you are in the best hands with robbie ward when it comes to rb30's

he helped me a lot with my rb30 setup & also supplied the sump kit with adapter - great guy & cannot speak highly enough of him :)

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.

+1 on both of these. . .trying to get something fabbed up for my build as well. . .I went the Precision Billet equivalents. . .and would like to see if I could keep the TT pipe and oem airbox. . .I would say V-bands are the way to go. . .

Looking forward to updates

I am being told that the GTX2860/2863/2867 all spool almost the same. I have a hard time believing this. All do use the same Turbine.

So just like comparing the old HKS 2510, 2530, 2540's. pretty much same back end, but different compressor wheel. There is quite a measurable difference in response and top end between all 3....

My GTX2860's will be here soon!!!

Sooo, my GTX2860's came in today. Just got either source some turb housings or see if -9 turbine housings fit....

A virgin block is at engine machinists getting prepped to my specs :D

Well the -9's are sold....so I'm definately going GTX now!

The garrett dealer/distributor in Wetherell Park,(not naming names), were of no help in getting the turbine housings I required, when I rang them.

I got online and found CAPA performance. Emailed the guy and he had some on order for me as soon as I gave him the part number....how hard is it!!!?

Kudo's to CAPA!!!!

My housings are in the mail!!!!

hey guys!!

anyone thought of taking their -5 and uprating them to these gtx? 2860 or 2863 ?

It's been discussed somewhere. You would have to machine out the covers to accept the different wheel. Why wouldn't you just buy a set of GTX's and sell what you have?

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
