gt2871

[chandler]

hey guys, Im wondering if the gt2871 will flow enough for the KA, I know its a gt28 foot print and all, but all im looking for is quick responsive turbo that wont really choke off at hiogher rpms, im gonna get some cams, when I decide on which ones. I know its not gonna make enormungus power numbers, but I want simple, reliable, and fun thats it

its not really worth it if youre paying 700-800 bux for it because its stilll small...spools quick though.. well i have one in mine and i like it but i kinda wish i bought a 2540 instead though..most people would say t3/4 is a better choice..

Small? in the larger A/R they push over 400whp.

The GT2871R has a 71mm compressor wheel, that is plenty large.

The GT2540R Garrett has a smaller wheel just in a larger housing... same wheel in the GT28RS. There is little reason why you couldn't put the TO4S housing on the GT2871R and see mid 400's.

well Im wanting to stick with an internal waste gate for the sheer fact its simpler for packaging. but I might change my mind

well I found that atp sells this turbo and a few that are a little larger, I dont want too much lag, but I dont want to choke off at the upper rpms, what about a gt25/40r heres the map, but I dont know how to read it, guru's please help(http://www.atpturbo.com/root/maps/gt2540r.htm)
