GT2876r to big?

[FastFwd]

Anyone running a GT2876r on a b16a? I came across someone selling a second hand one in good condition for $900 and im thinking about buying it. Rather a Gt2871r but for $900 its a decent deal on the 76r.

[Limbo]

i believe i have a 76r be but my setup is not finalised.
Luke has the 71r so we can have some sort of comparison in the end.

Wat happened to the RS?

[FastFwd]

selling it. the turbo is half through its life so i thought might as well sell it now whilst im doing my rebuild plus i do need something a little bigger to get 300hp atw's

[Limbo]

give it a go. If worse comes to worse you can always swap the turbo if you don't like it.
It will give u the power you want.
From all i've read its just the lag that's the biggest factor.
But you have to rem, from a hi-comp motor the lag is not that bad apparently.
I'm still getting mine together, and main i got it is also cos i got the turbo cheap.

I've been reading around and alot of the lag problems are people with s15s complaining.
For them the lag is abit more.

Here's a comparison, the guy i brought my turbo off told me on a stock ca18 boost kicked in at 4krpm.

Judging by our car is should come on about the same mark if not slightly earlier.
I can live with 4k boost. :)

[FastFwd]

full boost at 4k? or starts spooling at 4k?

[Limbo]

full boost at 4k, but i think his issue is that his motor is not as high revving, i beleive it redlines at 6.5k

[FastFwd]

full at 4k...ohh thats pretty good. I used to run a t04e and this sh1t box started spooling at 3500rpm. But when it came on it was solid.

[Limbo]

yeah that's how this one is also. When its On its ON!
I got an LSD and longer ratios which will hopefully let the baby spool out

I picked up a APS SR40 Front & Garrett GT2871R Back 0.86 for $900 brand new :thumbsup:

Will be on the car soon...

3 weeks as I have people to payback before I can afford the tune :p

[FastFwd]

Lukenzen how did you score that?

[Limbo]

i told him about it...
should have scored it for myself LOL

[FastFwd]

Dammit i been looking for 5 days straight now and there are soo many of them on ns.com and other large forums but for some reason i always just miss out on the sale.

I've got everything else on my build sorted except this and its annoying me :| semi wanna rage...

[Limbo]

lol, it took me a month to find one also, and i found luke's at the same time.
Its all luck of the draw

[Lukezen27]

Lukenzen how did you score that?


Hao found it on eBay but as not may people know if APS I got it hell cheap..

APS use mostly Garrett parts but build to diff specs

Yeh i know i want to...if my gt28r sells then i will deffinatly buy a new one but i spent 1g 3 weeks ago on the car then realised rings need replacing and then i bought new lsd, new clutch new pressure reg etc etc now and then turbo will put me over 3g just for random rebuild.

I can get the gt2871r with 52 trim and all bolt on with my setup for around $1300 brand new. So if my gt28r sells then i will do that straight up.

[Limbo]

that's how cars are, always bloody expensive!

Just like your woman!

[FastFwd]

my womans fine...she fends for herself fairly well...altho i had to buy her a full body kit, including fitted and painted for her s15 for her last bday. twas worth it tho

[Limbo]

hahaha
I had to give mine my Enkei Racing S ;(
She's looking for a body kit for her EU civic also, pity they are not common

[phantom_civic]

I find the Gt2876R a decent size, depends which rear housing you got.
Mines got .86 housing and everyone says its got massive lag lol.

On what motor?

[phantom_civic]

One point eight

[Lukezen27]

One point eight

Its the comp I'm interested in :o

[FastFwd]

Yeh i've decided to wait till my gt28r sells and just get a new gt2871r with either 52 or 56 trim and 0.64 housing.

[SLOWEGG]

Mate go get a GT30 you'll love it. My mate runs a GT35 on a stock b16a and its fine, fullboost about 5000rpm. With just AFR adjustments its making 186kw i think, still has timing to be done etc.

[FastFwd]

yeh gt30 probably a better way to go but for street 2871r is more ideal for nice power and quick spool.

[Limbo]

180kw should be easy with a 2871r

[FastFwd]

i was gettin 240hp - 180kw at the wheels with my gt28r on 7psi. running it upto 20psi ill no doubt get the 300hp atw's and over marks.

Hopefully :), we'll see after the fresh rebuild.

[Lukezen27]

So my goal of 160lw ATW shouldn't be a problem :thumbsup:

[Limbo]

wow u made more power than i did that's for sure i only got 162kw on 10psi on a GT28r, but you've got a build motor isin't?
