Hi guys .... need some info, input, graphs if possible on the following question ...

Tried to search up some info ... found stacks of gt2860 -5 threads .. not many gt2871r threads ...

Base -

1 - R34 rb26dett engine standard internals

2 - poncams stage 1, 800cc injectors, 044 fuel pump, fpr, aftermarket exhaust, boost controller, aftermarket ecu, twin plate clutch

3 - R34 standard fmic, R34 standard oil + water pumps

Which 1 -

1 - Garrett GT2860 -5 aka gt2530

2 - Garret GT2871R aka gtrs

Which turbo would you choose and why ... from what i have gathered so far -

1 - gt2860 - 5 is responsive and makes about 350awkw on a stock rb26dett motor with supporting mods .. however the power is linear, so doesn't feel as though its moving as fast as it really is in conjunction with the weight of an r34, and feels as though its not pushing real hard towards the red line ...

2 - gt2871r is a little bit less responsive, however makes an easy comfortable 370awkw with a lot more potential however its not soo good to push a healthy stock rb26dett engine too much past this power level, otherwise you can kiss the motor goodbye in the near future .. Power is more aggressive and you can feel it .. and pulls effortless all the way to redline ..

- What is the max healthy power figure and boost figure that an unopened r34 gtr motor can handle without much issues?

- Roughly what rpms do each turbo make full boost by [about 20psi]

- Does any1 have graphs of a gt2860 -5 vs gt2871r on unopened rb26dett motors?

So yeah .. basically which turbo is better and why ... comparisons .. pros and cons .. do's and dont's

Cheers

Hi Jase

Please have a go @ the search button.

-5's (2530 eqiv), -10's (GT-RS equiv) and -9/-7 (GT-SS equiv) are so well covered in depth, as are the limits of the stock motor and so on.

There is a RB26 dyno thread with result upon result, please have a look and a further go at searching as there is only so many times people can answer the same questions.

Thanks

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
