In A Turbo Pickle Help Me Choose.

[Curmi]

hey guys well i have 2 turbos at home a r33 higflow and a garret 2876r. .86 housing.

now i had the garret in and was laggy but would have been good with supporting mods z32, injecters etc.

so some mates say put the highflow some say put the garret.

its a daily/drifter i am looking for 220-240kw with all suporting mods.

so tell me your expirences and what you would put on.

and is cams stage 1? nessacry i think yes for the garret.

please help me choose

depending on level of highflow i think it will only get around the 200kw mark, not too sure about the other turbo, is that disco potato ?

[Curmi]

higflowed turbo has made 240kw with supporting mods and is bush baring not ball bearing.

[bbe]

with the garret just get cam gears mate and get everything else up to perfect running order, great spark, everything heat wrapped what not. Garret will always be able to support more later..

high flows are fine but not really much of an upgrade..

im doing 230/240kws with a hypergear highflow...... runs mad!!

[Curmi]

yeah i am leaning towards the garret more but not too sure atm. really hard choice.

i want the highflow but i want the garret too lol arhhhh.

i will get stage 1 cams, cam gears, spitfires, z32, injectors, fuel reg. and i have the other supporting mods.

thats rb25 right?

rb20 differnt situation..

if i had a rb25 i would put the garret on for sure. better response and wouldnt be as laggy on rb20.

We can machine your R33 turbine housing to suit your GT2876RS. So you have a GT2876R that boltons on to your R32. Due to the small size of its rear turbine housing this turbo would be super responsive working with your engine.

sorry but what does that mean? so will i use the r33 turbo or the garret loz . bit confused.

are you saying use the highflow housing on the garret turbo?

the garret fits fine on rb20.

[hypergear]

Sorry I must mis understood. I thought you wanted to install a GT2876Rs to a Rb20 engine.

anyway, If the high flow was done to the R33 is using its standard 2IU rear housing then that turbo would be more responsive then the GT2876R . 86 rear. and still get you around 230rwkws

But the GT2876R .86 would definitly make lot more power.

How does the garret fit fine on the rb20, when they have different flanges?Are you sure its a 2876?

I have a 2876 and IMO they are a mismatch of wheels Who know why garret fitted a comp wheel capable of over 320rwkw to a small turbine wheel and housing which struggle to make the shaft torque to spin said comp wheel while giving high exhaust backpressure.

If the rb25 highflow will make 240rwkw on an rb25 then it will make almost the same on an rb20, just require more revs to do it.

[hypergear]

GT2876R is made for a V6 engine (I can't remember the word for it lol). IE. 3cyc goes into the turbo and force feed all 6 cycs. it will make abit more power then GT2871R in .86 rears not responsive.

[Curmi]

ADRIANO: yes i am sure its a 2876 and yes it does fit as i installed it on my rb20 for several months. was a bitch to install but i did it.

and no if the higflow makes 240kw on a rb25 it will only make 220kw on a rb even less.

iam now heading towards the highflow, only if it was ball bearing. being bush bearing i dont no.

[Adriano]

Im just wondering how the 2876 is a bolt on when it has a t28 exhaust flange, wheras the rb20 manifold has a t3 bolt flange, which are different, unless you have an hks exhaust housing.

[Curmi]

ok guys i have decided iam keeping the highflow and selling the garret so if anyone wants a big power turbo for there r32 or better r33 pm me and ill send you pics and info on it i have the manifold to suit this turbo you will need the manifold as the turbo wont bolt onto a stock manifold. i want $1200 or nearest offer pm me guys also have one piece dump/front pipe extra $$
