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.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
