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

Two of these arrived yesterday! Pretty excited

[ZT-R]

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.

[R31Nismoid]

Believe that when i see it

I'll be extremely disappointed if the 2860s spool the same as the 'potential' 100kw bigger 2867s

[GTRsean]

Almost the same....so like 1000RPM difference?

Anyways, courtesy of garrett:

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!!!

[Gav]

Exciting stuff sean.

I'm considering getting a pair of these try try next time I have a need to take the terbs off.

[GTRsean]

When it's done, I'll put up a graph , 86.5x77.7 should help....

[SiR_RB]

Ditching ur -9's Sean?

[GTRsean]

Yep, moving on. I'm 90% sure. They are great for what they are.

[SiR_RB]

Be an interesting setup, can't wait for results

Still keeping stock internals or going forged to push these turbos to limits?

[GTRsean]

Not on the bottom end I'm piecing together

[GTRsean]

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

[SiR_RB]

mmmmmmmmmmmmm tasty

[GTRsean]

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!!!!

[discopotato03]

No the turbine housing wouldn't have fitted because GT2859Rs use a smaller trim version of that turbine .

It might be interesting getting air plumbing onto those larger inlet bosses , cheers A .

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?
