Just got my car back with the GTX2863's in my -5 housings, and it is heaps better, I have 30psi with 638hp at the wheels on E85 now, and the response and power in the mid range picked up heaps.

Can you tell me what needed to be done to the -5 housings to get the GTX cartridge to fit? I have a pair of GTRS's that would benefit from this change.

If you weren't after a big top end then the GTX2860Rs are looking the part compressor map wise . The gaps between GTX60 63 67 are not that big and its interesting the trims go something like 58 56 55 .

On paper the 60mm version looks to be a jack of all trades thought the 63mm one looks to be more GTRS/-10 territory .

Be very interesting to see how the 60mm GTX turbo goes on a standard or mildly warmed RB26 .

Yeah I honestly dont know what to expect from them. 400,450,500. who knows. could only base it on Gav's 63 results @ 27

Should be able to hold 30psi or whatever it takes to get them in range though.

Surging? Never heard of that with these gtx's.

In the stock -5 housings they will surge apparently.

My GTX 3076 surges loudly at part throttle, as the boost comes on. Sounds cool. :P

What was the setup?

Built cammed 2.6 33 gtr, stock airbox, stock cooler, intakes and piping, stock bov's (probably leaking boost.) twin 3 inch exhaust with split dumps (why split? The wastegates should be welded shut imo. 3 inch dumps ftw ;))

Not sure on the turbo chra, other than GTX in -5's.

surges??

mine never did, but they are a frickin animal no doubts at all

Looks like a Melbourne car. Yes?

Yep.

I just fitted 3/4 length Xspurt 2000's in it's rail due to the 1000's blocking with that black gunk. I also fitted a 10 micron paper element filter to trap any further crap in the fuel. It's not the first ethanol car to show these blockages, although mine has been fine.

Can you try find out whether they are 60 or 63's?

Peak torque and ~425kw on 2.6 @ 5k seems pretty impressive.

~ 600nm and 300kw @ 4500rpm..

What are your -5 and 2.8 figures piggaz?

Someone care to overlap a graph with piggaz' graph? should do a back to back for us Paul..

Wonder how much the 2.5" housing limits the performance... Either way, no bad.

These twins would be a ball tearer in the factory compressor housings with Tial rears and external gates welded off the housing, hanging underneath the turbo's. Do it Fatz. :P

Well I do have a kkk t3 twin high mount kit in my shed

Would be a nice upgrade with modern turbos attached and on a 3 litre

Daz was saying this is on a Hubber. Anyone care to have a guess at what the difference is between a hub and roller dyno?

My last figures were 375 kw at 4500, 425 kw at 5000 and 470 (6500) odd up top. Boost was 27 tapering back to 25 top end.

Interestingly was the difference between setting "2" and "3" on my controller. Setting 2 is 23 PSI (give or take) and the midrange was 50 KW less than setting 3.

It would be interesting to have both cars there, get out of one and into the other.

They're 63's IIRC.

Damn stout effort. I'm too wonder if the standard compact housing is/will hamper the GTX's. Power wise it seems up there but it's the apparent surge that might be an issue.

I'm fairly sure that chequered tunings dyno is setup so it's spot on with local roller dynos.

Gav made 500 on less b

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
