Sr turbo question!

[240sxguy05]

K so i'm bout to put the stock S13 Sr turbo manifold back on my car. I have an s14 zenki with s13 sr. Wanting some feedback on the setup, which is going to be stock cast bottom mount with Gt2871R. I currently have a top mount presicion SC34 but things lead to other things and it's not going to work out but that turbo and tial 38mm wastegate will be for sale, lmk if you want. but just wanting some feedback on that setup. what numbers have you guys seen on safe tunes. just curious. thanks!Chris

which one the 2871r or the sc34?

[240sxguy05]

The Sc34 I have on the car now and is for sale.The 2871r is going on the car with stock manifold. looking for 300 whp safely. Curious of longevity and capability of the stock manifold.

for sure u can get 350 safely if u wanted, i have a friend that has that turbo and is making325-350 at 14psi safely and still running rich,thats my next turbo i currently have the s15 gt28r im about maxed out on it little over 300 at 18psi after that just dosent work effeciently

awesome that's what i figured. i was just curious about the stock manifold. aside from flow, if it had a breaking point that anyone has seen. i'm really looking forward to this turbo!

[da40]

well he had the stock cast iron manifold for a year or so and the only reason he switched was cause of the flashy factor not the durability factor

[240sxguy05]

that's good to hear. thanks for the feedback man. anyone else's is welcome!

I'd recommend sending the manifold and turbo to Jet Hot to get them blasted with their high temp coating. It's very affordable and increases longevity.

[240sxguy05]

yeah actually that's my first plan. I'm getting the manifold and turbo done. I've got a place in arlington (local) thats as good as jet hot and like half the price! thanks for the advice guys anyone else?
