Not all turbos are the same, quite the contrary actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two different turbochargers may act completely different and give a car a different feel. The exhaust side of a turbocharger is arguably the most important part of the turbo yet it is consistently overlooked by buyers. This is where we at MaXpeedingRods come in to help and where this article will hopefully help make the choice between the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.maxpeedingrods.com\/a-full-break-down-comparison-and-reivew-on-gt2871\/\">GT2871 <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.maxpeedingrods.com\/new-turbo-for-racing-at-track-ggt2860-sd\/\">GT2860<\/a> easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To assist in explaining the differences and characteristics of these two turbos, two videos will be reviewed. Both are from ChrisSadowski, a YouTuber who has been making automotive-related content revolving around budget, fun cars. He has published two videos in particular that will be used for reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe  id=\"_ytid_76141\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/02dGGusLfYs?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first video is our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/product\/gt28-gt25-gt2871-gt2860-t25-t28-sr20-ca18det-upgrade-400hp-turbo-turbocharger.html?tracking=blog\">MaXpeedingRods GT2871<\/a> on a Honda B20 Vtec Motor. For the majority of the video, Chris explains how reliable the turbo has been for his build. He drives roughly 70 miles (120.6 km) round trip for work and has had no issues with the turbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been going on for months now which commends the durability and build quality of these turbos. As of the video, Chris is not pushing the turbo nor motor hard as he is only making around 250 horsepower at the tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the second video, Chris installs a GT2860 turbo on his Miata. He then takes it around and gives his take on the difference between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/product\/racing-gt25-gt2871-gt28-gt2860-turbo-turbocharger-5-bolt-exhaust-down-flange.html?tracking=blog\">MaXpeedingRods GT2860<\/a> and the previous turbo he had on there. He concluded that the new MXR turbo was spooling quicker and had a smoother power band than the turbo prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe  id=\"_ytid_10918\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mZc9hxg4w6g?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two measurements to the impellers of a turbo: inducer and exducer. Inducer refers to the intake of the compressor side and the intake of the turbine side while the exducer refers to the output of the compressor side and output of the exhaust side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GT2860 has a 47mm inducer and 60mm exducer wheel on the compressor while the GT2871 has a 53mm inducer and 71mm exducer. The exhaust sides are the same on these turbos with a 54mm inducer and 47mm exducer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two turbos are incredibly similar and the characteristics will be similar as well due to the identical exhaust sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.maxpeedingrods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"GT2871 vs. GT2860\" class=\"wp-image-6828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-1392x783.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-1493x840.jpg 1493w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC09251-1320x743.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Exhaust Sides on Turbos will cause differences in performance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driving pressure on the turbine is what dictates the majority of the turbos spool characteristics. The larger wheel on the GT2871 has more mass which can cause it to take a little longer to get up to speed but the added inertia will keep the turbo spinning longer. This is advantageous between shifts as there will be less delay in the turbo getting back up to the desired shaft speed. Now in practice, these effects are very minimal and most likely not noticeable by the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between these two turbos, it comes down to two factors to determine which is best for you: spool and power. If the user desires the best spool characteristics possible then the GT2860 is the turbo to go with. If the user wants the capability of more power then the GT2871 is the turbo for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at MaXpeedingRods we are often asked \u201cwhat turbocharger should I run on my car?\u201d We understand that this can be a daunting purchase as there are many factors to picking the right turbocharger for your application.
