Getting a gt2860rs for my rb20. Pls help me choose the right exhaust housing.

I lean towards the .63, to help with the spool up. I think dispopotato3 said, that garrett engineers made the real gt2860rs with a larger exhaust and comp housing on purpose. So u could run more ignition advance in the low revs. And to free up exhaust flow at the high revs.

Need your input!

Thanks!

Hmmm. I've been looking into nissansilvia forums. And most of the guys run .86 turbo housing. And they get full boost at around 4000rpm. Confused again. Final: .63 or .82 ? Which one will yeld better results ? Still want it to be drivable, but don't want to loose the rb20 hi revs also.

Full boost at 4k for the .86 sounds about right, though to put it perspective a GTRS will make 1.4bar at about 4100 on an SR and make another 20rwkw over a disco as well.

I just got deja vu. I'm sure i've written a near identical response somewhere else....

You're better off with the smaller one. Note that HKS only make the 2530 in a .64 as well. It's virtually the same turbo as a disco except for a very slight trim difference on the compressor.

How much power are you after? How much bottom end are you willing to give up? what are the intended uses of the car?

Normally i'd say go for the smaller housing but as of late i'm more inclined to say since its going to be gutless down low you might as well make sure it screams up high...but as mentioned it boils down to what you want from the car...

The only purpose designed T3 flanged GT28 turbine housing for that NS111 turbine is the HKS one found on 2530's/2535's 2540's and GT-RS's intended for RB20 and 25 . The A/R ratio is 0.64 , Garretts 0.86 A/R turbine housing was only ever made with the smaller T2/25/28 flange .

If you can find a GT2530 kit from an RB20/25 it would be easiest .

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
