Mortal unfortunately but IMO GT2860RS every time .

These are difficult to beat for the power outup they were designed for which is probably around 320 + Hp .

If you don't have control of your engines fueling and timing then yeah go for the GT2860R .

Don't want to go too deep but wheel wise a GT2860RS is GT"2530" but with a slightly smaller trim compressor (62 vs 63) but greater exducer tip height .

They also use (were intended to use) the larger of the two turbine housing sizes (0.86 A/R vs 0.64 A/R) .

SR20 people who don't have the means to tune or can't/won't accept that more advanced timing where necessary really wakes up an engine with the larger housing use the smaller housing - which chokes the engine .

The feller that spec'd this turbo (JC) used to work for Garrett in the US and wanted something for his circuit Miata (MX5) and the GT2860RS 0.86 A/R is the production version of what he put together . He needed a turbo for his BP18 that would be responsive without being restrictive on the exhaust side and that is what he got .

I had possibly the first one sold in Aust and used it on a street FJ20ET which worked really well .

These are not a numbers turbo for bragging rights but they make an excellent torque in the sort of rev range most 2L engines are driven in .

There was an article in the June 2003 Sport Compact Car - Project Nissan Silvia Part II Behold the Potato .

I'm sure if you search you'll find that one and it has most of the turbos details and pics , and how it was fitted to a JDM SR20DET in a USDM S13 .

Hope this helps , cheers A .

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
