New Garrett GTX2867r

[AJZax]

danggg this thing's pretty sweet

I'm diggin this turbo. Price is pretty steep but seems fairly worth it. It's like the tomei m82 turbo but T28 response! haha.

[koukistylejdm]

thats comming along pics of it mounted soon its getting tuned tomorow on high boost+ race fuel mmmmm lets see how it works on the sr should be dynoed in a few weeks rrrrr

[801nismo104]

please keep us posted! ill be dynoing mine in a few weeks aswell on 104 octane

[cotbu]

A few weeks would be a month, so is 3 weeks too soon for results?!!!

Had another track day this past weekend with the setup, and I can 100% say that the 2867 works MUCH better on track than the 2871r (which was no slouch!)

What a great turbo all around, I love it!

I thought you were running a Gtx

As stated above, GTX2867, .64 exhaust housing.



It really is faster on track, much better back into boost.

[boost addict]

Would there be any disadvantage of running a turbo this size with a t3 turbine housing? Im looking at the gtx2863r and dont want to have to change the dp, IC piping, intake, mani, ect that I have for my current setup.

[gotta240]

This isn't exactly the best place for this question, but....... there's a few dudes in here that I really trust taking advice from AND I do have the gtx2867

Running an Apexi PFC. I purchased the MAF version of it but haven't used it yet. The MAF placement on my setup is a annoying. Is there any advantage/disadvantage of going with the MAP version of the PFC? I could easily trade or sell and rebuy the MAP version if there is a benefit.

and if it matters..... I only went with the PFC so I could have a simple standalone that would allow a street tune on pump gas and a track tune on e85 or racegas. Otherwise I would have done the JWT ecu to idiotproof my setup. I'm a firm believer in the CODYACE seutp(ie: simple=better)

If you dont mind having a maf sensor, then use the maf power FC. The only time you want a map sensor based ECU is when you must delete the maf sensor for whatever reason (exceed the capacity / clean up engine bay). In the long run the maf will treat you better. A Map ecu is much more time consuming to tune. And by MAP I mean the base map- you must use the data-logit to access the base map. A Standard D-jetro PFC with commander cannot adjust the base map all you can adjust is the % VE table which is a completely different thing.

Although I must say I enjoy tuning a map based ECU.
Learning the VE table for an engine and getting a feel for the combination usually gives a better feeling of satisfaction at the end of the day, you learn more that way.

so it seems like ill hussle more and more before i have official numbers on this beauty but i have tryed it yet..... on the new fully built sr it was awesome but the new engine lasted ONE lap... thanks to the blind guy who ported and polished the head...

so i swapped back a stock s14 longblock (my spare engine)
with the gtx2867 on it at +- 23 pounds of boost...

its much better than the gt2871R no doubt response when u lift for a second than hit back the throttle is much better.... and the higher boost feels much more comftable for that turbo

hap^py anyway with all that bullshit!"

I also have this same question. Looking at the GTX3067R, its the same thing as the GTX2867R except that it uses external wg. I already went top mount/big turbo and I just didnt like the feel as compared to my friends bottom mount GT2871 similar to codyaces set up.
His car is nice and torquey on the low end and that is what I like to aim for. From reading of experiences on this turbo in here, I am definitely putting this on the list of turbos to choose next.

FYI The power outputs are roughly the same, but the turbine side is different.

We'll there you have it, the price is justified by the performance! Even though it's intangible!

I plan on keeping it ewg since mines already set up for it. The 2863 has an available t3 turbine housing with vband out. In just wondering if it would be more or less responsive to go with the t3 housing over the t2

As stated above the Turbines are different. I think the 30 is more ideal for a KA-T and the 28 for a SR.

I aswell would like to know^


I have a top mount w/ external aswell.. I dont want to have to change my manifold/DP+bunchof other stuff so thats why I asked about the GTX3067. Good to know they have a T3 housing.

Now, off to sell my current turbo

[unijabnx2000]

They have had a T3 size flange for the GT/GTX28 turbines for a couple years now. I used one on my disco potato

Thanks! MAF it is then.

[boost addict]

Just picked up this gtx2863r .63ar, t3, with vband out. Should have it tuned within a week so ill throw my results up

[BlackZenkiS14]

Oh! That's exciting! I'm really curious to see how that does!

[Pinggg]

^^ that little turbo is sick! i wanna see what power it makes

[JordanS]

Any more updates? Also, not performance related but with the APT housing with v band wastegate, what does this setup,sound like? Usual external wastegate or doesn't sound like the standard manifold setup if the dividers have not been removed?

[unijabnx2000]

just got mine....

[cotbu]

You seriously just posted a picture of the box!

Yeah, everyone else has posted the turbo itself many times.... lol

[JordanS]

More pictures is always good! What external wastegate serious do you guys run? I'd love to get a .64 rear housing a mod a stock manifold, but I've heard that high 300's make the manifold keep high exhaust has temps?
