Reducing Lag Rb20 With 2876R?

[Dobz]

I noticed that there is a GTX2876 available, as if the GT2876 isn't bad enough, why would they even think of creating such a turbo??

What is garrett doing?

That being said I still think it has it's place depending on what sort of power delivery you want.

I put a gt2876 with a .86 rear housing I had laying around on my rb25/30 because that was all I had at the time. While the most I could squeeze out of it was a mere 260rwkw it had nice bottom end response.

Now I have a gt3076 I can appreciate the extra bit of grunt the 2876 had down lower even though it doesn't have the top end power of the 3076.

That being said they are terrible turbos to put on rb20 or rb25.

Because the GTRS turbine is only capable of pumping up to 280rwkws maximum so any thing that is larger then what ever the limit is, is totally unnecessary, bit like the 82mm compressor wheels on S14 T28 turbines that some Chinese manufactures dumped on ebay.

The GT2876x is probably useful when comes to mild V6 or V8 engines upgrades which you can run a single turbo manifold with half of the engine capacity to drive one turbocharger, while using the large compressor to force feed all cylinders.

Some web sites accidentally interprit Garrett's GTX2867R as a 'typo' and assume it's a GTX2876R. There is no GTX2876R.

Ifyou found a HKS 2535 laggy on a rb20 then there was something wrong with your setup or you need to find a new tuner.

It doesnt have that much to do with the tuner, u can only bring the boost on so much earlier with a EBC, the rb20 is just not the motor to go putting a bigger turbo on, its how there all put together, there a good motor, pulls all the way to redline, the 2530 is the best one u can put on it, killer response, good overall power. 2535 not the best choice.
