Hey all was wondering wat turbo would be better for a street application wit the ability to goto the track an tear it up on a weekend?? i currently have the gt2860 (-7) an am makin 450hp atw.. are they capable of more?? cause they have amazing response an make a nice street car.. or would it be appropriate to bump up to something bigger such as the gt-rs! to see atw figures of 500-550hp. An are the gt-rs really as laggy as ever1 makes them out to be??

thanks korey

Are you on a stock stoke 26? If so i dont think RS's would be the right turbo for a street set up. Even myself on a high compression 2.8 litre im sometimes wishing for slightly smaller turbo's because im caught "off boost".... Gets retuned this week so see how much better it is. 2530's at the biggest on a stock motor IMO.

Well that was the other option the hks stroker 2.8lt, but your sayin that your even caught off boost occasionally wit that set-up?? i was talkin about the 2.6 but strokin it was another option if i went the Gt-rs.. wat are the 2530's equivelent to?? the gt-ss?? the gt2860's are slightly larger yeah? with the set up your runnin being stroked wat rpm is boost coming on wit the gt-rs's on??

Last tune it was 1.65 bar at 4700 RPM. However, I will reply again on friday and its getting retuned. Alot of stuff has changed (catback, plenum, boost controller, better cat) so I have a feeling this will drop a few hundred RPM. The catback made a HUGE difference (kakimoto Full Mega N1) Its going as good as what it was before on 1.3 bar. Going up a hill in 2nd gear with 3 people in the car and jump on the loud pedal at 6500 RPM and it will break traction. Give me 5 days :(

Mate - ive said before... Please use the search.

GT-SS, GT-RS and every other bolt on turbo from garrett/hks for a RB26 is soooo well covered you really need to do a bit of your own homework rather than have people spoon feed you.

Once you do search, you will find there is a turbo in between GT-SS & GT-RS - The Garrett "-5"/HKS 2530... more info on that specific turbo than any other on the forum

Thanks.

    • Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.
    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
