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

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
