I think most people are using gtx63s' because one can just machine the housing profile. comp ID/OD 47.1/63.4 mm

With the gt60 the comp ID/OD is 47.2/60.1 mm

The gtx60 comp ID/OD is 45.7/60 mm so an insert sleeve needs to be fitted to the housing to reduce the inlet diameter to suit the comp wheel which is what I have done. Would cost someone a bit to get this done.

The HKS 2530, 2510 and GT2860-5 housings are identical size wise.

I did not want any more power just better delivery.

Plus I like machining stuff.

Garrett require 0.28mm (11/1000") clearance housing to wheel so the clearance will be slightly excessive using a 63 with GT or HKS comp housings.

Which might be a good thing anyway with that wheel.

I also have 2 x gtx2863 CHRAs brand new and 2 x Skyline compressor housings for GTX2863 also brand new. Both of which I purchased from ATP in the States as I was originally going to fit them but have now gone with GTX2860/skyline housings. I may sell them if anyone is interested.

Okay from what you're saying, I can't whack my HKS2530 front housings on a GTX2860 core, and I can't even grind them to fit because they are actually too big? (So I'd need to sleeve them?)

I have my my factory housings, are they usable?

For a GTR, the only solution is to use the factory housings and machine the GTX cores into them. Works quite well.

Speak to Tao at Hypergear, I think he did a pair recently so should have all the tooling required.

I guess you could use the OEM comp hsg so sleeving is not required, In my humble opinion this would be a compromise so I just used some old HKS2530 hsgs which are T04B style (aka 5s) with an AR of 0.6

The OEM hsg. A/R is 0.42 and although from what I have read the A/R on the comp. side does not affect things too much unlike the hot side A/R which has a major affect on spool.

Using the OEM comp hsg might make it boost slighty earlier possibly hotter also. Just what I have read.

Anyway I prefer the HKS 2530/2510 gt2860r-5 housings of 0.6 A/R.

I just turned up 2 x 6061 aluminium alloy sleeves 60.00mm OD 42mm ID x 48mm long. Bored out housing to 59.94mm . heated the housing up with heat gun (measuring it to make sure its bigger than 60.00mm) , cooled the sleeves down in freezer then dropped sleeves in the housings. Once cooled machine the profile to suit . Interference fit is permanent like welding but no distortion. I put 2 scotch keys in as well although that was overkill but thats me. The important thing is the 0.06mm interference!. Best not to press it in cold either as it may gall.

Hope this helps some people out wanting to use GTX2860r CHRAs' with Skyline housings.

Keeping my fingers crossed they will be better than my 5s in every way.

Watched that Motive Garage youtube clip where they put the -5 into a -7 housing.

Works well, has me wondering why GCG have not put a gtx in one yet.

A few guys on this thread have done it with -5 housings and GTX2863 chras, no wot surge...could hear the odd bit but GTX2860 should be safe imo.

I watched all of those clips from Motive Garage and really liked the Getrag in the 32 keeping the 4.1s hmmmm, definitely will look into that one for the my 33. Already has the OS gearset but what the hell.

Looks good Mike, they will work much better than the old melted down coke can cast compressor wheels. Should have incorporated surge slots into the sleeve. :P

Hey Scotty, the thought crossed my mind but I'm hoping it will not surge heh heh

Cheers!

thought you may be interested in this as it seems to come with everything done already (although cant justify the price nor postage silly yankees)

but if you are just purchasing the GTX CHRA cartridge then machining the front comp housing to fit will work IMO

Queried that one about 5 months ago to ask if the picture was representative

of the product. They never replied.

Looks like a GT2860 to me with cast wheel.

Bit of a con imo

You can buy gtx63 gtx67 proper machined skyline hsgs from ATP online.

could be right. very hard to trust any on-line listings these days

I would prefer buying the GTX cartridge from Sonic Peformance and go from there

I bought mine from TM Sports and Racing in Spain (biggest Garrett dealer there) and shipped to Japan very cheaply and quickly.

To give you an idea of prices in $A gtx2860 chra TMsports $1060 Sonic $ 1540 ATP $1468 GCG-Japan $2000 GCG-Aus $1780.

Is there anybody offering Turbos with GTX Wheels that bolt onto the factory RB26dett manifolds and dumps, I take it Garrett doesn't offer anything like this?

Thanks

Just noticed ATP turbo has the RB comp housing as an option on many of their turbos, including larger options like the GTX3071.

Link to GTX2863R as an example:

http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=GRT-TBO-186&Category_Code=GTX

  • 4 weeks later...

Are there any more developments of getting the GTX2860R onto the RB26 with the factory style front and rear housings?

Looks like it is right in the middle of the -9 and -5

I would love to stick this on my car but the whole intake side of things is a pain in the ass.

Anyone running GTX2867's on a 3L yet?

I want to :(

Won't fit though. The size of the compressor map and garretts recommendation says it should be ok on a mild 3L build. Would be curious to see how it goes

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
