got a Garrett 2876r .64 offered to me for cheap as chips....

anyone know what it would be like on a 20? had a quick search, confusing results lol

I've heard they are no good on 20's. 2871 is the one you want. I think it's the 2876 that's a weird turbo, like the inlet and exhaust turbines are out of proportion, as a result it either has tonnes of lag, or no top end, can't remember.

yea, but then the occasional person reccomends as a good turbo for a 20....

im taking it to mtq tomorrow see what they say?

They are a bit of a dogs bollocks of a turbo. As others have said they are a mismatch. The 53.8mm turbine is even a bit to small for the 71mm compressor with a 2871 so with a 2876 you have the extra lag of the 76mm compressor but with no extra power to be made because the 53.8mm turbine is that limiting factor.

There are a few uses for this turbo but they are not conventional setups; like they are good in motor sport classes where you have a restrictor plate that limits the amount of air flow available to the compressor.

Garrett even give you a heads up on their info page for the 2876 where they say;

* Best suited for unique applications such as asymmetric turbo installations

* Not recommended for general performance applications

Funniest thing happened the other day.

I was coming home from TTP back to Lobethal and I was going past Inglewood towards Chain of Ponds.

I was stuck behind this RED Commodore with; Chev badges, aftermarket HSV kit, racing stripes over the body, and 20 inch rims.

He was going very slow and once given the opportunity, I ,quite quickly may i add, overtook the commodore and continued on my way.

I then got to the intersection of cuddlee creek rd and tippett rd (behind the dam) and low and behold there comes the commodore screaming up behind me with what appeared to be red LED's on the front of the lights like some sort of angry demon.

I then turned off at the cafe at Cuddlee Creek when the bloke slowed down and i then copped an ear bashing about driving "jap crap" and the extent of his intelligence then came out with "skylines are for poofs, get a commodore!!"

He then screamed away with his V6 with some sort of exhaust changing gears manually in his auto car.

EPIC :stupid:

Yeah i had some guy on my ass yesterday in a VT/X with a VY bodykit, some shitty rims, the guy had on white frame oakleys at 5:00pm in winter with a singlet. Speaks volumes really.

just received a phone call from my local member of parliment - amanda rishworth - asking for my thoughts.

quite simply had 2 comments to make, first of all Adelaide NEEDS a motorsport complex, and secondly the rate of the pension (barely) covering costs of living.

She said she would be writing to the Govt. to push for the motorsport complex and would follow it up & eventually get back to me.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
