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.

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

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

Will be on the car soon...

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

[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...
