Just A Few Pics Of My Gt2860r-707160-5 Turbo Swap

[DAS KAMU]

ok so heres a bit of info

Just picked em up

grabbed some purple as well

brad had to take some meat from the turbine housings to match to the new manifolds

as you can see below a fair bit had to go

installing the new studs

dumps joined

manifolds attached

nice pair

[DAS KAMU]

as you can see things do not look to good

found the turbine in the cat

the good standard turbo

the dead turbo

[Mr. Oizo]

looks awesome

what manifolds are they?

[R31Nismoid]

Hmm i can see why there is no point in putting manifolds with small low mounts.. happy sticking with stockers now!

The size difference from that rear housing to the manifold gasket is huge!!!

very nice i have just started to do the same thing with my car atm going the same turbos to

any tips for taking them off?

run into any problems fitting them?

i have heard you have to do some mods to the oil return holes?

did you buy a kit?

or just get them from nissan?

very nice i have just started to do the same thing with my car atm going the same turbos to

any tips for taking them off? - not really just keep your cool lol

run into any problems fitting them? - just doing up the bolts for the manifold when reinstalling

i have heard you have to do some mods to the oil return holes? - yes just drill the bolt holes a bit bigger to match the holes on the turbo thats what i did

were did you get your gaskits from? - kudos motorsports trader on here tell him jason sent you

did you buy a kit? - from kudos motorsports

or just get them from nissan? - lol no

can not wait to get mine on there and tuned!!!!

[DAS KAMU]

[Guilt-Toy]

i got new studs from a trader on here search for "kudos motorsports"

[DAS KAMU]

Just opened up the dead rear turbo

nothing much to see

[DSTROY]

Looks the goods mate Im very interested to see what numbers you pull! I had a set of these put on my car 2 weeks ago and made 258rwkw on 14 psi and 316rwkw on 18psi on a Mainline dyno, but i used match ported standard manifolds and HKS split dumps and D-Jectro. Good luck and i hope all goes well

[Bakes]

Great pics. Cant wait to whack in my -5s

[omega36]

Nice pics, thanks. That poor stock turbo!

I have a pair of GT2860R-5's sitting right next to me as well

They will be going in soon...

[DAS KAMU]

they feel real good you will love them

[doo doo]

Yep I got the tomeii stainless manifolds and port matched to the turbine, it's worth doing it on the standard manifolds too as it's a major restriction as stock. You get a much better spool response. Ported like in this pic. Gonna have to do a side by side soon Jase! Here's also the CES race dumps for those interested.....
