gt2871r .86?

So I have a FC with a blown motor that needs tons of work ect ect.

I have recently picked up at gt2871r .86 A/R and I am wondering if this would be a good turbo for a rotory? I have noticed that no one seems to use anything smaller then a gt30. I want a responsive fun to drive daily at about mid to high 300 rwhp.

i'm not a turbo expert by any means, but i would tend to think the turbine is simply not big enough to flow for a rotary.

Two of those turbos would make 300HP on a 13B and be out of flow around 6000 RPM.

The absolute smallest turbo in the GT series you want to use is the GT3076R, with the biggest (1.06) T3 hotside. Good for about 300HP and 300FT-Lbs.

If you want mid to high 300s, then you will want the GT35R with a .96 turbine side.
