Garrett Gt2876 Ball Bearing 440hp Turbo

[stocksy]

I was wondering if anyone has used this Garrett GT2876 BALL BEARING 440hp turbo on there Rb25? i had one on my own wrx, it was great. But i got a skyline now. I want a turbo so it spools fast and can give me about 250kw at the rear wheels...

Grab a GCG Highflow for that sort of power.

I think SydneyKids group buy for $1750 or there abouts is still running.

The GCG Highflows bolt straight up with no more to spend.

Buy something that doesn't bolt up and your up for another $200-$300 worth in sorting out silicon hoses and water/oil lines not to mention another $300 odd for a custom dump pipe.

yeh good idea, but the highflow is that ball bearing? cause i loved this turbo on my wrx. I want great midrange power and top. will that highflow be able to flow 250rwkw

[Cubes]

The GCG Highflow is a BB turbo and works damn well on the rb25's.

Do a little search for "GCG Highflow"

[stocksy]

i can get the gt2876 for $1500, and gcg $1750 and you got to swap your standard turbo for it... so i will have to consider... Wat bout Hybrid turbo's are they any good?

[Cubes]

If thats the case go for something you are familiar with..

The GT2876r should get you around 240rwkw.

[stocksy]

oh yeh not bad... wat other turbos would you reccomend for 250-260kw?

GARRET 3040 DIRECT BOLT ON THE STANARD MANIFOLD GOOD FOR ABOUT 250 TO 260 RWKW I HAD ONE ON MY RB25 IT MADE 255RWKW ON 18 PSI

Why would you want all that compressor flow when the hot side is unable to support it. Your trading nothing for............... lag.

What do you mean by unable to support it & lag there was not much lag full boost by 3500 GO BACK TO YOUR DESK PROFESSOR & STAY OUT OF THE GARAGE

lmao mr make full boost by 3500rpm keyboard warrior.

So your telling me the GT3040 .63 hot side will make complete use of the compressors air flow ability. hrmm why is it Garrett didnt release such a combination......

Its not just lag its also response that will be affected by running a large compressor.

For the power this blokes after a GT3071r will be perfectly fine, offer better response than the GT3040 and still make the power he's after.

I've seen a GT2871r make 240rwkw with stock like spool on an rb25. I'll try to dig up the dyno sheet from the dyno day.

If the GT3071R 56 trim (GT30 based) was capable of pulling ~310rwkw on an SR22DET, then there is simply no need for a GT3082R. (ie GT3040).

My opinion only (shared by most of the production engineers at Garrett in Torrence California) .

The GT3040R has too large in diametre a compressor for the GT30 turbine , it struggles to produce enough turbine shaft power to drive a high capacity compressor ie with that much sail area . This is why HKS only offered their spec GT3040R in the smallest available 82mm GT40 compressor trim - 50T , the Garrett marketed one at 56T is far laggier by comparison .

DO yourself a favour and stay away from the GT2876R , its the same deal only scaled down overall . I will confirm but from memory it uses the hopless TO4S compressor and only T28 flanged exhaust housing are available from Garrett . If it uses the cropped GT30 turbine I suspect it does turbine efficiency will be woeful . Same old story , long shot by Garrett to get more gas flow through the T28 turbine housing family and the concept failed to deliver . Only HKS exhaust housings work with the "cropped" turbine because they are GT30 turbine based castings dimensionally and have the right nozzle design .

Back in five .

[discopotato03]

Danger Will Robinson - avoid this lump . The dog turbo uses a 48 trim T04S compressor in large bulky heavy TO4S comp cover .

The turbine is not the cropped GT30 turbine but the normal high performance GT28 turbine .

I reckon T28 flanged anything is pointless for Skylines that use the T3 mounting flange on their exhaust manifolds . The real GT3071R , and no not the GT3071R WG version , should work well . Garrett now sells T3 flanged integral wastegate exhaust housings so they will physically bolt to the std exhaust manifold - provided the compressor cover clears it .

People have found the GT3076R and HKS GT3037 56T (same centre section and wheels) a little laggy on street cars , HKS also does a 52 comp trim version but they're thin on the ground in Aus .

The real GT3071R (insist on cartridge or CHRA no 700177-0023) is probably the best compromise unless you can afford exotics such as HKS brands .

You can find its details and pics at ATP Turbos web site .

So would that turbo(gt3071r) be the next step up from the GCG hi-flow?

And having bought it, how much extra would it cost to assemble all the parts to bolt it up on the weekend?Surely someone must make a complete package or at least a one stop shop where I could buy everything for a reasonable price.

[Cubes]

People do tend to push a bee's dick more out of them than the GCG highflows.... But they do cost a little more to get on the car.

No packages are available that I know of... Simply buy the turbo; suitable water/oil lines bolt it on and then take it to an exh. shop to have a dump pipe made up. Or.. Machine up your Skyline turbine housing to suit; by this time the machining costs even out with the costs of a new dump pipe. I know what I'd rather; a new dump pipe with the correct unmolested turbine housing.

[skylinecouple]

What about sticking with my hi-flow and adding a vg30 exhaust housing? Though I must admit the ability of the wastegate to control boost would worry me.Perhaps a slightly bigger ,say 1mm wastegate would help.Enough to flow 240kws at 17lbs.

[Cubes]

People don't seem to have issues with boost creep with the skyline turbo's.

[Dale FZ1]

Do a search on GT2876R. Jmac has this cartridge in his R34 high flow. Seems pretty happy with the results. Remember that spec has a higher flowing turbine housing (ie. larger A/R) than the R33.

What gear?

Street or dyno loaded?

There is a key difference there, its also on/off throttle response that is just as crucial as peak power.
