hi everyone,
well here is my problem.

i used to run 2860-5 turbos on my stock 2.6 with tomei 256 poncams. pushing 1.3 bar, power was ok, estimated 550 or so, delivery was ok, a llitle late as I was used to the gtss turbos, but power at top was well worth it .

enine is stripped now, and cylinders 4-5-6 are too scored, so its time for rebuild, been ofered a very good priced 2.8 crank, so im definitly going to go for that. So, my dilema is:
my new engine spec is going to be 2.8 stroker with 270 10.8 cams (might go for 278 aussi made cams) and head built to take 9000-9500 revs. I would like to see 650bhp at the engine, i know the -5´s will push that, but, wont they run out of puff way before the redline? or can i just play with the cams? or would a gt35 have a flatter power curve at top, have about same lag time and push same bhp? thing is , if i sell all my tubing, manifolds, outlets, turbos, i would en up spending the same on new single turbo and manifold (i can make my onw tubing and downpipe)

any suggestions wlecome

650hp is t04z territory... nice spool on 2.8 with top end too

try the -5s you already have on your new engine..you will probably be very impressed.Going gt35 would be a waste of time and money in my opinion.If your not happy with the -5s, or get bored go big single..GT4088,TO4Z something down those lines

if you REALLY push the -5s, you can get around 650bhp. It'll be easier too, with a 2.8. I really like my turbos and feel that on the street, they are more than plenty - the car is so quick when the turbos are on boil that it's mere seconds before you run out of road, or into traffic, or both!

I just don't think they'll last long - my turbos have 15,000km on them, and frankly I'm a little surprised they've lasted this long!

Again, depends on what you are looking for...
I think the -5 might be a little short of 650bhp even if you really push it, but then you will still have lots of response.

Or you can go for the GT-RS for twin, and GT4088R for single.
You also have a whole lot of choice for single with the new range of billet compressor wheel from Holset / Borg Warner.

I can get you a New type Holset HX40 Turbo posted for Yen: 110,000 (paypal)

Its got a T3 flange with 14cm or 16cm Housing and will flow 700hp (compressor wheel is cast type) exhaust wheel is Inconel

I have an R32 GTR with HKS 2.8 stroker engine build with HKS stage 2 camshafts. OS Giken close ratio 5 speed H-pattern transmission.

It had HKS 2530's mated to it until they went faulty.
Fitted a brand new pair of Garrett 2860RS -5's.

HKS F-Con Pro & Apexi AVCR. Mapped by TR running 1.5bar boost, peaking at 1.7bar.

I am very impressed by the outcome of the Garrett units on a 2.8 RB. Pulls like a train, next to no noticeable lag - I wouldn't want anymore from her.

Yet to have her dyno'd, as just got her back, but I would estimate somewhere in the region of 600-700bhp at the engine.

Power isn't the key though, response and driveability is - as well as reliability. I would stick with your Garrett units. When mapped up correctly, I think you may be nicely suprised.

Send the -5's to NZ and get them rebuilt to these!
