Garrett The Middle Point

[Hadouken]

Hey all.

Let me start off by saying I have done a lot of reading. And I mean lot of reading about which turbo is right for me.

Basically it has boiled down to me wanting response and a good level of power.

I even found that 13 page long thread about 7/9 5 gtss. It was great for the first couple of posts but then you had to start sorting through the pissing contest the emerged.

So if I only wanted response I would go the -7's and if I only wanted power Id go -5's or bigger.

But the middle point is for me I think.

Now to my question.

Is the 2860-9 equivalent to the HKS GT SS? (I keep getting snippits of people referring to them as equal, or in the same league if you must)

What rpm is full boost achieved?

Is the 300kw range achievable with this turbo?

Thats all I want to know, Unfortunately with my supreme googling powers I could not find a definative answer.

Thanks for any help

-7s and -9s = same same (well not exactly but close enough to make the point moot in this case)

expect 320-330rwks out of either

full boost would be a few hundred rpm more than standard

Yeah 300-320kw out of both -7/-9 easy, -5 is a good option is u have a rebuilt motor as u can push it harder than u would want with stock

For reference I'm running gtss, full boost by 3800rpm @ 18psi, pulls very linear all the way to the limiter

as per sig and the rb26 turbo upgrade thread is what you want to look through

most of them have dyno plots which shows you the "boost" ramp which is much better than guessing "boost" build rpm

Thanks guys. That was quick and painless

Also thanks paulr33 I visit the rb26 dyno thread almost every day, so many pages to get through haha.

And I like youre sig. Answers all questions .

Cheers again
