TO UNGRADE MY TURBO. IS THERE A COMPLETE BOLT ON TURBO KIT OR CAN I JUST UPGRADE THE TURBO ONLY?

THANKS FOR YOU HELP.

Yeah if you want a full upgrade turbo kit you can go the HKS GT-RS or if you want something a little cheaper you can got for one of the Slide High Flowed stock turbo's, some of the people on here have had some pretty good results with them .

[R33GOD]

go the slide hiflow turbo.. nice unit

i thought getting that gt28XX ball bearing for like 1.3-1.4 is heaps better den getting ur stock done for almost da same rice?

300 -400 moree u can get a ball bearing turbo thats brand new no old stuff??

[sinistaGTR]

but the stock one bolts back up with the original water and oil lines and look stock and, hi flowed turbos are pretty much brand new lol.

[Zas)-(]

but its limited to what 250 rwkw ( n is that straining? )

incase u wanna put more mods bigger power even for a show u can keep da garrets for more power..up to him but for an exdtra 3-400 he wont ahve to buy a brand new one when n if he goes over the 300 rw but thats if he is...

i dunno thats what i thought but i could be rong

[sinistaGTR]

if you want over 300rwkw (comfortably i know theres ppl running stupid amounts of boost with gt28xx making over 300) you need a gt30 series and theres a lot of other mods needed aswell, whats your power goal wizlb

[BHDave]

Need to know you power goal or intended usage before making suggestions.

zas, either a high flow or t28 based turbo is going to be limited to 250-260 rwkw anyway. For more than that a gt30 sized turbo is needed and they start about 1700 new.

On top of the 28 based turbo price you would need lines, adapters and possibly a revised dump so the price goes up.

Best bang for buck would be a slide highflow, best bolt on option would be a gcg highflow (this is my opinion based on running a gcg highflow followed by a similar sized non bb turbo on the same engine. The transient response difference is huge at small to mid throttle openings even though full boost hits about the same time), for more than 260 start looking at 3071's and 3076's for 300 plus

I want the KW @ the wheel to be 225 to 260.

Do you guys think I should get a complete bolt on turbo kit or a turbo upgrage, and if I just get a turbo upgrade will I have to do or get anything else for the car...ie..manifolds, cat back, dump pipes, things like this.

Thanks for you help ppl!!

If you jump in the RB25 turbo upgrade thread (it's a sticky) you'll see everyones output and upgrades.

Great reading....

Thanks for the info guys.

Now just a little more help.

I have settle on a Garrett GT2860R, but is this a bolt right on turbo for the 96 gtst sii?

And if now what else will need or should I get a garret turbo kis?

[Devils_Advocate21]

Better going the Garrett gt3040 as this will be able to get what you want then injectors then fuelpump then plenum then traction and suspension the brakes good luck With these turbos most will bolt to the factory manifold just need aftermarket lines the gt28 series will bolt up fine the 30 series depends what one u go for and you should be ok

Cheers

If I get the GT3040R or the GT2860R will I need a FMIC?

[turboedsloth]

it wouldnt hurt to get one as you'll probly want to up the boost wen youve got it all bolted in. an its easier to modify the cooler piping with everything out now

GCG Hi-flow.

Direct replacement for your stock turbo. 250rwkw.

Dont need no "kit" thats 3k. Just a few hundred in labour

Too easy.

[BAMR33]

Average power is so much better than top-end power. IMO screw anything bigger than a hi-flow for a street driven car.

I'd buy my GT30R again anyday, GT3076R/HKS3037 ftw!.
