Turbo GT2860RS

Hi all,
does anyone here knows something about them? or already use them?

i've been offered a GT2860RS at 700 euros so a little less than 600 pounds. 300kms only

i don't know much about turbos, apart i would like to have the boost between 2300rev and 2700rev/min
quick spooling and good spec to arrive between 300 and 330 bhp.

i want it to bolt on directly on standard manifold and standard exhaust...so does it suits to my requirements?

bargain if its a genuine one

I was running similar on my track car and at around 1.65bar will make close to 370bhp and spool up is super fast
nicknamed disco potato

a lot of people are reverting back to the faster spool units now such as the gt28r, 2860r, and 2871r all 3 are great tubbys

thanks bob!

about the flange, you can bolt all thes tubbys directly on the OE manifold?

i think so! the guy put a HKS wastegate on it (don't know if it's good or not...)
he paid 1300 euros for it + the wastegate.

part number looks like it's genuine.

i give a call to a turboshop in here to have a quote too with my requirements...i will see in the evening.

Bob sold me one a few months back an they are defo fast spooling so nice an quick out of corners. I love it an ive still gotta get it mapped so should be much better then too.

yep straight bolt up job really
if you have the one with 3'' intake then you may need to grind a bit off the gearbox bellhousing to connect a silicone coupler or fit around 3 ex manifold gaskets to move the stock manifold away from the block a bit but its not too much bother.



paul........yes told you they are good, glad you like it, makes a fair bit of difference over the stock tubby

interesting!
so your turbo begin to push at wich rev? 2000rpm?

cant remember now but certainly between 2-2.5k rpm

paul will tell you more as its now fitted to his car

this is the one i've been offered :


what do you think?

the only weird thing is the plate....garret is a honeywell brand and it might be wrote on it....

Yeah mine starts spooling about 2300 but i do have quite a long intercooler run. I bet with stock intercooler positioning like you fred power is gonna be almost instant.

 

if you do buy it fred, I bought on a few months back and got it fitted now, so message me if you want any help later on

Yeah mine had this stamped on it Fred
This was the turbo I initially wanted but got mine instead...

Mine was boosting at 2000 rpm tailed off at 6000 rpm was on its limit at 330 bhp anymore just heated it but what a turbo if acceleration and no lag is what you want only thing was 5th gear it tails off at high speed but highly recomend one

I had one on my mr2 it spooled up like a fucker the mr2 was running 380bhp with the disco on it wish I never sold that tubby

Ok i will break the pig so!
what about this hks wastegate? is it useful?

Its a actuator fred ?

yes but you need to find out what the spring weights are that's fitted in it as may have either 1 bar or 1.2 bar spring fitted which in a nutshell means you wont be able to run any less boost than the spring weight even if you run direct from plenum to actuator with a pipe and bypass boost control solenoid

If so yes uprated is good can hold more boost if needed

ok, is there any mean to measure the load of this? the guy will give me a spare exhaust housing with another actuator. he told me if i put this housing, it's like to have a GT2871R...who knows...it can helps!!
