I milled down my PS pump on the weekend.

Going to use the stock TT pipe if it isn't a flow restriction with the new compressors also.

Bit concerned I went with the 60s now. Interesting to see how much they take on a rb30

That will be an outright response monster!!! Keen to see your results!!!!

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?

I covered this one a couple of months back, I did some research and was told the GTX need their specific covers. Cant run the bolt on style covers (or they would just make them like that for you boys!).

Nws mate.

Are you going to give it a go either way? The info I got was that they just wont work in that housing, but I wouldn't blame you for giving it a go.

Otherwise gotta stay -5 :(

I´d kick out that stock TT pipe, even with the plate modification it´s not so ideal flowwise.

Just been on the rollers yesterday, but did not ran that good and now I´m a bit disappointed with the results.

Been on the rollers three times with HKS GT2530, last run was about 530hp and 700nm of torque at 1.35 bar.

Now (with the old tune being gone because of a computer crash) the GTX made much less, even on more boost.

Here you can have a look, the runs being done on 1.5 and about 1.7-1.8 bar.

Car popped off some hoses so I had no chance to alter A/F ratio or ignition, as it was on a dyno day and I was kind of stretching it anyways doing about 6 runs with fixing some pipe stuff/altering the boost...

For comparison (same dyno type), run on 1.35 bar dropping to 0.7 bar (boost controller safety feature not switched off) with HKS GT2530s:

And on 1.5 / 1.7-1.8 bar with GTX2860R´s:

Nice pink bits :)

It´s my ex-GF´s car, so what should I say...

But it´s fun to smoke a lot of other fast cars with a Hello Kitty airbrushed S15 Silvia :D

...although it doesn´t really runs that well on revs as my twin GTX3076R RB28 BNR34 ;-)

As I´m not a native speaker I have to admit that I don´t really get the point what you are trying to say?

The R34 is not really tuned yet, still just running a redline of 8500rpm and not more than about 1.5 bar of boost...

He's trying to say he hopes you are revving to 11,000rpm and pushing 2.5bar to make your twin GTX3076 worth while.

why do you make reference to motors not being tuned? what tune is it running then?

It´s got an initial tune but nothing final yet...so conservative ignition timing but with adjusted fuelling of course.

I will run as much boost as necessary, same counts for the rev lmiter.

But as doing high-speed runs in Germany is a totally different story than anywhere else in the world, I will definately not beat the shit out of it for longer terms.

Because I do 300kmh+ runs for minutes it would definately kill my engine, no matter how well it´s set up. As said, totally different story than just to to some 0-200 pulls or 1/4 mile runs!

Doing that I´ll produce about 2megawatts of heat that can´t really be absorbed that well...

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.

No not yet - there are a few ways to skin the cat on this one. Given that the new GTX terbs have a 3" inlet (much larger than the 2" GT versions), I am thinking of new 3" piping from the pods to the compressor inlet.

Perth Garrett dealer tells me Garrett have 13 in stock (I assume he means Garrett Australia?). Anyway, part number is 430609-230 and retail inc GST is just shy of $400 per unit.

I ordered this part number and got turbine housings that would suit a silvia SR...It wasn't the compact rear flange mount, so $660 wasted...

I'm on the hunt again for rear housings...

Nws mate.

Otherwise gotta stay -5 :(

exactly. I had gt-ss,. bought -5 already. car beeing stored in 4 weeks no time for heavy custom works! and not sur eif the all the xtra hassle is worth the extra 50hp at this point)

The additional 50hp ain´t worth it - but 400rpm sooner RPM on a dyno and a much smoother power transition on the road are worth it.

And your drivetrain won´t be f**ked as hard...

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
