Hi Guys/Girls,

Item: Garrett GT2860r x2 Part Number 707160-7 (HKS GT-SS equiv specs) SOLD to SUMO BNR32

Condition: Perfect, only 4 days on the car. See pictures only taken a few minutes ago.

Reason For Sale: I was originally building an RB26, but am now building an RB30, so I need bigger ones!

Cost: $2400

(these are about $2900 to replace depending on where you go)

e.g. http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category12_1.htm

Item: Tomei Sump Baffle Kit SOLD to [WLDCRD]

Condition: Brand Spankin!

Reason For Sale: I have the sickness.. and so I am going for a Performance MetalCraft one instead.

Cost: $210

I bought these turbos because I wanted a fast response street car with a bit of track/club stuff in there as well. I think they are perfect for the job. However, after being on the car for only 4 days, the number 2 Piston's ringland went. The engine has been stripped down and so now I have decided to build an RB30 and these turbos are a little small for that application.

I have had the turbos checked out at TurboTech and I even have the VSR Balance sheet to show they are micky mouse. The turbos are more or less brand new and were run on Redline fully synthetic.

At the same time, I am going to the 8Litre Performance Metalcraft sump, so don't need the Tomie insert anymore.

(Also - had the actuators set to 15psi on each turbo)

Be good if this were Perth Pickup, but I can freight if need be,

Cheers,

Matt.

The Tomei sump is sold guys,

Turbo's still up for sale, and I can arrange freight for free.

These are genuinely brand new - run on the car for only 4 days, and $400-$500 less than what you'll pay for a new pair.

hi mate, was jus wonderin which model is it? u have written..."707160-7" but all the traders advertise either "707160-5" or "707160-10" cheers.

Yup - that's true. The 707160-7 is the smaller of the three and is equivalent specs to the HKS GT-SS turbos.

The 707160-5 is the equivalent specs to the HKS 2530's.

If you look on the Garrett website, you'll see they mention both the 707160-5 and the 707160-7 (but not the -10 for some reason - but as you have seen they do exist)

The other thing that confuses people is that these turbos used to be called GT2560r, whereas now they are referred to as GT2860r since Garrett changed their naming conventions.. so don't be put off if someone refers to these as GT2560r.

You can see all this info on these links:

707160-7

707160-5

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_707160_5.htm

And this link shows you the change in "naming" from GT25xxx to GT28xxx

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre.../gt_basics.html

But yes, to answer your question, mine are the 707160-7 because I wanted faster spool up.

Hope all that makes sense! I did a fair bit of research on all this when I was buying them.

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
