GTRS is too big - you really want to look at increasing capacity to use them, on a 2.6litre you would need to rebuild the engine to run enough boost to get anything out of them.

GTSS (Garrett -9's) will see you to the limits for an unopened engine. These will be ok with standard injectors and AFM's.

Not sure about drag times.

what about Garrett GT2860R http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Garrett-GT2860R-GT-...=item1e5efef943

its bit embarasing to enter with gtr to run high 13s huh

Nothing like public humiliation to motivate spending and upgrading then. The drags in a manual are still technique dependant.

That ebay price is very steep. Pair of turbos + postage is $2,860 (couldn't tell if they were -5, -7 or -9)

By them from Kudos motorsports, he seems to have the best prices and best service in my opinion.

If your in sydney I have a pair of brand new in the box 2860-5's that I'll part with for a bit of a discount on new price.

You can run 11's on the factory turbos.

If you do not have a spare 20k, then FORGET buying GT-RS.

They are a 450rwkw+ turbo combination, which requires a myriad of parts to back them up.

but can stil use them in stock aplication for few months? on low boost with upgraded injectors and aftermarket ecu?

im beeing sucked by my mechanic into ems buti think haltech could be better then ems or apexi?

Wait, you dont want lag but you want a pair of GTRS turbos??

Sure they will let the car run, but yeah, as Ash said, need massive amounts of headwork, careful cam selection and spin to 9500rpm etc etc, otherwise they are a dog of a turbo on a 2.6

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
