Experienses with Garret GT2871

[R34 lover...]

Hey everyone

my org ceramic turbos are dead
but this gives me the opportunity for new tubbies

so what are your thoughts about these turbos
and what power are they best for
as I can understand, they have a smaller housing at 0,64 like the n1 turbos, where the 2860-5 are 0,84 housing

according to the company that sell these in denmark, that will give me boost quicker than the 2860-5

They won't - they are good for around 800hp in twin form and are basically a next step up over GT2860-5s, if not more than a step up. They'd be substantially laggier.

The 2860 -5's use a .64 exhaust housing. The 2871R -10's are one size bigger than -5's so they'll be laggier as Lith says and you'll really need a 2.8/3.0 to get the best out of them.

Do not listen to the company in Denmark.

They also will not fit NEARLY as easily as the 2860's in any config. If you are choosing the Garrett line, use the -7's if you want stock like response, and use the -5's if you know how to shift gears and want a good dose of power.

The 707160-10 is a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger turbo than the -5. It has the most lag of the Garrett skyline bolt on turbos.

If you want quick spool than the -7 or -9 is a good choice. The -5 is a great choice for a high powered daily driver.
