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:

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
