Has anyone run a Garrett GT2876(r) with a Greddy log manifold ?

Looking into turbo upgrade options and would rather not do the extra
work needed to fit a GT3071/76

Thanks

 

Should be a bolt-on, since the greddy kit use a silvia turbo.

 

Thanks

 

The GT2876 is a horrible matching of compressor to turbine wheel. If you're looking for maximum power in a T2 frame turbo, than I'd do the GTX2867R.

 

Thanks I will do some more research.

Had a HKS 2540 on previously and the show was over by 6000rpm. hopefully this and a 3'' exhaust
will free it up a bit.

 

Ah, I forgot about the GTX2967 which has a slightly larger turbine wheel than the GTX28. So the GTX2967 would be more ideal in trying to stay with the T2 flanged turbine housing.

 

I guess it depends what you're after, but the gt3071 bolts onto the hot side. All you need to do is rig up a new bracket for the wg actuator, and change the intake for the turbo and outlet. Not too bad and should be worth the effort with much better flow, imo.

 

gt3071 would be perfect for what I am after but reading the Greddy upgrade thread there was the need to fab
an angled spacer for the log manifold. I plan on doing a few track days so I want less things to worry about failing.

 

That's not correct, and what I initially thought as well. That thread is kind of confusing because he doesn't explicitly state that it was solely so he could use his Tomei downpipe piece to fab up a new larger downpipe. If you read carefully and look at other threads/posts it 100% bolts upto the hot side w/o any modifications. Only things that need modifying are the wg actuator, turbo intake, and outlet.

 

Awesome .. thanks for that, it makes things a lot easier for what I am looking for.

PFAB log manifold in schedule 40 and the flow of the gt30 at low boost, around
10psi. I know I will always need to be sympathetic to the engine temps. but I should
be able to at least have some track day fun with it.
