Wow. What an incredible read!

Now I'm thinking that my choice of -5s wasn't such a great idea.

Those Gtx's work wonders but I presume better match stokers rather than 2.6

Also nissan4life sensational driving.

Was that at QR?

Shame you sold the car would have loved to see it.

The boost got up to 33psi with the 478kw, but at the track that day I was winding it down to 27ish.

Don't worry about the -5's purchase, that's what i have used to put the GTX 2863 cores into. If you are 2.6L the GTX2860's will be a better fit.

Yeah mate that was at QR, cheers for the kind words on my driving, but I still got ways to go yet. I have been getting some practice driving an SR3 Radical of Paul Stokells, so that has been good.

Thanks Simon, think I will have a look at the GTX2860'S

Yeah, I know Paul Stokell racing gives great opportunities for those are looking for it, good stuff.

I will be venturing up QR again very, very soon ;)

I would like to know how the front compressor housing works for RB26 :

Do we have to pick a RB skyline front housing, the chra gtx2860 and the -5 rear housing and it all bolt on ?

or does the Front housing is machined to the CHRA and bought like that ? Because I can't seems to find any shop selling gtx2860r with RB style ( only see it advertised on atp for the gtx2863)

Yes, but compressor housing needs to be machined. I believe -5 comp housings should be used

Although I cannot confirm this, I don't think it would be long before Garrett Honeywell puts this on their marketing table and hopefully sells it RB style.

Not that hard for them to do really and the extra $$$ they will get for it as well

Okay, I got all excited, just to realise that theres like 600$ of machining involved. A little too rich for my blood then :S

It's a drop in the ocean considering it's one of the main parts directly influencing power delivery.

I will think about it, but still.. chra = 1200$ shipped x2. worn-out -5 ( maybe 300-400$ for both) + 2x actuator 80$ + 600 machining = 3500$ .might as well consider the efr8374 ( oops I dont want to open a can of worn! sorry)

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
