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?

    • Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.
    • Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
