Hello!

I realy cant make a choice on what turbo to pic.

I think i will run on a stock engine this spring. Then build it up next year.

My goal is to reach like 180 whp this spring, and next year around 250-260 whp.
The car is a daily driver, i will take it to some roadracing/auto x.
I wish to get a good spooling turbo that accelereate very fast and still have good midrange and a decent top. I want the car to accelerate fast out corners, dont need very big hp in track or the streets. So its useless for me to build a car that have 350+.

So out of those 2 turboes and my explanation, what do you guys say?

disco potato all day long there are other thing to increase accelration other than boost ie tranny, cam and cam gears so on and so forth

wtf is a disco potatoe?

Get the gt28. It spools up super fast as it is

i guess you didn't get the memo.

 

[Toddnos]

why is it refered to as a disco potatoe?

 

[ryan89crx]

why is it refered to as a disco potatoe?

I'm not sure but I think it started out as a hybrid turbo. Like a t25 turbine with a t3 compressor or something like that. Dont quote me on that though

 

[98_4drCivic]

gt28rs all the way...thats what I was going to do until i decided that i wanted more power :lol:

 

[Clutchmaster]

because disco french fry was taken

that's all I ever heard it called was that hell I new it by that name before the serial number

 

[kyle h.]

the name comes from the car it was originally featured on. a nissan sentra with a chameleon paint job. it was featured in a Sport Compact Car event (the magazine).

 

[Toddnos]

thanks kyle^^your so smart...

 

[Zoobi]

OK.

Where can i find this expensive "shitt" to a nice price
Or is it realy 1000 bucks everywhere?

 

[Skilz10179]

I'd go for the GT2560R, its a little more suited for your exact needs and should be a little more responsive than the GT2860RS.

It also will probably be easier to find a used GT2560R for a good price because it is actually a OEM turbocharger on Nissan SR20DET engine.

Ok i realy need some help. I realy cant find out wich one to get, gt28r or gt28rs....the rs cost 1000 bucks and the gt2560r (gt28r) cost 725.

I know the rs is better but it cost more, i just dont want to regret that i went with a wrong turbo.

Just wondering if i will be happy with the gt28r instead of gt28rs...
The rs got better midrange and top end, but is the different THAT huge?

Going to get a ramhorn and 2.5" downpipe and 3" exhaust.

And dont come with that " dont spend that much money" yadayada....plz!

Preciate you guys help!!

 

[The_Acid_Beaver]

The difference in midrance torque IS that huge. There is a stock block Z6 with a disco potato that is running very low 12's with this turbo.

If you think you can do better than this at any price, I think you are sorely mistaken:

Here is a lightly built Z6 at 10 and 15PSI:

[miro_gt]

get the RS of course ...

don't you know that this is the best street turbo for D-series engines

 

[Zoobi]

I know the RS is superb, but again it cost 300 more. So i was thinking if the gt28r will be good enough or atleast near enough to match the RS. Wont be hitting any more than 300bhp anyway.

Was thinking about this one. http://www.optionimports.com/garrettgt28r.html

 

[quicksilver_1689]

I thought it was called the disco potato because of its compressor map.

And what do you think about the compressor map?
