the 2560 has a 60mm wheel. which technically would make it a t28. it shares more in common with the 2854 or 2860 than the 2554.

Yeah but then i have to modify my downpipe and manifold.

I can make a local deal for the turbine housing... I also have a used SSautocrome tial 38mm knockoff that I'd sell for a couple more bucks...

so i take it you bought that 2560 with the odd turbine housing?

Si. :sad2: well see how it works out.

I haven;t even gotten the turbo yet, so I am not in a huge hurry. for all i know it fits the manifold and dp.

Doest anyone have a good picture of the DP flange that standard GT25s use?

Dang no go.

looks like the ones on the GT-iR housings off the JDM GTRs

Since my downpipe is two piece maybe beig will work out a deal with me for just the top peice with that flange (assuming it fits the maniflold)

Or just buy a trashed T25

want a sleeve turbo with the same specs as a 2560?

if i can rip the turbine housing and use it sure.

Resell your odd turbo on ebay and buy this:

You said yourself you wanted it. Do it. You deserve it. You're a great guy. You only live once, may as well have the big turbo.

it wouldn't be a turbo to rip apart.


you can always buy an old junker like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...spagenameZWDVW



turbine is something like 44mm, should be the same:

but then i saw the power paul was making :)

No i think ill see how this turbo is and my options. I just like to plan ahead

Anyone see anything wrong with getting a trashed T2 turbine housing?


Brain unless its free id have to pass now, or ungodly cheap

With Absurdflow components! ;) I think everything he has was around $2k and with the exhaust an intercooler around 3.5k.

I honestly don't know much about the T2 turbos or if they have that 6 bolt center section-to-turbine housing flange.

To be honest, i just wanted the cheaper turbo option to get up and running

Oh heres the specs off the turbo

Compressor
In: 1.83"
Ex: 2.638"


Turbine
In:2.083"
Ex:1.824"


Whatever Splitime had it definitely didn't fit (I wonder if it was a normal T2 turbine?) Thanks for letting me give that a try

2.638" is what 67mm? that's bigger than a 2860.

however the turbine seems to be the same size as a 2554.

what crappy ass combo. God i hope i can get a different housing

Tim can you take some measurements off that GT2871 you have and see if that housing is the same?

Ignore everything i wrote. I am so fucking sick. I cant even think straight.
