i was planning on putting a gt2860rs on my 5e and my tuner told me it was way too laggy wont spool up till 5000 rpm is this true?

Ay mate it's all about how it goes. I done a quick search and found that somesaid at 1.6 bar 380bhp is achievable on a 5e.

was that on a 28rs? i never thought it would make that much power.

hmmm i dout that, im hoping to be making full boost before then on a 4e, i guess it depends on what mods u got.

Yeah Ryan, a 2860rs, I think 1.6 bar is about as efficient as it's going to get, anymore and it will start going out of it's efficiency range.
Spool up on a stock 4e I'd expect it to be around 4700, bit of headwork and cams will probably get it down closer to 4000. Although a decent map will see it into the 3000's
 
remember head work like porting, bigger valves and cams will increase lag not decreasing it. its because of port velocities etc. all that stuff gives better top end at the decrease of low down efficiency.

if it helps at all i was getting 1bar on 3sgte engines by 2900-3000rpm, and i've done a bit of work with CVH ford engines, 1.6ltr and a really crappy 8valve head and they were getting 1 bar by 3500-3600rpm.

5e is similar in capacity and better head design

Hope that might enlighten a little

more inclined of thinking that head work would cut down lag ?

a 28rs wont flow more than 350 - and thats on a generous dyno.

If you want more you will need to look at the 2871 turbos.

the only thing i have done to my head is triple valve cut and port and polish standard 5e cams my own turbo is away getting a price for a rebuild if its going to cost close to what a new garett is i'll just go with a new turbo and i'll find out once and for all how good or bad it is
 
nope larger cams for example will increase lag. timing for timing ofcourse

i've had 365bhp on a 3sgte from the 2860rs but looking at the charts and experience i wouldn't go more than the gt2871r as anything above gets very off ballanced in turbine to compressor ratio. i've got a 2871 on mine up from a 2860rs and it doesn't have the kick, feels quite latargic in comparison yet made similar power. I'd be looking at the new range of GTX2863r or GTX2867r turbos, over the 2871r

im running a custom garrett gt28r quad ballbearing with hks wheel on a 5e. will be doin a dyno tune in 2 weeks. will let u guys know on how much power it can produce.
 
where was that done? never seen a quad setup on anything smaller than a GT40 sized frame. quad on such a small turbo would probably negate the purpose of BB and a normal oil journal would have gave faster spool

Never heard of a quad bearing, only in the last year or 2 have I seen dual bearings being at the forefront.
 
they have quad ball bearing on alot of topend drag turbos running stupid boost levels, or on diesel tractor pulling where they use dual or tripping compound turbo producing over 15bar boost pressures.

Like i said never seen to used in such a small turbo like a gt28, i can't really see any benifit as its just not going to see the loads of pressures that warrant a triple or quad bearing unit

This is the kit listed. bought it from sacha.
http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums...ake-manifold-e-manage-used-manifold-downpipes

btw the specs on the turbo that i got from sacha are as below, but i have my doubts as he is not willing to tell the full specs and admitted that some of the info he sent me arent true. dont know if it was business or what..

"custom WEPR garret GT28r hybrid with 60mm trim compressor housing with custom HKS 76mm compressor wheel and custom quad ball bearing centre cartridge with 360 thrust washers (for high boost), custom lightweight turbine wheel and custom turbine housing. capable of 2bar"
 
not calling the guy a lier or anything, but quad core seems a little unlikely on a GT frame, spoke to garrett and they said its not possible (but we all know if you want it doing anythings possible) so not taking that as a firm answer.

The other thing is you don't have any size degree thrust bearings on a ball bearing turbo, this is the main point of ball bearing.

that being said those turbos are capable of 2 bar anyway even in standard form so no doubts on quality there, I'm sure it'll full-fill all your needs.

Turbo kit looks nice as well :)
