Ok i know i might get flamed for this but i have had a look around and i can't really find much and answers im looking for.

Long story short i bought this turbo off a mate that converted it from bolting onto a SR by putting a OP6 rear housing on it, whilst doing that he rebuilt it and got it highflowed by Adelaide turbo services.

Turbo is no blown and in my possession and im at the point where im going to get it rebuilt bigger or to similar specs soon, only problem is im not too sure if i should go bigger as im chasing midrange and more responce.

The engine is a rb25 so i know what you are thinking "why more responce" i shift around the 4-6000 rpm and ill be using the car for hill climbs and motokahanas once shes all back together. The turbo was on his rb25 and he said it would spool up really quick witch is what i am after.

The turbo from what i can tell is a 2860rs with a .63 rear housing. Doing some searching this turbo will choke on a rb25 up top end but im not chasing top end power.

What type of power should i expect from this turbo if i rebuild it to it's current specs?

What do people recommend if i decide to go bigger? Something around the 3071r 3076 etc?

Anyone got dyno print outs or have fitted one of these to their car?

I have attached some pics below:

Thanks

His post was not pointless...

What he is saying is that the rear housing and wheel has a ... LOT... of room.

This means it could potentially be quite laggy, and for such a small compressor - its sorta the worst of both worlds.

You'd be better off with a 3071, or going smaller to say a HKS2530 size turbo if you really want response (220rwkw).

Being highflowed in the past means it is no longer a GT2860RS.... it just has the RS front cover, who knows whats inside.

It does look poorly sized at the moment. If it is blown I recommend you send it to Hypergear and have him fit one of his CHRA into your housings. Should cost less than a full turbo.

If it is not blown I recommend you work out what spec it is then sell it used. Put that money towards a hypergear SS1PU.

    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
    • That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
