What Would You Gtr Owners Do: Trust T517z Or Garrett 2860r?

[JUN R33]

Just wondering what would you choose if money wasnt a problem.....I know these turbos are worlds apart but, these are just the choices I have available to me......car would just see street use and the odd drag meeting...

[Beer Baron]

i wouldn't chose either. for low mount turbos for me it's either HKS GT-SS, HKS GT-2530 or Nissan R34 GTR N1 depending on exactly want you want from the car.

[JUN R33]

Arent' HKS 2530's hard to find new right now? the only ones I looked at in the past were GT-SS and the Garrett 2860R's...

[Beer Baron]

no you can buy HKS 2530s anywhere that sells HKS turbos. HKS still make and sell them.

[Blitz]

I wouldnt choose either of them.

Beer Baroness sumed up the ideal choices perfectly IMHO

i got the gt2860r -5 so ill let ya no how i go... there is a set of 2530 on forums forsale which i would have bought if i had known it earlier

[R31Nismoid]

2860

Nothing wrong with the garretts...

If they were around before i purchased my GT-SS's, i would have had the garrett copies without blinking an eye

[mines]

i will go for Trust T517z

2860

yeh well time will tell how they perform i got the not responsive 2530 type,but hey for bit over 2.5k sounds good to me

[JUN R33]

Did you get the - 5 or - 7 in the 2860R's?

I have now narrowed it down to either the HKS GT-SS or the Garrett 2860R -5....

[wrxhoon]

My choice for a stock engine HKS GTSS or R34 N1

Yep they are mine.

Awesome turbo's (as the Mines GT-R has well proven)

[Wheezy]

i will go for Trust T517z

Agreed, they are a verry responsive turbo and boy do they come on nice and smooth....

[Angus Smart]

.60 front r34 n1's not easy to pick up tho. the others are pretty easily avaliable and have me around about 400hp at wheels..

[R31Nismoid]

Agreed, they are a verry responsive turbo and boy do they come on nice and smooth....

Not from what i saw with Jacks car, having been in it, it was nothing nothing, power power power.

Not something you want if you intend to hit the circuit

[Snowman]

Yep Jack took out his 517z as they were too laggy.

[gun32gtr]

old school plain bearing 2 the t517z although hpi had a good read in there on them...

personal choice maybe

[JUN R33]

Just purchased a set of 2nd hand HKS 2530's *wink*

[gun32gtr]

wink wink very nice.. those the ones i hinted about.....

[JAGR33]

Agreed, they are a verry responsive turbo and boy do they come on nice and smooth....

Now you should go in a car with 2860R's and tell us what you think...

Yes I changed from T517Z's to 2860R's..

Yes I have MUCH more response..

The T517Z's were good for top end, more suited to drag racing, will make good peak power...

No I wouldn't change them for anything.....

No I wouldn't buy HKS items, the price of the Garretts are too good refuse...
