Morning all,

I've just thrown a bit of new gear on and its time to get a bigger and better turbo. currently my setup is:

Pod

3 1/2" exhaust

Greddy Front mount

Greddy Adjustable Cam gears

On a GTS-4

.......i also have (but not on car yet)

Blitz SBC-iColor

Power FC

I made the stupid mistake of buying an ebay turbo (impulse buy), which doesnt fit at all, So i've decided to do it the right way and buy quality.

NOW, i DO want a quality turbo BUT i dont want to be spending 3-4K.

So i'm looking for some suggestions so i know what to be searching for.

Cheers!

I had a GTS4 with an HKS 2510 on it....yeah it went really good...but I am told that the 2530 is the ducks guts....Mine ran sweet on 1bar...Just wish the engine made more low end as not much there until 3500 rpm....hope that helps

there is a difference between the hks gtrs and the garret gtrs

now without getting into a slinging match as to whether a hks and garret turbo is or is not better or the same as a garret equivalent size item...

-the hks gtrs is very similar to a garret 2871

-garret calls its 2860 a gtrs which is also very similar in size to the hks 2530

i had the hk2530 on my rb20 now i have the garret 2871.

both are mint turbos for the rb20 with the 2530 a little better lower and the 2871 better higher (as you would have guessed) difference is very minor though and i only changed as i fried the 2530 and just went bigger with the new one (as you do).

i thought there was a sticky thread on here somewhere about the garret 2871 on different motors and which ARR and trim to choose

hope this helps..

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
