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.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
