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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
