Supraleeturbo Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 So as some of you may know I'm doing a full engine build buy srd and now I'm stuck. I absolutely love the T51 with the sound etc but it's only rated to 900 if I'm not mistaken, and is old school tech and journal, now the 6870 will do 1000hp will probably spool 1000 rpm faster and I can get a add on that makes it sound the T51. So do I sell my T51 with the hks manifold and hks waste gate and go for the new srd manifold, hks type 2 waste gate and the 6870 !!!!!! Also any comments from 6870 owners would be great i.e. When do you get full boost etc and how it feels/performs as a street as mine will see very little track time Thank you all :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 To me it's a no brainer. New tech beats old tech if you can afford it. That's the only reason i haven't gone single. I do like the sequential system and can be reverted to stock but seeing as you're already single I'd go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 What Jason said really, not really any reason why not other than sound. Are you talking about the OCD compressor housing mod as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It is a no brainer , just change the turbo Money in the pocket to drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 It's a bit sad modifying a turbo to sound like an old one even if the 51 is lush. Bit like a loud fart exhaust cannon on a saxo really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Is a 6870 not a bit of a big turbo for a road car mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Not at all, it's just like the old T67 turbos except it makes loads more power if you want it Spool is great, makes good power on pump fuel.

Nic Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I thought all the HK T51 turbos are double ball bearing not journal? They are made for HKS by Garrett, another option would be to upgrade to a Garrett GTX CHRA and use your existing turbine and compressor housings. Should work out a lot cheaper than having to swap the rest of the kit. Edited October 21, 2016 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugen_power Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Odd request but is there anyway you could send me some detailed pictures of the hks manifold when you have it off the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Odd request but is there anyway you could send me some detailed pictures of the hks manifold when you have it off the car? It's off the car now it's fully wrapped in titanium heat wrap and would prefer not to take that off as I'm still unsure if I'm going to keep or sell it yet, but if I was to sell them I'd sell it as a complete kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Is the turbo still attached? It's just the flange I need a picture of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Different one, the T51 is V band manifold This is the only pic of took of the manifold in my HKS kit, hope that helps. http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t508/RWheaters/30D249A0-55CF-4B09-AC2B-070D8AFF8F36_zpsaw3gd1cl.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Depends on the boost, gear and setup but around 4000-4200rpm What sort of rpm does full boost acure - - - Updated - - - Yes turbo is still attached to the manifold mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraleeturbo Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Depends on the boost, gear and setup but around 4000-4200rpm So say with the set up I have with a v161 and Bo3B diff will it be at around 4K rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) My SRD1000 setup is based on the 6870 turbo. The performance is simpy mindblowing ..... so much more power than my old 6766 turbo at 900 bhp. Here the dyno graph : 954 rhhp and 813 ftlbs at Abbey's hub dyno. Look at that torque !!
