gtx2860's would be perfect on my 2.8 on E85 i reckon!

just gotta find someone to do the -5 .60 a/r comp cover sleeve job, any suggestions?

who's trustworthy enough not f@#k it up!

Is it not worth just going with the 63 instead so you don't need a sleeve?

On compressor map there is a difference but I think it would be negligible on road.

I reckon the 60mm Billet would be worth every bit the hassle and hit say 600 horse at the wheels faster than a 63 would and I'm not sure I want any more than that I would rather max a 60 mil wheel out rather than have a 63 and push it 70%.

Most importantly I'm after longevity reliability

63mm comp wheel really would be better off with a 61 to 63mm turbine wheel to match.

Garrett should get their act together and make one up.

how hard is it

slight mismatch atm

The idea of using the smaller standard GT-R comp housing with the billet 60 mm wheel which is easier to do.

I imagine the response there would be pretty awesome just not sure about how efficient it would be at 25 + psi I would imagine the heat would be a major side effect but I so would like to try that just for shits and giggles.

They do a "GTX 2967". Slightly larger rear wheel but not with the GTX 63 mm front wheel.

Close :\.

I did notice they made that rear wheel option but apparently the shaft is a different size and will not fit the smaller front wheel which has got me stuffed y? that would be the tits I reckon.

You would loose the response then wouldn't you?

well... I think the initial pick up/ spool time will be slower maybe 100-300rpm but billet wheel may now cancel this out being lighter or maybe not as it grabs a bigger handful of air every times it spins which requires more torque/force from the exhaust wheel.

BUT once the slightly bigger turbine wheel starts building boost, that bigger diameter wheel has much more leverage force which in turn gives that compressor a larger more rapid shove to reach its intended rpms for better on boost response.

There's less restriction with bigger turbines as they are better at expelling the wasted exhaust gases without choking up the exhaust side just like a small exhaust system would slow down your compressors ability to ramp up FAST.

which affects RESPONSE.

Thats why -7s -9s -5s are so popular and gt2871 or -10s are not.

I had a 2871 it was good for outright power but choked itself to death after 1.4bar and that was a .86 rear housing too!

hope you can understand why sometimes slightly bigger exh wheels not too big!

can work in our favour

sorry if I rambled a bit too much tired from work.

Is this why you get more transient response in between gear changes, in that the larger wheel has more momentum? I remember vaguely a discussion that implied that even though a turbo with a larger exhaust wheel is laggier to build up boost is less prone to falling off boost on gear changes.

I think any amount of turbine momentum even if it's a small amount it's got to be good..

but I do think it's probably more to do with a big compressor trying to turn hard and fast which it can't do because it doesn't have "enough" help from a smaller turbine wheel there's just not enough torque applied.

In relation to keeping the momentum of the turbo up between gear changes all I would say is run a very well return style blow off valve and aim the return/discharge port directly into the compressors intake path.

So what housings and other parts exactly are being used to make up these theoretical GTX2860 turbo's?
Probably wanting to put a set on my car later on in the year so will need to know what to ask for when i go to get them made up.

read meatheads posts in this thread he's the only one who has done it so far that I have read.

the whole notion that gtx cartridge can fit dash 5 housings was brought to my attention by pigaz.

after gcg told me personally that it was just not possible.

Same thing they told me

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
