Did anyone else put these onto an RB30 yet?

Had it running the first time now, let´s see what they can do with stock head and forged bottom end...

The GTX2860R would be the one. U'd need to make sure you get the .64 "compact 5 bolt" turbine housings to suit the GTR twin setup. The biggest problem is making good intake pipes in the tight space but if a decent amount of time is spent, it'll be well worth it.

I'm starting to seriously look at a set of GTX2860's for my project as I was going to go the -5's.

I know it won't be a straight bolt in affair but I have a few ideas on how to make it look stock, using factory airbox, rubber joiners etc which will mean a 60mm inlet (i will keep 60mm AFM's).

Cutting and aluminum welding will need to be done as there is no way I am going to use silicone joiners on the compressor housings. Especially the back one.

I hope to find out if the stock manifolds will also clear the compressor housings.

My car is sitting here with nothing on the hotside,waiting for me to make mind up,its come down to the -5 bolton as i liked the boost response and no compressor surge, or these new gtx2860 turbos,worried about boost response and compressor surge as mine is only std stroke rb26 with glide,can anyone help with this any ideas or thoughts on how they would be..thanks

it wouldn't be that hard to use the existing twin turbo pipe either.

Cut off existing 2 bolt flanges until its around 2", weld on new extension/elbow and use silicone joiners to attach.

Vband welded onto compressor inlet instead of using silicone joiners?

This is what I was thinking.

The inlets, I would get aluminum pipe mandrel bent at the same angle as stockers and accept that it would use a 60-65mm inlet bellmouthed out and welded to the 3 inch shortened compressor snout.

I agree jangles. The v band idea would work well too.

ATP turbo how has a housing that is bolt on to the skyline... Im sure there were be some sort of difference in the 2 housings, If you want the full benefits of the gtx i would stay with the 3" intake with the anti surge, but im gonna try it out and see what happens. I got the 2860gtx. I was gonna get the -5 but I have been talking to ATP and they finally got it done. Like I say I will probably by the gunnie pig but oh well. I can change out the housing if it surges alot or something. But then again im probably not gonna be running big numbers yet and the limit of the 2860-5 seems to be more of the exhaust side than the compressor anyway, so this might be a compromise between the two, or it mike work just fine, we shall see.

Will be interesting to see back to back to back results with their 2bolt housing.

It might be worth welding alloy piping straight to the compressor inlet. To bad you guys are up in Sydney, I would love to have a crack at jigging them up. I imagine the GTX will be a common upgrade once all the parts are available.

As for surge, my GTX3076 is surging a little at light throttle, I assume the surge slots will help avoid compressor damage?

If it's anything like their other "bolt-on" type housing offerings for the RB range... You might be in a spot of bothing going down that route as they never seem to perform :(

I'm not in Sydney, but it doesn't make it any easier haha.

Well ATP called and said the 2860 with the skyline style is delayed. you can get the 2863 and 2867 though. Which works out great cause i just ordered a rips forged RB30 block. Now i have to decide on turbos. I dont want 800whp in a 2600 pound car so im trying to figure out what to order. what do you guys think.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
