GB: Garrett GT2860's

[JNS Performance]

FYI - got the car on the dyno today finally with the new 2860-5s - 300 whp at 5 psi !!! Why no more you ask? Blew the connections off the intercooler.. More on Monday.

Reg is a god lol Need updates on monday.

I might be interested in getting a few, but I'll give you details on how many later. June 5th is the deadline for ordering?

Your math seems off from my understanding: $1670 for a pair + $85 shipping + $40 customs = $1795USD. Did you calculate the shipping and customs duties per turbo?

June 5th is not set in stone for a deadline, if one guys wants to get in but cant pay till the 6th or 7th for example that is fine. No later than Monday June 8th!

Ya I screwed up the math, I charged $85 Per turbo for ship. Where it is actually $85 for both shipped.

Just need 1 more person guys!!!

The HKS versions of these turbos have shown to be better. Maybe that's part of the reason why they're almost twice the price, other than being HKS. Once the group buy deadline is past I will be looking at some prices on HKS GT2530s (US dealer preffered due to economy).

Franc, I can get you the 2530's also. $1800.00 per turbo + $95.00 shipping for both + 5% GST, Pricing in USD.

With today's conversion here is the breakdown.
- $3695.00 USD = $4028.65 CAD

$4028.65 x 0.05 = $201.43 GST

Total: $4230.08 CAD shipped to your door.

First choice for me is this group buy (2860R-5 x 2).
Second choice is a used set.
Third choice is break the bank on some GT2530s.....

As promised - here's the dyno sheet:

431 rwhp, 342 ft lbs, at 13.7 psi (fyi stock bottom end). BIG thanks to Jimmy, Chris and of course Reg at RCTS for helping me build such a fun toy for the summer! They provided technical genius, mechanical wizardry, and excellent customer service (answering about 60 emails!).. Nothing but good things to say!

That's pretty close to stoic... Wouldn't you feel better running richer on a stock block? The parts you have are more or less what I have waiting to go in... and much more. Obviously, you're going to go further and build that engine, run more boost? You should easily see 500+ WHP...

[DougTaylor]

I'm not sure what you mean by stoic, but I trust Reg (RCTS) with the tune. It has an HKS FCON ProV with an AFK so it can't lean out so is ok to run leaner. Does that make sense? And yes, if I decide to rebuild the bottom end it will easily make over 500 whp. Right now I like those rod bolts just the way they are..

I guess with the HKS unit, you can't go wrong!

I have a comment about this group buy. It was started when the CAD was at 0.82 to the USD... The CAD is 0.92 today. The price for us has gone down $160 for a pair so the deal is getting better. Need 1 more person otherwise I'm stuck without turbos for a while..

[JNS Performance]

If it comes down to it i will likely buy 2 more and sell them.

[NismoS-tune]

So is this a go?

[JNS Performance]

She is a go. I have 2 people on another forum interested. Just waiting to hear from them!

I will send a large email to people interested. Should be receiving that tonight.

Hey guys,
I'm in for this buy. I'll PM Braden and we'll work it out. Hopefully it's not too late.

[JNS Performance]

Hey Robert,

I expect everyone's paid up now since the deadline passed. It would be nice to get this rolling!

[NismoS-tune]

Has anyone tried the .86 turbine housing on the 2860R rather than the smaller .64? I'm just curious when they start getting useable boost compared to the smaller ones. Maybe the .86 would suit better on a larger engine (stroker?)?

[RGB]

I saw a post on gtr.co.uk that said the .86 housing starts to spool at 3800. While the .64 spools at 3400.
NismoS, what configuration did you get? I asked for 2860R-5 w.64 housing.
