I've just got off the phone with Jp I'm getting the Uas engine mounts . Thought why not go something I know was used on a high performance car
here's the write up from the tech section, so yeah been done clicky Did it myself the other week, very straightforward.
Ah awesome, I'll add this to the list of things to do when pull my engine for the turbos was wondering what I'd have to do to run no cam covers...
OK.. SOOO , i may have been made a very good offer on some 2871's .. $100 more than 2860's.. should i stick with the 2860's or move up ? i guess someone will say "depends what you want the car for, high HP or street use. BUT a set of 2871's with the smaller houses and cams would still hold streetability wouldnt they ?
The problem with the GT2871 is that the compressor wheel is getting too big for the exhaust wheel . This creates huge back pressure With a small exhaust wheel and large compressor wheel, your letting air in that can not get out when the two wheels are spinning the same speed. The compressor is pushing, but the exhaust wheel restriction limits the flow and they fight. All the best turbos in the real world have matching wheels on both sides. So you will make more power at the expense of lag ! Personally the only one I would use is 49mm (48 trim).next size up from RS..and what I had in my highflows good spool with a little more topend than GT28RS. but guess what they dont make a bolt on kit for us. The US only market the 51mm (GT725)or 53mm(GT800) because peak horsepower figures sells turbos . your choice .... based on a hp figure or usable power
That's why I was thinking this Turbo might work OK, notice the larger exhaust wheel ... question mark on the quality though. Compressor Map looks good.
