Hey everyone,

Im possibly about to purchase a pair of Garrett 2860-5 turbos. Can anyone tell me the differences i will most notice with either 0.64 and 0.86 exhaust A/R's. At first i didnt realise but now i have been informed you can choose from the two A/R's on the exhaust housings. Keen to hear of what either will do to overall power capability and response. I have my guesses but it would be nice to hear from people who have actually tried and tested them. If anyone has any other turbo options with similar capabilities at a similar price i would also be interested in them too. I want to keep the twin setup with the stock manifolds.

Thanks in advance,

Deren :D

Ok. Thanks for that. I guess my stock capacity wouldnt help anymore either! Anyone else got an opinion?? Sounds as though the .64 is the way to go but maybe someone has a dyno graph for each?

Thanks

.86 rear isnt that big..

i had a 1.15 rear when bought it on my t04 changed it to a .84 and now its fantastic spools up very similar to standard with none to minimal lag.

every turbo and rear is different in lagginess etc. Garrett website should have graph's

.86 rear exhaust housing on a single turbo maybe BUT not 2 of them, its like using a 1.3L engine to spool up a GT2860 with a .86 housing

Deren,

Have you considered what the power and responses you want from your car afterward?

Maybe look at the gt-ss kit, almost the same price.

In saying that and tossing up which turbs to buy myself, I have a pair of new 2860-5's sitting here in my office waiting for christmas to fit...

i'm looking at getting the GT2860-5's myself.

who stocks them for $2500?

i was planning to get them thru super cheap auto, staff discount brings them down to around $1100 ea.

however the garrett website says that the 2860-5 comes with the 'compact 5 bolt' turbine outlet (which won't fit standard dumps) , but the 'turbine housing option' is needed to keep your dump pipes.

I'm not sure which SCA stocks

hope it helps

Standard capacity 2 x 2860-5, PFC, dumps, injectors, "Spec R" Cat 3inch zaust. 430RWHP @ 1.3 bar, lag...pfft,just be in the correct gear. Go for the .64. If your going down down the road of new turbos go the dumps to...Tomei if you can afford.

Ususal Suspect..theres a pair in the for sale section

Hey heller44, would you mind checking the ID tag on your 2860 -5's. Apparently they are now badged as 2560 -5's but still have the 2860 -5 specs.

I did look at the HKS GT-SS turbos but after a comparison i found the garrett 2860-5 will flow more with nothing lost in response.

A garrett 2560 is a turbo designed for the SR20DET. I fitted one about 6 months ago.

I was planning to get a set of CES racing dump/front pipes, similar design to the trust ones. Its a combined dump/front pipe but its assembled in 3 pieces.

Im a bit concerned now that they wont bolt upto the standard dump pipe flange design?!? Can anyone confirm this? I have my doubts that it will be an issue.. Better to be safe than sorry though.

Who sells them for $1200 each? Keen to know..

Thanks guys for all your input :P

Deren, I'm pretty sure that the 2860R-5 will bolt up, they were sold to me as a "direct replacement". If split dumps are your preference why not go with the Trust extension front pipes a few guys on here claim good results with them although I'm told there seems to be a bit of a trick fitting them. Ring up a reputable tuner and see what they have to say. GL

I Thought the 2560 was the old name and the 2860 was the new name???

hmm... very interesting.

id tag says,

KJ 0134J

GT2560R

707160-5

Strange that they are still using what I thought was the old gt number even though the part number is the same.

Checked with the dumps that I have here and they match up perfectly, a set of secondhand old-style mines dumps, that will go nicely with the secondhand apexi front pipes... gotta love parts that don't wear out.

edit: Whats a 2530 kit going for now delivered? ~$3500? I bought my pair for $2540 delivered, and then had a brain fart and bought the fitting kit from nengun.. waited over 2.5 months for delivery but I have it all for significantly cheaper than the 2530 kit.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
