Extra stroke volume seems to help up the top, but the GT-RS's stroked wake up alot more than 2530's stroked. Mind you though if you ran 25pound through 2530's you expect the same sort of power as the GT-RS.

That's more the tune and everything else. stroker should bring on ALL turbos quicker... smaller they are the faster... so if its not matching then the setup is missing something... or gearing is different etc etc

So I've recently replaced my old HKS 2530'S with the GARRETT 2860'S-5. I was instantly impressed with the low down power.

Re: the increase in low down power, are you talking about how the car feels when you drive it, or the graph shape?

Why did you change turbos?

Car is making a shitload more power in the lower RPM range opposed the 2530's IE 20pound at 4k opposed to 5k. My rear 2530 bearings failed so I decided to purchase the garrets because of the cheap price and also rebuild both the 2530's to new spec

And they have been rebuild now and are ready to put back on but I prefer the 2860's.

did you take the sump off and clean it out? The ball bearings in the core assembly fall down the drain tube upon bearing failure and end up in the sump. These balls are small enough to pass through the oil pick-up gauze and end up making a mess of the oil pump (shattering the gears into several pieces).

Hey Brockaz..

Dont suppose you have a sheet with 2.8 with 2860's, like Gavs later combo.

I only have his initial run, which only made about 500hp and finished at about 7k.

He has another chart where he's made 550hp and revs out. Thats the only one worth putting in that graph.

    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian
    • He is around but doesn’t really do automotive stuff anymore, mainly does commercial work now 
    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
