225rwkW @ 13psi. Responsive, torquey, easy to drive. Good upgrade, but I don't know how it compares to the HKS 2530 as I haven't driven a Skyline so equipped. Anyone who's driven mine is never unimpressed though.

Best suggestion I would have if you went to the 2871 is to acquire the Garrett unit and transplant the HKS turbine housing onto it to make it all bolt on easily.

Hmmmm.. Im getting 229rwkw @ 13psi with my 2530 at the moment and was looking to upgrade to the 2781 for 280~rwkw. Doesn't this turbo rate much higher than 225kw? I thought around 280-300??

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...rison_sheet.htm states that the turbo is rated from 250 (186kw) to 475hp (354kw)

I understand what you are saying about the housing. Either i get a stock turbo housing or use the HKS one?

There are three compressor trim specifications for the 2871. I'd say that for any of them the turbine would be the stumbling block from a mass flow perspective if you wanted better than 250rwkW. I'd say your HKS housing would provide a definite flow advantage. Buy a complete Garrett turbocharger, remove the T25 flanged turbine housing, and swap in the T3 flanged HKS housing. If you ran the 52 trim version, then you would have created a GT-RS.

Without getting into any of the max power debates, the 2871 is a good unit, but a 48 trim may not be a massive step forwards from the HKS unit you're currently running. Also maybe not quite the right spec you'd want if chasing 280rwkW. Something out of the HKS Pro S range, or a Garrett GT30 IW based unit would be my preference for that type of output.

Pulling up and old thread but with a related question -

I have a new 2871r and HKS 2530 housings.

My plan is to use the 2871 (GT-RS spec - 52 trim, 0.6a/r) with the HKS 0.64 T3 exhaust housing.

Is there a chance I will run into compressor surge issues on an rb25?

Has anyone done this and had good results?

Considering you've got the same spec as a GT-RS, look at the results others have achieved with them.

Expect good results on-road, and don't worry about surge with either the 48 or 52 trim cartridges. The larger 56T would probably warrant use of a larger turbine.

so if you have the RB specific HKS GTRS kit can you confirm what AR the T3 rear housing is? not that i dont trust HKS but id be a lil :) if its a .63

yet from what ive seen its such a gun turbo to have onroad.... guaranteed 250rwkw and massive area under the curve... excellent power delivery too.. Ooooh so tempting

OF COURSE it's gonna be .63 or thereabouts, especially knowing HKS generally put quite small housings on turbos. No point putting a T3 .82 housing on a little turbo like that IMO.

The GT3071R is a much more efficient turbo AND comes already with a T3 flange so will bolt on to stock manifold with a spacer plate and either weld external gate flange to stock manifold or get an I/W turbine housing. Instead of making 250rwkw on 18-20psi like a 2871, u might make 250 on only 1 bar and have potential for more power down the track.

really quite pointless putting a 0.64 AR rear housing on, will eventually just choke the whole lot.

you have an RB, i'd really not be worried too much about the 64 rear.

I'll be buying a 2871R with a 52 trim front and a 0.86 rear for my SR20. the lag difference is really nominal between them, and if you're really worried about lag, just slap some bigger cams in and you'll move your boost threshold up another 200-400rpm.

The issue with a 2871r is more the turbine size being too small to power the 71mm compressor more so than the housing size. Consensus amongst sr20 people is that the .64 is the housing to use - the .86 doesnt deliver on an sr20. The HKS gt-rs uses a .64 housing on their sr20 kit so this is an indication of what works best.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
