Thread: turbo options..

well, we all have definitions and thresholds of what 'laggy' means. Granted, I went straight from a T25 to this 2871R so it's a little more extreme, but FWIU, the 28RS spools quite a bit quicker than the 2871R.



lol, ya, not going over 2500rpms seems to have caused my engine to start burning oil..

well the 28rs does spool up faster thats a known fact, but the 2871r makes more power for almost the same spool up. now i will say that even if you compare the t25 to the 2871r the t25 will be faster.

im also running cams and a ton of other things so my faster spool could also be comptributed to those other factors. at 1bar i seen full boost at like 3500rpm which isnt bad at all.

the disco will become a baked potatoe, french fries, mash potatoes if it trys fucking with 718r .86.

stratton.

I see full boost by 4k rpm. S4 cams. Starts building around 3200-3500.

yeah thats not bad, i run the hks step 2 264/264 which i like, the s4 are good too though. personally i would take a turbo thats going to make great power and more power, over a turbo that is going to top out at lower whp but see faster spool times.

I run a 2871r right now on my GTiR zuki... The turbo spools good for what your looking for.

The question is how much do you have to throw down on a turbo?




Chris.

maybe since i literally daily drive my car(my only car) is another reason why I think I would have been happier with the 28RS.

in a few months, ill let you know how my T3 .63 turbine 2860rs works out.

Wanna trade for my T28???

honestly no more than 500 at this moment but i'm still saving my money (college student budget) lol

i'd love a 2871r or a 2860

i have all these spare parts, i would even trade my full long block with everything for a damn turbo lol
