i want the hks gt2530 but as far as i can see there discontinued.:bawling:
so i'v been led to believe that the garrett gt2860-5 are very similar so i may have to go for these instead.So to match these as closely to the HKS 2530 turbos what spec do i need to order?

GARRETT gt2860-5
turbo :707160-5
chra :446179-51
?????????????????
turbine housing: is it the 0.64 or the 0.86 which matches the hks housing the best

are these numbers correct and can anyone confirm the turbine housing i need?

oh and lastely where do you recomend i buy these turbos from..?

Im 100% sure SubBoy runs these , PM him for part number.
Did you try "advanced search" ?
The part numbers / exact 2530 matching has been discussed before

Here you go

[thegosson]

but this still leaves me wondering which A/R size 0.64 or the 0.86 (turbine housing)

64a/r would give you more grunt lower down the rev range. The 86 a/r would be gruntier from the midrange onwards.

.64 housings are the -5s you want.rated 640ps,the same as the 2530s..
Iv got these on my car..brilliant turbos

btw 2560-5 is written on them..kind of strange !

 

[kuwait_r34]

i wana bye thes twin 2860-5 from whare can i get it ??

 

[spacesickrat]

You can buy these turbo's from R B motorsport. Cost looks to be around £1,450 + the dreaded at 1.5% part number from them is TDN7671605005S That number is for a pair of 2860-5. haven't got mine yet as the whole engine is going up there for a rebuild after my oil pump failed at 7000 rpm :-(

 

[spacesickrat]

Sorry typing error above. part number TDN7071605005S, My apologies

[alternatengine]

Mine is booked in to Rb's shortly and these are on the list!!!

The excitement is unbelievable!!

 

[LRP]

Mines now running 'running in period not been above 3000rpm but you can here them whistling up , sounds awesome cant wait to get her mapped and let all hell break loose ..

 

[fozi.g]

got these in mine. running 600hp @ 1.7 bar . they are an awesome bit of kit and suprisingly not laggy at all. as long as the cars mapped right you should have alot of fun....i was lucky enough to have Tweenie do my build and map:clap::clap:

 

[creedonsr20det]

ur a luky man to have had the legendary tweenie map your car!is the 600hp you have wheel or engine horsepower?

 

[fozi.g]

thats 600 at the wheels. i was told thats pretty much what you can expect from these turbos....they max out at around 600-620

 

[godzirra]

thats 600 at the wheels. i was told thats pretty much what you can expect from these turbos....they max out at around 600-620

isnt 600 at wheels like 700+ at the flywheel?

-5 make that much?

 

[fozi.g]

sorry i meant at the flywheel.....and not the hubs.

 

[godzirra]

tq i tot so... 600 at fly is huge anyway...damn u r lucky fella to have tweenie build and tune ur car bro...

 

[fozi.g]

yeah ure right i am lucky. Rob was a diamond geezer. one of those true genuine guys that you rarely find in the tuning industry and an absolute magician at what he done. he will be sorely missed. :bawling:
knew him for a good few years since when he was working at perfect touch.

with regards to the car it has been built to perfection. never misses a beat, just a shame due to lack of use i've put it up for sale. i think i'll be going to santa pod this sunday to see what times i will pull....spoke to Rob just after i collected the car and he told me he shouldn't see why i couldn't pull late 10's early 11's so quite excited about that.....will post up times on monday!!
