Hey guys,

Im looking at upgrading my turbos. I just want to know the difference between 2860 -5s -7s -9s.

I want to keep them in the stock locations for the time being though. From what i have gathered the -5 will give me the largest top end. Also there is a turbine housing option what is the difference between the two and what is the better option.

Thanks for your help

The -7 is pretty much outdated. Same as an N1 turbo

The -9 is the same as the current HKS GT-SS turbos. A really good choice for a responsive 270-320rwkw with drop in 256 degree 9.1mm lift cams

The -5 is very similar to the HKS GT2530 and is good for 350-400rwkw with 260 degree high lift cams

They come with .64 turbine housings. The optional .86 turbine housings don't bolt up to GTR dump pipes and are a bit big for 1.3L worth of engine anyway. I could see the .86 working with -5 turbos on a high compression RB26/30 but def not a stock RB26.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
