im getting this turbo for my gsr, skunk 2 IM. i was wondering if this turbo would be good for my application??
the one thing that i should mention is that its a .63ar...
ive searched and searched ht but didnt come up with n e thing..

all i want is a super fun street car...fast spooling....and im just looking to make 330whp.

can someone please give me some advice...lmk guys-mahalo from hawaii..

 

INFO on that turbo:



Best for:

Horsepower 250 - 360
Displacement 1.8L - 3.0L

Ball bearing
* Oil & Water-cooled bearing system
* Upgrade turbocharger for GT2554R (471171-3) and GT2560R (466541-1); turbine housing flanges are outline interchangeable
* T25 turbine inlet flange
* Great size for applications w/ packaging constraints
*

Ideal for smaller displacement engines making up to 360 hp
* Turbine Housing option available

I've heard good things about that turbo, should be able to handle 310whp no prob, dunno about 330whp, kinda pushing it

 

28rs can make some decent power....tonythetiger had one on his gsr with itb's and that car ran hardddd

 

so nobody eles running this turbo on a stock gsr?? lmk please idk if im wasting my money..im buying it from this guy on ht for $800 brand new..with t3 flange ...help a honda fanatic out ...i mean a honda BOOST fanatic out...hehe-justin

 

id get the .83 a/r turbine for the extra flow capabilities

 

well thats the same turbo thats on the edelbrock kit, on the carb legal kit at i think 7lbs on a stock gsr its putting out 250 whp. the track kit on 15-18 lbs it says you should be able to support 300-400 whp (but thats with building the motor)

so sounds like it should fit what youre looking for

 

I'm about to finish my build within the next couple of weeks. I was also shooting for 300-350 whp. I was going to get the gt28rs but after reasearching I decided to go with the gt2871r. It will give me a bit more room to grow in the future. I was willing to trade off some spool time for a bit more topend.

 

its a great turbo will spool fast and be a stop light killer but you should get the bigger a.r and you will not have to make the turbo work as hard if you make your set up more efficient as in head work or cams and such

 

It's not just about a housing, it only shifts the output slightly. For a b16, yes the Disco Potato. For a GS-R, I'd use the GT2871R or the GT3255b

 

yeah i know changing the aspect ratio of the housing from .63 to .83 wont net you anything crazy, but that little bit is worth the improvement IMO because its a little on the small side. The GT3255BB being a better choice overall. Spools quick, makes decent power, great powerband.

 

ive got 2871r on stock ls.. made 274 on 14psi.. fully spooled at like 3k roughly... just finished my built bottom end going to shoot for 350-380whp. great turbo tho!! cant complain

 

It's a fantastic street-turbo for a stock motor.

I had one with the .82 a/r T3 ATP housing, I'd recommend the same.

a) Allows for easier integration with the rest of your turbo system, and gives you the ability to grow with a future setup while not having to change your manifold (if you went with the .63 T25 housing.

b) I truly feel the .82 a/r is much better matched with a B18C. But as Mac said, maybe look into the 2871r as well.

 

Far too small in my opinion. Especially on a stock engine.

 

alright thanks guys...for all the imput...
so the .63 ar, is shittyER then a .8x ar..
what kind of difference would i feel?? between both...

and the gt32 BB? how much and where
the gt2871...quick spool??

i just want to be able to hit full boost at around 3k...

lmk about your opinions...thanks...-justin

 

wussup Justin! GT3076R! nah J/K! Go with what you want and what you can afford. Wish I could have given you a ride in my friends GT28 powered Civic before he crashed it.

 

ho...phil...i was looking for one but i couldnt find one with my price range...

idk man i think i might just stick this one out and get a gt28rs...

thanks btw for checking out my post...
thumbsup for great tuner....hawaiis BEST

 

how would my car feel if i went with the .63 AR

im asking because thats the AR the gt28rs has. (the one im getting)

im just saying... would it be alright for me to use that turbo with that AR??
lmk asap i need to send the money...today...-justin

 

anybody know??

 

NOBODY KNOWS...SHOULD I BUY IT OR WHAT...IM GONNA SEND THE MONEY...WITHIN THE NEXT 24HRS...LMK

 

This year i ran the gt28rs with the ATP t3 housing with the .82 a/r on my stock gsr with blox manifold/65mm TB. At 10psi i ran 12.0 at 120 on street tires. Most amazing turbo setup i have had yet. I am amazed every time i drive the car. You will not be upset with the gt28rs. If you have any questions just hit me up.

wow but what about the .63 AR...lmk cuz this is what it is...

 

.63 AR?? DISADVANTAGES FOR A GSR...???

 

?????????????

 

Go for the .63AR man, you will love it.

For your power goals, why not just go with a t3to4e 57trim, 63AR turbo? Spools FAIRLY quick, and sure is fun for the street! Yet, its cheaper!

 

My old setup made 330whp/250tq.

Bone-Stock GSR, Stock IM, Full-Race Stage 1GT Kit.

Car was going 12.4-12.6's in a full-weight DC2 on 22" slicks.

I really do miss that setup
