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.

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 :(

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...

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
