is there a reason more people dont use this compressor wheel for twin applications??

it spools better than the -10s with more top end than the -5s

also seems better on the surge line compared to the gtx2863????

Gav any news?

Funny you should ask. These were released in the USA this week and I have a pair of these bad boys (GTX2863R) on the way to me as we speak.

I'll swap over my existing turbine housings, so exhaust fittment should be OK. There will be some cut and shut work on my HKS hard pipe induction kit required, however as the GTX terbs use straight hose connections in and out of the compressor housing rather than the bolted flanges. Ordered the new adjustable actuator brackets along with the new Garrett 22psi actuators.

Also need to upgrade my injectors yet again as the HKS 1000cc units are maxing out with E85. Time for some ID 2000 units I think.

Hope to have Xspeed start on the job late next week with hopefully a comparison graph available the following week.

Watch this space.

Hope those springs you're talking about are soft ones... For the rear of the car mate... ;)

Strong ones for cams :)

I've done some modifications to the rear end now and it grips a lot better, might go ET streets as well this year!

:) Yeah I knew you meant cams, I was just stirring you up.. I know how GTR's with grip annoy you. ;)

So how long till they offer these to be direct fit.....

Probably never as the market for BR26 applications is declining obviously.

However, you can order the turbine covers seperately. As stated only the compressor inlet and outlet use slip on hoses rather than bolted flanges

Might be worth welding on 90 ally bends to the outlets gav, I'm having constant issues with the flex from 90deg silicon bends :thumbsup:

Just arrived - maybe first pair in Oz?

Hopefully new design actuator brackets will make life easier on the install

Difference with 2530s is usually 20-40rwkw so for that it would be worth it if someone was wanting a little more than -5s - but as a non HKS rape price.

Wouldn't this be a reasonable solution to that issue?

Very interested to see the result, though I don't have my breath held for anything amazing, none of the GTX results so far have excited me - the best ones I have seen so far are almost as good as the Precision/ForcedPerformance equivalents which have been around for a few years. Would be nice to be surprised, though!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
