Pulsar GTX2867R meets Kraken Low Mount
I posted this in my build thread but figured I would put it here as well. Recently my GTX2860 that I kinda slapped together last year with a Garrett CHRA and a Arashi compressor wheel and housing bit the dust. I needed to get back on the road as cheap as possible to I bought a Pulsar GTX2867, normally I would only use Garrett but its $1500 and the Pulsar was 1/3 that cost. The Pulsar is a .86 a/r turbine and a larger compressor so its spooling slower than my GTX2860 but its still hitting right around 4k which is honestly just fine. Getting into the powerband is easy with this turbo its way more linear. The 2860 hits HARD in the midrange and then loses steam up top. I was running 25psi tapering to 22.5 by redline on the 2860 to achieve the same power the 2867 is with 18psi tapering to 21psi to redline. I now have an EBC instead of the MBC I was using before. So I chose to bring the boost on smooth to keep the car more linear instead of hitting like a ton of bricks. I want to turn it up more but I dont want to break anything before the gap trip.

You "should" be able to use your old turbo housing from the Garrett. Might be able to get a little bit faster spool.
I am hoping to grab a few Pulsar turbo's in the future. I am also a dealer. |
My Garrett GT28 0.64 housing works with the Pulsar CHRA

See now seeing this makes me want to get this turbo. I was worried about it being super laggy but my chins T3 is making 20psi at 5krpm. This thing is a whole 1000rpm sooner than that lol. Granted my VVT isn’t working atm so that’s greatly contributing to my lag. Thanks for posting! Keep us updated on the longevity and reliability of this thing!

Does this turbo whistle really loud while its spooling? Did you have to do any porting to the wastegate?

Can confirm, these turbos are really loud and kinda annoying to me in vacuum. Wife is not happy, I'm going to build an airbox in the future

Did you get the T51R mod on your pulsar turbo Andy or der_vierte?
I believe pulsar told me that made the turbo a little louder. |
Nope, standard

Little update I did another VD pull the other day just to check on the car. It's running up to 26psi now, the total hp# isn't much higher but there is a lot more tq. I think in order to make more power up top I need ethanol so I can run more timing, but I'm happy where the car is at. 93% injector duty now so this is about as much as I can ask of it.

383lbft... Beast! How's your 6 speed holding up?
Are you happier overall with the GTX 2867R compared with your old GTX 2860? |
I am curious how your 6 speed is holding as well. I am looking at building similarly and I am at a crossroads of what I should upgrade to from my 5 speed. The 6 speed would be the easiest and most cost effective paired with a Torsen.
