Turbo recommendations

[Hcr32typem]

Hey all,

 Ive got an R32 GTSt that im hoping to make about 225 kw at the wheels. Ive got an R31House tubular manifold with a T3 flange, 440cc injectors, and a Haltech Plugin Pro ECU.

Id planned on using an HKS GT2530 turbo but i was looking for suggestions of other turbos thatd get me to my power goal.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Garrett gtx2860 gen2 will easily get you there with ultimate response and would be my choice for your stated goal.

Gtx2863 or 2867 gen 2 will give you heaps more in reserve if you want to push it more later but you'll need bigger injectors.

If you want to do it on the cheap, a hypergear hi flowed rb25 turbo will get you there but won't be as responsive.

Im more after response rather than outright power. Ive driven big turbo RB20 and they make incredible top end power but theyre lazier than hell getting there.

 

Is the GTX2860 a T3 flanged turbo?

Valid question is valid. I think the answer is no, T25/8.

Can be bought with whatever housing and flange you want. Doubt you'll get one with a rb specific bolt on internal gate housing though. A mate of mine got one with a t3 and v band out housing.

Generic housings can be purchased through mamba/ebay

 

If you're after true bolt on, you'll likely have to stay with your original hks idea.
