What turbo are you using on your SR

[mystacarlo]

I want to change from my stock T28, and im wondering what turbo's are ppl running on their SR's, besides the gt2871r.

The road here in Nassau arent very long, so running a big turbo like a gt35r is a stretch. What do you guys think?

Internally, all ive changed is bc cams 264 in/exh

[singlecamslam]

big ass semi turbo.

[MandTPhotography]

An S15BB or a GT2860/GT2871 is going to be your best bet unless you are going for big power.

If the 2871 isn't enough, look at a 3076 or something.

Personally, I have a fucking T25 and I hate my life.

[lazysk8er2]

it depends if you wanna change the manifold/go rotated because staying t2 limits your options. and dont quote me but i believe the 2876r is the biggest you can go before you need to go t3 or t4 style flanges.

the 2871r has many different types of varieties...and also precision makes hybrid types as well. i wont go into the specifics but the reality is for daily fun driving they are more than enough for the average joe (and sometimes too much power for the local dumbass).

the possibilities are enldless and needless to say it depends what kind of power you are looking for and what style flange you wanna be. and then adding the supporting mods and tuning after the upgrade.

dont feel bad, power is very over-rated. you can have a motor setup that is complete tits, and be a fail-driver behind the wheel.. needless to say you know what the results are.

furthermore, you can spend all that time and money on one aspect of the car, e.g. just motor, and have a car that is loose like a hookers twat and difficult to control.

if you ask me, a lot of the folks on the forums (me included) and improve their vehicle's performance by doing simple things like spending more time behind the wheel AND/OR more time tuning the entire car and not just the motor.


with all that bullshit said, i run a stock s15 spec-r turbo.

[Dousan_PG]

i use a 3071r

its cool. but top mount so lots of other stuff need to get done

if i did it all over, 2871R

[s13silvia123]

i'm running a greddy 18g/20g hybrid

i've use to have a GT2876R and a t28

[fliprayzin240sx]

I've used GT2871R, GT3076R, T04S and now installing a GT3582R.

[Red Square]

running hks gt-ss for a few years. have brand new gt3076r lying around, but dont really have a excuse to change it out yet.

[heiyuu]

went fru two t25's, now going gt3071r

i wanna try a twinscroll gt3076r with race gas or meth thou. maybe next summer.

[stealthsr20]

2871 all the way

[lucky7]

i cant imagine needing more than a 2871 on the street. i dont really have any SR experience, but i have to think that a 30r is going to be pretty laggy on an SR?? i have a 3076 on my rb25, and its pretty good. but any more lag and i would loose my mind. that may sound crazy to some people, but im just not big on turbo powerbands.

[AznDrftr.]

^theres ways to decrease turbo lag...

t25 --> 3076r

[tprsilvia]

running a borg warner s256 twinscroll. top mount so you'd need to do more.

[VQMaxFan]

Hks T51R


lol jk.

hks gtrs

Very true.

I was out cruising with a friend last night and he has a built SR + 60 trim making pretty big power and I realized that while it would be awesome to make 500+, I don't want a car with more power than it can put down.

I'd be happy with around 330whp, anything else would be excessive. Plus, I like to have some kind of response and that car is ultra laggy.

If I had a choice I'd have a Spec-R turbo or a PE1420.

[garagelu]

This may be true for some people but I guarantee that most people, once they upgrade to a mid-sized turbo, it gets old after a while. Eventually the craving for more power always sets in. I ran a 2871r w/stock cams at 325hp and then went up to 400 with cams. I've had a 2871r setup for about 2.5 years. I'm going to want to go to a 30r next summer.

One day you will be racing another 240 with more power than you and you will say damn, I'm going bigger.

[Z33dori]

yea if you want to make power, but still have a mostly usable power band than your best bet is GT3071R/76. Tho i've seen quite a few motor sets pushing righ under 400whp on GT2871R .86 a/r. which is really impressive, but i'm sure that turbo is running near its limits all the time.

i do believe gt2871r is the best and most usable turbo for a sr. b/c with .64 a/r you can make pretty decent power, and have very low lag. or bump it up .86 a/r and just about make 400whp.

I really enjoy driving my buddies car. Stock SR with s14 t28 and walbro fuel pump . Same lag as T25 but way more punch. I plan on running S15 turbo on my motor. Low lag, 300+whp will be plenty until i graduate from college and move up to a real track set up.

[rc1honda]

2871r .86. i really haven't had time to really drive and get on it, becuase of fuel problems, but from i have felt it's going to be more then ill even need for the street. My car is so light and having over 350hp is a lotta fun. Anything more and im sure i will get into alot of trouble on the steet.

[S14_Kouki]

i have evo 8 turbo :) twin scroll

[OBEEWON]

2871r.

22PSI +272 cams = highway fun

[BostonDriftah]

s14 spec r turbo.
20psi.

lag is less than you would think... nad once power is on. your golden.
its a $650 turbo from nissan.

get some 555ci and a z32 maf. I can email you a rom tune. freeeee shits legit.

[mystacarlo]

everyone is suggesting the 2871, so guess thas the reasonable way togo

[Grenade180sx]

im running a s14 turbo on a stock blacktop. at 14psi im making 256 to the wheels, and people swear its a built car.. power is all in the tune even a T25 can make u say wow with the correct tune

[BostonDriftah]

im running a s14 turbo on a stock blacktop. at 14psi im making 256 to the wheels, and people swear its a built car.. power is all in the tune even a T25 can make u say wow with the correct tune

true...

I had 14 psi and it was decent on t25 sr.
with a tune.. and good motor / turbo. its fun!


again like someone said.
power is nothing unless you can handle it.
Ive had under 300 hp for long time. less power is more fun.

[SilviaSR20DET]

how much power with a good tune are you guy's putting down with a t25?

[MandTPhotography]

I put down 241/248tq on a dynojet, stock T25 @ 15lbs. Just a downpipe, FMIC and exhaust.

[S14_Kouki]

everyone is suggesting the 2871, so guess thas the reasonable way togo

Every one says a 2871 cause u can bolt it to a stock sr manifold and make high 300's with mods. Its the easiest way to go thats y everyone goes with the 2871

[mystacarlo]

I wasnt worrying about easiest really, i was jus wondering what other options i had besides the 2871, to make easy power. Because i have a top mount manifold already, i want the car to be in the 350 range and ima be usin meth injection, so im jus lookin for suggestions.

[driftage240]

im runing full race t/s manifold and t/s t3 gt3071r 76ar its spools up faster than my old t2 gt2871r 64ar... yes i said it i love the response and the kick ... lag is almost non existent...

[usdm180sx]

Had a GT-RS on my s14 and stock t25 on my s13. Going with a 2871r .64 for the s13

[STR8E180]

i normally recommend the GT3071 for SR20's our workshop demo car ran 11.8 with standard internals all it had was supporting bolt on mods for the turbo

on my personal car i run a turbonetics GT-K 500

[azndoc]

You know what I find funny about power?

People who build a car with 5-600 horsepower but can't afford the tires for drifting, road race, or even daily driving.

That is all.

[jspaeth]

An S15BB or a GT2860/GT2871 is going to be your best bet unless you are going for big power.

If the 2871 isn't enough, look at a 3076 or something.

Personally, I have a fucking T25 and I hate my life.


Hahahah this made me laugh....

But seriously, that T25 on the SR felt AMAZING when I was coming from a stock KA


Now running a 2871R 0.64 A/R with supporting mods but stock head and manifolds......around 300 ft-lbs and 320 whp at 17 psi with a smooth powerband.

It really is a nice turbo, but it would be nice if I could keep pulling harder after 6000 RPMs.....cams and Greddy IM coming soon, hopefully.



With alot of power, letting on and off of the throttle, I would suggest making sure your car is pretty stable.......i.e. do some serious suspension mods first.

A 20g twin scroll will do 450whp at around 18-20 psi depending on the cams, tune, ect.

[fliprayzin240sx]

went fru two t25's, now going gt3071r

i wanna try a twinscroll gt3076r with race gas or meth thou. maybe next summer.

How is that GT3071R working for you??? :wavey:

[fliprayzin240sx]

Nopes...looking at 380-430 ish. 450 and up, you're looking at 25Gs. Got two folks here doing just that. One got completely stock bottom end, fully built head with solid lifters and tomei cams making 460whp. The other one is fully built bottom end bored out to 87mm, tomei built head with all tomei goodies making 490whp.

[lflkajfj12123]

so much POWER

[anton1o]

t518z w/ td06 rebuild kit, 240rwkw @ 6400PM, 19psi @ 4300RPM. Can make heaps more power but now its time to chase response :)

[S14_Kouki]

Really so what is a super 20g that can max out at 500whp??

[smelly240]

btw i run a gt3076r with 272 bc cams at 25psi

[smelly240]

Yes. I am the steve

[S14_Kouki]

So steve who may I ask built your set up??

[heiyuu]

How is that GT3071R working for you??? :wavey:

I'm trying to sell it to pay for a powerlabs twinscroll set up lol.

Otherwise, it makes the panties drop lol.

lol.

[smelly240]

I do everything myself.

[S14_Kouki]

^^ Well clean up your engine bay and fab up a new hot pipe

[Sileighty_85]

I do everything myself.

Is that a GTIR Intake manifold?

How is that blow thru MAF holding up?

How much boost are you running?

[S14_Kouki]

yes gtir and it says 28psi

[mattro]

i blew my t25 so i went all out on the motor and went top mount t67.

Lol. Sweet guys at holset made the rear ones studs and the one a bolt and nut and the other a bolt.

Clean up hotpipe? The turbo couplers direct to the intercooler. If you mean the turbo outlet it doesn't bother me at all the way it is.

I'm maxing out the z maf so I'll be goin to the lightning and going back to drawthrough when I get one of those 90deg flat/low profile intake pipes from vortec.

I def prefer drawthrough. Also I still run no bov.

I have a stock t25 but i like the way Disco potato sounds so maybe eventually ill get that if this is not enough lol

[S14_Kouki]

^ your buying a turbo by the way it sounds??

[steve shadows]

Best turbos for the SR20DET

GT3071R, GT3076R, GT3582R

Best way to get the most out of all the above turbos with an SR

1. dont buy into the Greddy IM madness, keep your stock IM
2. Modify your stock im to use a Q45 TB
3. Use a lightened Flywheel, lighter drive-shaft and lighter clutch unit
4. Don't Over do your injectors, buy just the right size, i.e. 740 for 3071R, 800 for 3076R, 850-1000 for GT35R
5. Less un-sprung weight the better, that means LIGHT RIMS, especially on the drive hubs

This will add up to a VIOLENTLY fast spooling and complimenting setup.

For example I would love to see someone on the board do an SR with Q45 TB, Lightest Flywheel from ACT + ACT Clutch Kit, CF Drive Shaft, Super Light Volk Rims, STOCK Intake Manifold.

The car would spool up 20 PSI of boost before 4k rpms and the rev would be so violent that the car would probably be hard to drive.

I would guarantee that this setup at 400 whp would be faster in a straight line than a 500 whp car with heavier driveline parts and larger laggier IM and turbo.

[Sileighty_85]

Steve you know anyplace that that will weld a Q45 T/B flange on to the stock SR intake manifold?

I was just thinking about this 2 days ago when i came across 2 Q45 TB in the junk yard So now i got one for the RB and one for my SR.

I've been wanting to keep the Stock IM for my low end and increase flow into it.

Do you know how well that will work out?

[driftage240]

^^^ cant i just use the tomei bb tb? instead of the q45?

[Sileighty_85]

^^^ cant i just use the tomei bb tb? instead of the q45?

if you wanna spend $700-900 for it, when a $27 TB from a junk yard does the same thing.

I belive you still have to weld a flange on(or it uses some kind on double bolt on flange) and port match it.

[sr20drifter1]

If you need very good response on short distances, I will go with Garrett 2860 or HKS GT-SS. I used to have HKS2540R. It was good,but a little laggy. When I drove TF Dave's Coupe, I was blown away by the car response. It had a HKS2530. It was so fast and fun to drive. I then switched mine to HKS 2530. I put Tomei step one cams and retuned it. I hit full boost at about 2000 to 2500 rpm. The only thing that's left to do is a Full Race bottom mount manifold for better high end. I hope you get what you're looking for soon. Good luck.

[Black240Ct]

im getting into this myself
s14 sr
Greddy easy cams, elbow and down pipe
tomei mani
right now im running 15psi on a stock s14 turbo with a stock tune

looking into a 3071r-wg bottom mount or a 2871
the car is used for drifting. debating on the best set up for this
should i run a 3071 or 2871
looking for good response not super high horse power

[smelly240]

2871
street cars work good with those...

[S14_Kouki]

Fuck Full Race ill build you a better manifold for cheaper

Also steve shadows its not always the best to have the lightest drivetrain as poss. You dont like torque??

[SixSpeedSleuth]

GT30R Twin Scroll and Love it.

[mystacarlo]

i went with an old school Turbonetics t3 60mm front wheel and 59mm back wheel, bought it of $300 off a mustang guy.

Made 404whp and 321torque @ 21lbs on a dynojet

[Grenade180sx]

im a guy that loves lower boost levels(less headaches) and good power. T2 flanged turbos make me happy my old HKS 2530 was AMAZING. even at track like horse theif i was up shifting into 3rd on the downhill and didnt have any trouble chasing 400whp cars.

[mystacarlo]

i made 296whp at 13lbs and is fun on the road, and i manage the traction issue with sum 275/35R18's in the rear, so all i hav is solid pull to redline

[docrez]

I just orderd a Borg Warner/Bullseye S256. Spools a little later than the GT3076r but it has way more top end potiental. I'm also .20 over...

[pinkarrowsnow]

welll heres some words of advice just sold my built ka t3 60 trim decently sized turbo to a 98 sr with vtc the ball bearing 28 and holy shit the car is amazing with this setup i love it bearly any lag plenty of power 450cc injectors z32 maf jim wolf tune its awesome maybe will do bigger injectors and 2871 but who knows i love my car all over again big turbos arent that cool and this isnt my dd btw

I run an S15 turbo on my SR. 323WHP/278TQ @ 14PSI. Super fun setup. Fast spooling and nice power on the streets.

[Patrick Bowering]

I am just about done my build. It is a twinscroll gt3071 .78ar, stock s13blacktop, isis intake mani, haltech standalone and 740cc injectors looking to run 14-15psi. Does anyone have anything along the same lines? Just curious about what numbers I will make. It should be getting tuned within the month so I will post up a dyno sheet after tuning.

[huffandpuff00]

(GT28RS)Disco potato .86 would work nice with your cams.

[airhead]

s14 bb turbo @16PSI i believe

still looking to get z32 maf,550cc injec,tune,FMIC. see how that goes

or i might just get tune and FMIC... idk yet

[S14_Kouki]

I have now upgraded to a evo9 turbo :)

[sirfallsalot243]

Currently: Bone stock KA

Just bought a redtop this weekend, and I think I'm gonna skip the t25 entirely and just go with an s14 t28. I can pick one up for 200 bucks, and the motors already out. Might as well.

[1_Bad_Silvia]

pretty soon, ill run GT2871R .64AR...should bump me to 400hp range with 2 fuel setup..thats enough for a daily s14.5.....

[XnTroubleX]

Piss on the small turbos!!! Borg Warner S300 T4 TS 88/75 1.0 AR 67mm!!

[Odysseus]

what is your motor setup?

Redtop SR20DET
Eagle forged rods
Supertech forged pistons
Supertech piston rings
ACL bearings/thrust washer
Apexi 1.1mm headgasket
ARP headstuds
Brian Crower 264 in/ex cams
Brian Crower valvesprings/titanium retainers
Tomei rocker arm stoppers
Apexi Power FC with Commander
ISIS FMIC kit
ISIS 3” turbo elbow
Megan 3” downpipe
Megan 3” test pipe
Custom 3” exhaust with HKS Hi-Power canister
Megan turbo manifold
S15 turbo
Z32 MAF
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Deatschwerks 550cc injectors
ISIS intake manifold

Those are the major things I suppose... 14 pounds is pretty conservative for this motor..
