Extra stroke volume seems to help up the top, but the GT-RS's stroked wake up alot more than 2530's stroked. Mind you though if you ran 25pound through 2530's you expect the same sort of power as the GT-RS.

That's more the tune and everything else. stroker should bring on ALL turbos quicker... smaller they are the faster... so if its not matching then the setup is missing something... or gearing is different etc etc

So I've recently replaced my old HKS 2530'S with the GARRETT 2860'S-5. I was instantly impressed with the low down power.

Re: the increase in low down power, are you talking about how the car feels when you drive it, or the graph shape?

Why did you change turbos?

Car is making a shitload more power in the lower RPM range opposed the 2530's IE 20pound at 4k opposed to 5k. My rear 2530 bearings failed so I decided to purchase the garrets because of the cheap price and also rebuild both the 2530's to new spec

And they have been rebuild now and are ready to put back on but I prefer the 2860's.

did you take the sump off and clean it out? The ball bearings in the core assembly fall down the drain tube upon bearing failure and end up in the sump. These balls are small enough to pass through the oil pick-up gauze and end up making a mess of the oil pump (shattering the gears into several pieces).

Hey Brockaz..

Dont suppose you have a sheet with 2.8 with 2860's, like Gavs later combo.

I only have his initial run, which only made about 500hp and finished at about 7k.

He has another chart where he's made 550hp and revs out. Thats the only one worth putting in that graph.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
