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...

Got a graph that shows that?

It can be seen on the Dynosheets I posted above, although the boost pressure reading is wrong on the one with the GT2530´s it gives an indication when full boost was achieved (around 4800rpm), compared to around 4400 using the GTX.

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...

I got mine delivered in 4 days, don't have part number though as they have been sent to shop.

  • 1 month later...

Well my setup is finally sorted and on the road. Tune will be next after run in.

Can't wait to put some boost into these babies!!!

Can´t wait to see the graph when it´s done :-)

We managed to get 604whp on a Mustang Dyno at 1.7 bar with more ignition timing (about 20 degree, last time on a Superflow we only managed to get around 415whp with 10 degree).

hey gtrsean, any reason why you decided to add flanges to the compressor housings, rather than using silicon couplings?

The rear turbo in particular is the main issue, as the snout of the turbo is basically hard against the dump pipe, and no silicone hose will last there longer that 5 minutes

Funny you say that , because you are the one saing you were dissapointed with your result..

Damn! So its possible to fit the turbo oem piping with these turbos? are you modified the piping or its the housing?

I was disappoint regarding absolute numbers, but not about the power delivery.

Before the remap we / Steve from FC Tuning did now, there was no fair comparison possible between the HKS GT2530 we had before and the GTX2860R we use now - as the HKS´s were mapped "a bit", but the GTX were not.

To be precisely: about 15 degree ignition timing at 1.35 bar got us more power with the HKS than with the GTX at 1.7 bar and 9 degree.

But the GTX at about 21 degree ignition timing are a whole different story then ;-)

Have you posted your last final-tune sheet? I thought I only saw the first one which was dissapointed.

I'm still wondering myself if I keep the -5 or try to get a little extra from my rb26.

P.S: 20 timing seems a lot!!

It´s in the RB30 hybrid dyno thread ;-)

20 degree is not that much, taking into account that I use 102 octane pump fuel...

If you compare that sheet to the last (disappointing) one I posted, you can clearly see how much later torque etc. is produced - as the dyno did not use it´s eddy-current brake.

So I bet on the Superflow I´d see about 650hp and 550lbft...with 2 bar of boost (so fuel pump issue resolved), 700hp should be no problem!

BTW the car drives absolutely fine on the road! Full throttle in 2nd gear, no traction issues using 265/35R18 Toyo R888 on the rear...in a GTR this would be a dream to drive from the starting line!

I can prove otherwise on my own car. do a bit of clearancing with a die grinder, wrap the dump pipe, done.

Are you ceramic coating the dumps and wrapping them? I know in my case, HPI dumps, the clearance is fark nothing with -5's.

Compressor housings were cut and welded to fit up oem plumbing. It's not as easy as just bolting them in. I got flanges welded onto the compressor outlets, and welded the intake piping onto compressors as well after porting them out.

I wanted stock plumbing, so no silicone joiners and aftermarket plumbing. Heat would be a problem too as blue_vl_t mentioned :).

Here's a link to my build thread (last few pages for GTX's), if you want to read more about the setup: http://www.skylinesa...89#entry6615289

Instead of buying turbo elbows, just build your own - that way you can maximize size and still gain some space towards the rear turbo :whistling:

Got any pics of those fitted? I doesn't look like you gain that much compared to my tomei dumps

Are the tomei REAL 3 inch dumps? That´s the only one I could find where you can see the custom dump pipes...but it was before the GTX came in.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
