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 .

    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk
