Re-Goddamn-Diculous

[BenefitX]

so after installing my new gt28rs i was so happy with the results...then all of a sudden my fuckin driver side window wouldnt go up or down , i would just hear metal shredding...

so i opened up the door panel and to my surprise , the pulleys have intertwined themselves and crossed over...

and i have these "aftermarket" power windows so i cant just buy a window regulator...dont know what to do...

afraid to park my car at places now and its too hot to leave the window up...

[Wes]

Just order another set of aftermarket ones.

[BenefitX]

dont know where....im gunna try getting pics of the piece...i think im gunna replace the entire innards of my door altogether...

[Wes]

ebay. or just go back to manual windows, haha

[shawn shawn]

or do what I did and replace the door. I wasnt about to mess w/ all that window shit haha.

[v-empire]

throw those shaved handled pop out door bull crap.

get a regular door with regular wind up windows.

spent 150 bucks and get a painless wiring set.

strip all your wires and redo them.

[BenefitX]

yea i would need to get the door repainted and shit...

[v-empire]

then get it done.

[BenefitX]

i need my emissions done first :(

[v-empire]

ahh...do what what is important first then.

you got a car that has all kinds of gremlins because someone messed with it in the first place.

then work your way into doing everything right.
good luck.

still on stock injectors?

[BenefitX]

yea stock injectors...the car does have alot of gremlins , ive fixed most of everything though...

the best one was when it rains , the alarm would chirp with the increase of rpm's and the windows would come down by themselves...i thought my car got possessed...


i just need some 550's and a z32maf with a tune...ill be good

no u need to fix the alarm chirp rpm crap and window lowering. lol and get emissions
and fix your turbo crap issues...
and find out if your oil pump is bad.

[BenefitX]

or just dont chime in when you dont know...

emissions is done , oil pump is not bad wtf...it was a egay turbo, and ive explained to you about BB turbos...

[v-empire]

so the turbo you bought is a true garrett 2871 from ebay or was it an ebay turbo from a different company that is a 2871 equivalent ?

[BenefitX]

it was not a garrett, dont know what it was , just had GT28RS written on the housing and was the .71 compressor side...

it was fine until i went WOT after about 300 miles , it just has shaft play everywhere...

car is being sold anyways...time for something better

[Casey]

or just dont chime in when you dont know...

emissions is done , oil pump is not bad wtf...it was a egay turbo, and ive explained to you about BB turbos...


wtf ?

okay...
i said check ure oil pressure on aim and you were like yah i should bla bla bla
you got the motor from tyler. you havent had it for years...
and you now chime in and say its an ebay turbo when you said it was a garrett... and advertised it was one.
so youre trying to sell the car with a turbo that you still claim is a real garrett. and you are now telling us its an ebay one?
so u getting your money back or something?


i need my emissions done first :(

and u said this, thats why i said emissions.

[BenefitX]

i never said it was a Garrett. maybe you assumed that.

the turbo doesn't have anything to do with the sale of the car, the buyer can keep the turbo if they want or take it off if they want. i will be the only one losing money since i still paid for the turbo.

seriously , oil pump bad? i've been daily driving the car for a month, highway and city...

just go back to reading "turbo for dummies" , with the 500 horsepower and borla exhaust.

[22:35min 25sec] viperbite dot tk: they didnt make an RS
[22:35min 32sec] viperbite dot tk: if the turbine housings say garrett on it
[22:35min 35sec] viperbite dot tk: it cannot be an RS
[22:35min 39sec] Benefitx: it is an RS
[22:35min 41sec] viperbite dot tk: if its a 71
[22:35min 42sec] Benefitx: it says it on the housing wtf

[Casey]

[Casey]

what the fuck do you think i was saying? your all like "oh rs is only garrett blah blah blah" no slut.

garrett gt2860rs = true RS :)

[BenefitX]

there is also a 2871 = "true rs"...its just bigger on the compressor side.

then there is also ebay gt2860rs and gt2871rs. you get it now. wow

[hellfire]

First off, quit your stupid bickering. Your selling the car, congrats.


garrett gt2860rs = true RS :)

And Casey.. Your wrong.

[hellfire]

So, they don't have it listed.

There is the GT2860RS, which is the "Disco Potato". Then there is a GT2871RS.

perhaps companies swap housings or something
the S in the RS stands for a higher flowing.
and by taking a quick look at the compressor charts. between the 60rs and 60r
you can see the RS is a supperior turbo
so that means the S is a compressor feature. not a turbine feature.
so swapping the 60 rs to a 71r
drops the S off the name.

[hellfire]

Ok, I think we are talking about the same thing here.

The GT2860RS and the GT2871R as marked on Garretts site are exactly the same turbo, except for the Compressor housing. Thats why everyone just calls it GT2871RS.

lol mk

well i think the rs and r are used to differentiate between the two gt2860's garrett offers

[hellfire]

I think you should call Garrett and ask, and figure this out once and for all. :)

hmmm thier "contact us" link has no number... says to contact a dealer.
ill contact the first dealer on thier list after my chemistry lab. (ends at 4:00) lol... im doing a lab report.

[hellfire]

Ok, well I'm not patient enough for you, so I did it myself. ;)

I called Limit Engineering and Turbo's Direct as listed on the distributors section of Garretts site. They were the only ones open.

Limit Engineering said that the S specifically stands for the "Hose in, hose out" configuration of the turbo. Or also called "Slip Fit" Meaning it has no flange, like another turbo might have on the compressor housing, you can just use a coupler.

Turbo's Direct agreed with what Limit said, without me mentioning it. But also noted that he wasn't entirely sure that was all the difference and is going to call Garrett later and get back with me on exactly what it stands for. Because, if the S did stand for that configuration, then why wouldn't' the GT2871R and GT2876R also have the S because it is the same type.

So.. There you have it. :)

UPDATE:

Well, Turbo's Direct called me back. He talked directly to Garrett. This is what they said.

The S, was originally supposed to stand for a single port wastegate actuator. But, since most of the turbo's that they started making were only single port, they dropped the s, and never applied it. But then since the GT2860RS, was made specially for Nissan for racing, the designer of that turbo put the S back on there just to specify that it was a "Special" turbo. And thus, the only difference in the GT2860RS and GT2871R is the slightly larger compressor housing/wheel.

Tyler

[BenefitX]

damn...lol...i thought it was the R was normal and S meaning dual ball bearing...but i knew gt2860rs and gt2871rs was the same turbo just bigger, unlike some people cough... nice info tyler. +1

hmmm

this is what garretts website says
Positions "zz" may be used to designate special features of a particular turbocharger where applicable

* Example: GT2860RS
* "R" = this is a Ball Bearing unit
* "S" = used for units which require some differentiation from units in the same family
Compare a GT2860R to a GT2860RS. While both are ball bearing and externally similar, the GT2860RS is better suited for higher-flow applications than the GT2860R. In this case, the S reflects the higher-flowing nature of the GT2860RS

i think thats what its talking about.
the part of the turbo that uses a coupler instead of a flange.
"higher flowing" i would asume a 4 inch or 3 inch coupler rather than a 2.5 inch flange would flow better.
idk i think there is a difference between the gt2860r and the gt2860rs
other than just the s.
cuz... they are very different turbos.... lol
anyways
lol thanks for calling i was about to do that haha then i read the thread.

[hellfire]

There is a huge difference in the GT2860R and GT2860RS. The RS is a special redesigned turbo made for Nissan Racing. I never said it was the same turbo.

But.. The GT2871R(S) is the same turbo as the GT2860RS, just with a larger compressor housing and wheel.

[BenefitX]

so what we learned today.
R and RS is different but gt2871rs and gt2860rs is the same, just bigger.

[Casey]

so what we learned today.

yeah, so here is what we learned aswell, you have an egay turbo.
lesson of the day number 1
call garrett and ask =D
lesson number 2
buy a real garrett turbo

[BenefitX]

lol you and your 200$ ka-t projects...

[badass240]

if cant duck it fuck it lol. but yeah good luck with that, just had to say that
