Anyone Ever Hear Of A Gt3060r?

[gucio]

Hi

I have been searching for a pair of turbos for my gtr and I came across a pair of garrett gt3060r. I have done some searching and come up with nothing so does anyone know how these turbo compare to lets say a pair of HKS GT-RS or a pair of Garrett 2860 -5?

Cheers

Well a GT30 from the outset would be 500hp minimum, upto 600hp

so 1000hp in twin form, upto 1200hp

Thats a fair whack larger than -5's and RS's mate.

They would not be bolt on like the much smaller brothers... only high-mountable etc etc.

Dont expect boost before 6krpm if its 500hp's ea, and 7k if its the 600hp's.

Plus its ebay, i fail to trust any decent performance part advertised on there. You never know what your getting

Here is the link: Ebay GT3060r

If you could have a look and tell me what you think, cause I didnt believe it either but I would like a second opinion.

I cant remember the front end of my GT-SS, but they look like Garrett -5's to me

To small for a GT30XX frame, was too small.

Stay away is my advice, its not whats being advertised unless the 3060 is some new concoction to the market in the past few months.

You could always post up the question to the seller to provide more detail.

He has them listed as GT3060, so odds on he's got it wrong and they are GT2560 of some description. Normal type advice is to ask for the cartridge number and you will identify what they are without a problem. Clarify the ambiguity if you can, and there might be a decent buy for you. Who knows until you ask the questions of the seller?

Good luck.

in current garrett speak that would make them 1:1 compressor to turbine ratio! 60mm comp (presumably from a disco) teamed with a gt30 rear (obviously cropped to fit in a t2 style housing)

shame the pics don't agree with my theory

I'll leave it to someone more familiar with t25/28 turbos to comment on what they really are.
