hey guy's just asking the turbo guru's here if its possible to correct the massive mix match in housing/wheel design that is present in the gt2876r... the turbo is strapped to a rb25 and is rediculusly laggy for not alot of power or "punch" spec's are :

Turbine

-Wheel: 53mm w/ 62 trim

-Housing: .64 ar

Compressor

-Wheel: 76mm w/ 48 trim

-Housing: .70 ar

4inch front mouth

its for a moded std manifold...

please no suggestion's of changing turbo's etc at this time, as i would like to explore the possibility for changing housing's etc...

say for example, 1 bar actuator presure. 2nd and 3rd gear approx fullboost @ 4500 rpm... this is untuned though, running old tune from std turbo, however i cant see the turbo getting anywhere below what i'd be happy with...

Your call but your not going to fix that thing with housing alterations , the only genuine option is a larger .86 A/R turbine housing and that will only give it more turbine lag .

The problem is it has a modern low blade count light weight 54mm diameter turbine trying to drive a dinosaur 76mm T04S compressor wheel . Changing housings won't alter the fact that its compressor is a really bad match for its turbine .

Why Garrett continue to sell those POS things I'll never know .

IMO it has to go if you want you car to be lots better .

Sorry , A .

Are you sure about that turbine trim? It should be the same as a 2871 rear end.

The only way you could make that turbo usable is to replace the whole front end. I would suggest .5 A/R generic t04e comp cover and backing plate, with a 71mm 52 or 56 trim compressor.

By the time you get the work done and supply the parts it'd be cheaper and easier to just find a second hand replacement 2871 on NS and sell yours. They all seem to be going bigger these days for some reason, you may even find a sucker to buy yours :thumbsup:

no way.......NS members are way too astute than to buy a 2876 - thats only something a skyline driver would buy :laugh:

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
