In the process of selecting new turbos to suit 500~hp for street/track/drag use. I've looked around and nearly have bought some new HKS 2530's but the 2860's seem to be pulling some reasonable numbers. Anyone personally here making 500~hp with them care to respond about them performance ect?

Well they are basically the same turbo (2530/-5)

They will make 370rwkw no problem, same as a 2530.

Lots of results in the RB26 thread now with them, and anything that is "2530" applies as the same

So not sure whats left when there is plenty known already

They are not the same turbos as 25/30 as response and top end power will vary considerably but they are also nowhere near the price of 25/30's either. I have used them on a mates race car that i built rego 26R32 it came 8th outright in superlap and they are a good turbo especially for the price the car makes 497hp at all 4 wheels on 20psi boost with a set of tomei pon cams so they will definatly do the job as i would consider 20 psi not to be a lot of boost myself. I will be winding a bit more boost into them soon around another 5-8 psi with a retune and some bigger cams am expecting around the 550-570 hp@all 4. Graet turbos for the price in my opinion.

i watched as a GTR got tuned with these turbos(-5's), and it was really flattening off/boost dropping off at ~430rwkw on race fuel @24psi, so you could make your target power but you'll be really pushing the turbos hard

2860-5 are very similar to the 2530s

they make a touch less power compared to the 2530 and when pushed hard will make close to 500awhp

most people running these would be in the mid 400 range as pushin a turbo hard will shorten its life span

why not go a high mount big single external gate :P

So the 2530 loose bottom end but make up for it with outright power. While the 2860's come on earlier and drop off?. That seems to be the trend when researching.

Well by your own post, the -5's are doing exactly what 2530's do which is 370rwkw @ 20psi.

Sounds exactly the same ballpark to me.

And then they do 440rwkw on big built motors when pushed (see RPMGTR - which was on PULP and others)

So the results are sounding nothing different to a 2530, and from the info posted in the past about wheels specs are so on, there is little difference there either

Cheers.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
