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..

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
