A Challenge...

[McRussellPants]

what did you think would come of this thread?

a well witten coherant answer?

I'd rather people call it the GT28RS than a disco potato anyway.

discopotato is ultimate in douchebag marketing ploy.

lol disco potato?



like anything else with cars it gets said a few times in a magazine and suddenly everyone is saying it

a "disco potato" is not a GT28RS

a GT28RS is a GT2871R with smaller housings

a "disco potato" is a GT28R Turbine wheel and housing with a Super 60 (antiquated 35 year old) compressor wheel (T3)

Hence this thread to educate people like you about things like this.

Its more then the housings. They both have differant part numbers for the CHRA:

The GT2871R also lists 3 differant CHRA part numbers, all have differant Ind. Wheel Diameters. And differant housings. The link below makes it a bit easier to compair turbos.

Also on turbos, If you guys want a GT3076R and GT3071R, you better buy fast from people that have them in stock. the price on the exhaust housings(garrett housings) went up $226.XX in the last month at my costs. Meaning, I can sell the GT35R for cheaper then the 30R turboes.

I would assume Garrett/Honeywell makes only the CHRA for HKS. Also, where did you find this out?

[steve shadows]

Yeah I noticed that too.

But if the whool size is the same overall then the inducer is the only difference in CHRA?

Thats the challenge. I want this clarified.

How am I? Your setup is like 1/2 as expensive and better matched to your engine.

haha It's a compliment

Wrong. It has nothing to do with the housings whatsoever.


A GT28RS is the "old" name for a GT2860RS - a NS111 53.8mm major dia. turbine wheel and a 60mm 62 trim GT series compressor wheel.

A GT2871R is the same 53.8mm NS111 turbine and a 71mm compressor wheel that can vary in trim(48, 52 - what you linked with the T04B comp. housing, and 56).

A T28 - S14/S15 turbo - whatever you want to call it is a GT2560R. It uses a 53mm major dia. turbine wheel and a 60mm major dia. 60 trim compressor wheel with older aerodynamics than the GT2860RS. That's why it has about 10-20 rwhp less power potential than the GT28RS/GT2860RS. I agree it's a better turbo given the cost though...



And to further edumacate - what was called a GT25R/GT2540R is now a GT2876R - 53.8mm NS111 turbine and 44 trim 76mm compressor wheel in a big T04S compressor housing.

That's what I was getting at

Right, which is the disco potato right? (I fucking hate SCC)

The old GT Compressor wheel has a different compressor map than the Super 60 T3???

Then SCC and Garrett's disco article is all wrong
