What Do You Think?

[Manuel Kasko]

Hey guys

Car: r33 Gts-t Rb25

Just wondering what you think about the GT2860RS as a bolt on upgrade.

Im running pretty much stock with an Exhaust and Fmic

Also splitfire coils.

Ecu hasnt been programed and im just looking for something more reliable then the stock turbo.

I dont want it to blow up and stuff up my engine so im thinking the Disco potato would be a pretty nice little upgrade.

Thanks

It'd be cheaper + Better to just get your stock turbo high-flowed. Get it modified to suit your needs. I dont think a GT2860rs is the best turbo for a 25.

I been reading up about them and they seem to only suit SR20's or twin turbo formation.

Know of the costs to get your turbo high flowed? is it reliable for a stock turbo.

My main worry is running 13 pound on my stock and blowing it up and damaging more parts in my engine

Talk to "hypergear" on these forums. They will recondition your turbo, change the ceramic exhaust wheel to steel and machine the housings to allow more flow and more power and safe to run more boost to.

PM hypergear or give them a call (google search will give you the site)

Thanks heaps mate.

Just checked out the website and found a pretty nice one for half the price.

430HP R32/3 xIU Turbo

Cost for Standard high flow is $800 + GST High pressure actuator optional

[paulr33]

the challenge you have with going for a larger turbocharger is you will turn up the boost

then you need a clutch, fuel pump, ecu and a tune

you can always recondition the standard turbocharger to the same specs

that is, bascially a highflow (its the same thing) without highflow spec parts

Seems like highflow is the way to go

Thanks guys

My old high flow needed a new fuel pump, clutch, injectors and Ecu... High flow isn't a cheap way out either...

Hypergear currently has options that suit both basic and extended setups (stock injectors/afm to big injectors/z32).

The technology has come far enough now that you can run a HG turbo on 14psi and make good power and response that will max out the injectors and afm, and you can then change the injectors and afm and turn it up to 20psi and make big turbo power. Its a good thing.

FYI HG's old G1 highflow was close to 2860RS specs, but it would be alot cheaper doing that than it would putting an actual Disco on. Reason being the Disco uses a T2 flange and 5 bolt dump, skyline is T3 and 6 bolt. The highflow will retain factory position so your existing manifold and dump will bolt up.

Well said GTScott.

SargeRX8, a hiflow turbo can be all sorts of different specs depending on what you ask for. You choose a large hiflow so of course you need those other things.

[89CAL]

Exactally

You could rebuild a turbo to stock with steel wheels if you wanted. Not sure if you'd call it a highflow but it wouldnt go bang on 15psi which is what he is after. My gt2835 Kai ran fine on my old tune up to about 11psi, just cramming more boost and flow pushed the tune to new cells

[Manuel Kasko]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Yeah im just pretty much looking for something that is reliable up to around 11-15 psi.

The stock one does the job but I just dont want it to fall apart under the pressure.

Not looking to upgrade the injectors etc till the bank account lets me.

But yeah basically dont want the turbo to blow up and cause me huge issues.

[Manuel Kasko]

Just emailed the guys at hypergear about costs etc

Thanks again guys
