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!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
