Thinking of getting 2876R....

[Rosco]

I like the 2871RS but in speaking with a local Garrett Turbo Dealer/repairman, he mentioned this turbo......2876Rversion 1:http://www.turbobygarrett.com/...1.htmv ... m/...2.htm

Advice welcomed, but please no talking out of your A$$...

Basically he said that the 2876R's compressor map is better than the 2871's.....He also said that it will spool slightly faster....

i was never able to find much info out on them. i have the .86 one but i do not have it installed and won't for a few months, or maybe not at all if i find a good deal on a topmount setup.

atp's site seems to have good things to say about them, but i am curious as well as to how it will perform.

[Rosco]

Let me know how you make out if you use it....I was gonna go 2871RS but I think I'm gonna go for this one instead. By the end of summer I hope to have it on and maybe even some numbers, but we'll see.

I was actually looking at this turbo... some sites say its only good for 350hp although garrett claims 480. They also all say its not for your general performance application. recomended for asymmetric turbo installations.... maybe i'm just dumb but i'm not sure what that means... can anyone shed some light on this????

Also I think i found a place that carries these for $899. I'm gonna call tom. to get all the specs of the turbo to clarify. If so i'll let you all know about it. This could be a nice little turbo I believe... I might have to take a little from my tax return

[karmakaze]

it means its for a twin turbo setup that has a smaller turbo and a larger turbo.

[flames5351]

ok a little update... The turbo they carry is the gt2576r. They have it listed at a flow rate of 44lbs/min. They told me to call their supplier to get the specs. The supplier which is precision turbo said it will flow 50lbs/min. The pic they have looks just like the gt2876r turbo. EXACTLY. Anyway I think this turbo would be a good suite for our motor at a little cheaper price.

jgycustoms.com carries them for $899

I'm seriously considering testing this one for us

[flames5351]

hmm.... I was on garrett's site and they don't list a gt2576r turbo... weird. I'm gonna do some searching. here's the link to jgy's site....

http://jgycustoms.com/240sx/turbos.htm

its the second turbo down on the left side

[Rosco]

Okay spoke to the garrett guy again with some updates.....Basically, this turbo is not just for twin turbo applications, it happens to do really well in those apps. though. In the 64 trim it spools 20% faster than the 2871RS, and is definatley suited for road-racing/drifting more so than the 1/4 mile. The local guy has sold 6 of them in the past 2 years with no complaints.....A couple of those applications include a WRX of which he took a ride in on a nice local windy road and said he could not detect any lag in between shifts.....I'm pretty convinced that this is the turbo for me. He also mentioned that he could do drop shipping anywhere in the US and he said if I can get enough ordered (meaning like 5 or more people), he would be able to manage a discount. I won't hold my breath for that though. I'm thinking about ordering it more towards the end of summer. This turbo has only been out for roughly 2 years and it is still relatively new, so it's not as popular as the 2871....(still a great turbo by all means). Anyway, I have made up my mind.

Great info man, looks like something to look into.

Anyone happen to see any dyno charts w/ this turbo. That or the 2871rs. Also, is there any power difference between the 2876r and the 2871rs

[karmakaze]

from what i have read, .64 is good for 420hp and the .86 is good for 480hp

[karmakaze]

the gt2876r and the HKS gt2540 are the same turbo.

i suspect that the gt2576r is actually a typo someone made somewhere along the line.

also note that i see the gt2871r's are listed as the gt2876r very often. in fact the shop i bought mine from thought it was a gt2871r with a t04e cover.

i think that the turbo will prove to be a good one, its just sorting through all the crap. i will have mine on in a month or 2 so we will find out. granted mine will not be a very good comparison as I am putting together a fully built cryo/forged sr22. although, if my s14 engine does not sell on ebay though, i am probably going to run on it for a while.

My first sr20 had the HKS gt2540r .86a/r fmic, greddy intake man, ebay tubular mani, z32 maf, apex gtspec 3.75in exhaust, 740ccs, blah blah. This is the same turbo in question here. It was TONS faster than my friend's with a stock turbo, but i never went to a dyno, so i don't have much more than that to compare it to. I was running a hks wastegate, no boost controller. it was kinda peaky, but drifting or 'running' there was no lag inbetween shifts. a hard down shift from 5th to 3rd will get the tires spinning. I broke a 6 bolt axle. young children cried.

I just bought a rust bucket with a worked/stroked sr20 with the same turbo, but not the hks version. from memory, there is no difference btwn the two on the outside of the turbo, except for the hks logo. There's a boost controller and it runs 14lbs. to be honest the power delivery still feels the same, slightly peaky, even with the 2.2 and headwork, but then again, its running way more boost.

When i was doing my research, this turbo OUTFLOWED everything from 3700 rpm to redline, up to around 16psi, then some of the bigger turbos took over, but i figured i wanted power now, not later.

The new car dynod at 377, but its only running on an safc (not my doing, and no i don't risk driving around, the car is waiting for better management) and the prev owner didn't know squat, the duys at the dyno shop actually had to get it to run the same day. butt dyno comparison, i'd say the first motor was around 310 hp with the above mentioned mods.

glad to be back on the boards and back behind an sr20...

er sr22

[s13eper]

i believe it was flowing at 9 psi what the s15 turbos flow at 16psi for some comparison.

[silvia_ca18det]

i got the same turbo...

GT2876R

.86 exhaust

4 inch inlet etc etc

paid 1000 US shipped and the thing fits awsome on bottom mount manifolds and i am excited to see it rip!

i heard mixed reviews about this thing but i called around and most people said it is not laggy between shifts, hell i blow on it with my own breath and the wheel spins for a few seconds.....or maybe i am just full of hot air?

PICS maybe :O

[Rosco]

Damn looks niice!!

[karmakaze]

i have my gt2876r on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...43446

[blackieblack]

i just called atp turbo and they said the gt2871r is a more ideal turbo for the sr. the 76r. has more power but doesnt spool as fast as the 71r.

[Rosco]

Well my Garrett guy said it was 20% faster spooling than the 2871rs.....we're talking .64 trim too....I think I'm gonna trust my Garrett rep.....I mean we are comparing two Garrett turbos here. Also, the 2876r is alot newer as well, why wouldn't they improve upon existing technology (2871rs)....Someone who knows how to read compressor maps should compare the two in .64 trim and .86 trim and explain the differances. Until then I'm trusting my Garrett guy (he has been working with turbos for the majority of his life and he is in his early 40's).

[blackieblack]

im probably gonna go with the forced performance big28. i called them and they said it will do 350rwhp at 23psi. its something different, and thats around the power range im looking for. and its under 1 G. anyone know anyone with this turbo?

Sorry but I think that turbo technology is a little old compared to the stuff that's available today.

[TchouikoS13]

Im hearing two different things here. One is saying that the 71 spools faster than the 76, while the other sames 76 spools faster than the 71.

Im feeling Rosco's word a bit more.

[blackieblack]

well goddamn. i guess im jumpimg on this bandwagon. gt2876r. atleast its new. and i just called atp and they said something different. they said they havent really had a chance to test it out on the sr but like mentioned earlier in this thread it should theorectically have better spool than the 71r.

[Mistaken]

Anyone able to do a spool up/power comparison on your basic sr setup? I would really like to see how much of a difference there is between the two before i order my new turbo.

I have yet to find any SR owners actually running the 2876R so far. It isn't as popular as the 2871RS. Without a doubt I beleive that either turbo would be a good choice for the SR, you almost can't go wrong with either but the 2876R (IMO and according to my Garrett guy) seems to be the better turbo.

[goj_cloud]

i think im gettin this turbo

[Rosco]

[Mistaken]

Anyone get one on yet? I'm a couple weeks out on buying a turbo and would like to see some feedback on one.

[Mistaken]

TTT... no one bought one yet?

[silvia_ca18det]

just about to start my motor up i will let you know how it goes

[Mistaken]

Nice!!! cant wait to see how it goes. Post up some videos and also what a/r are you running?
