Garrett 2540 Feedback

Has anyone else here tried the garrett 2540 (gt2876r) on an rb20

what type of results have you achieved with supporting mods

[paulr33]

please do a search, this has been covered heaps. the turbocharger combo is extra laggy and there are more suitable units to use, support mods are required also

Everyone seems to say that the turbo is a mismatched turbo at the best of times. Quite laggy. On an RB20 I imagine it would be even worse.

There are numerous turbos out there that would be better.

just came accross one at the right price, what turbo would be a better option

also did a search and didnt find alot relating to rb20's using this turbo.

[paulr33]

nothing is a "good price" if its worse than what you currently have or gives bad results and may end up costing more. a more suitable turbo would be a hks 2530, an rb25 stock unit or a hiflowed unit.

whats your power target? theres a massive thread on rb20 top rwkw club in the forced induction section, should be easy to find

im not entirely up with all this 28 76r stuff and all the new garrett model numbers and stuff

how ever i know a bloke with a rb20 running a bb Gt25 440hp .7 comp cover .86 ex turbo is extremely laggy.. not the best combo at all best hp figure was 320rwhp turbo doesnt generaly hit full boost untill about 4500rpm or more.. and that power was made running big boost 25psi roughly but yer the turbo would be suited more for a rb25 but even than.. i still wouldnt run one as there are much better options out there
