Would be better going for a set of GTX2867's in -5 housings*, if you want the sort of power GTRS's make. End of the day it depends what you're going for power wise, there's a huge gulf between GTRS's and GTSS's as said above *i believe this is possible, check with your local turbo vendor

Thought you were talking about comp covers, not turbine, sorry.

Unfortunately, I can verify this factory option... I got to the install catch can bit, however coolant line under the plenum decided to let go before I could test.

Fair enough, i'm well out of the rb20 game now. Mike, I had a stock series 2 R33 turbo on my old R32, from memory it was almost as punchy in the low revs... and fell over almost as soon in the high revs, only made 174rwkw with a tune. May have been an issue with my decision to go for an ARC side-mount instead of a front mount though. Looking back i really wish i'd put in a kit to measure the air temps before/after the cooler, I bet that they were going crazy but I can't be sure. You'd need to get some machining done to fit the correct profile, about $150 ish depending on who does it. Note i don't think you can do this for a gtx2860, only a gtx2863, i've run into issues trying to get gtx2860's sorted for gtr suitable comp covers. issue is that gtx2860's are smaller than 2530's (and all of the other gtr style ball bearing comp covers), so you can't exactly machine in extra material

you can get yourself the same turbo locally for 1.7K, or the GTX2867 (same flow rate, smaller wheel.. what's not to love?) for about 2K, that leaves 1-1.3K to find lines, a wastegate, piping, studs and gaskets, spend the significant change you'd have on beers. Or you could buy the HKS kit...

I'd be finding a new tuner if its costing you 1K for a E85 Tune, then 1K for a re-tune with a new turbo and nothing else changed on the engine... Also it'd be a cheaper exercise to go buy a garrett GTX2863/2867 or something, and track down all the other required fittings/hoses separately, and you'd get a better turbo out of it.

I'll be there. Weather my car is depends on how quickly I can change turbos...

Actually, from memory there is a difference between R32 and R33, however I think it is minor and in the rubber elbow. I did take a photo of my R32 one and another R33 one i got but didn't use (polished) that seemed to be different, but i can't access that photo for a while. Twin turbo pipe shouldn't be hard to find, rear turbo factory up pipe might be harder, that being said most kits keep the stock one? so you might not need it. For the rubber pipe between i'd just got a new one direct from Nissan Japan via site like amayama or similar, as most are getting rather old and perished by now anyway. Job done. My personal preference is for a factory airbox though, just picked one up for myself that i'll install in the coming while.

PM'd

I'll be there.

I didn't think you could machine stock compressors as the exducer is 60.1 instead of the 60.0 required for the gtx wheel?

To be fair, he is correct in that he's comparing two common setups. Not many are running around with GTX2863's still.

2400AUD plus postage, not bad. 3560AUD for CHRA's, plus postage.

They spec the normal GTX2863 for 2000 bucks including the normal 3"/2" compressor housing for 2000 bucks, so an extra 200 bucks for a gtr style compressor housing machined out to fit doesn't seem that bad to me...

SAU probably needs to get a license for that.

Seems like i'll be there.

Getting close now too!

My issue was that the old strainer (45 degree too) was so blocked up it physically couldn't pull fuel through (think 20+ seconds for the strainer full of fuel to empty out from gravity), so I think with a 90 degree sock it would still have the throughput issues. not to mention the actual elbow itself would raise the intake up by 40mm compared to the 45 degree sock. Luckily, I found a 45 degree sock. 8 bucks from Global EFI, part number GS-046 (can probably get it form other pump shops also), hopefully that helps out someone in the future and avoids the fun I had tracking one down.

Any chance of getting the front pipes on its own?

So what housings and other parts exactly are being used to make up these theoretical GTX2860 turbo's? Probably wanting to put a set on my car later on in the year so will need to know what to ask for when i go to get them made up.

I'll take $50 to dispose of it for you.

Track day!

Greddy is 100mm inlet, not a flange face though.

Um no, they're not. fords website You do have a good point in that neither will be P plate legal, but the 223kw v6 wouldn't be either so there's no real loss there for ford. Even the turbo 4 Camaro, with its lower 205kw's, would be a power to weight of ~128, which is not legal for a P plate new car in most states if i remember the current laws correctly

Don't know why anyone would buy the V6, 4 has similar power and more torque.. and that's before you up the boost a tad. I suppose that's why ford australia decided against even offering the V6 mustang here, it also helps with those that the engine has been around for a while, plenty of bolt on upgrades probably floating around and i imagine there will be lots for the turbo Camaro too. Now if they sold a turbo v6....
