I have followed this thread before making my mind up on a pair of turbos to go on a RB28. I have back to back results on same car/dyno with -5 (with HKS 2530 turbine housing) and GTX2863 (Machined -5 front housing with HKS2530 turbine housing).

Unfortunately there is a problem with boost drop at high rpm (which I believe has nothing to do with turbos) which does hide true potential but GTX turbos makes more power on lower boost than the -5 as one would expect.

I would like to see GTX2867 results either on a 26 or 28. Has anyone done that?

Dyno sheet post up would help more, you might be experiencing a couple of things how big is your exhaust system what's the smallest id.

headwork/cams fitted?

Your compressor wheel might be pushing more air than the turbine can handle "choking" which is my only fear with using this turbo as revs climb and power increases turbine wheel will struggle to discharge it all.

Anyone seen GTX2860's with oem .42 compressor covers with .64 exhaust housings?

I have a feeling they would hit the 600 horsepower mark at the wheels and be the most responsive thing out there that's my guesstimate especially on a 2.8!

Friday!

So what's happening on Friday?? Tell me you are mounting a pair of 2867 in to a RB28 :D

Skids, I will get the dyno sheets up soon.

I wasn't clear on my last post, the boost drop on high RPM was an issue before fitting GTXs on.

Smallest ID would be 70mm on the front pipes but there are two 70mm pipes merging in to 80mm. Rest of the exhaust system is bigger than 80mm and no cat. Fully ported head. Cams are 270 duration, 10.80 lift.

I doubt it is the turbine side choking as the GT-RS uses similar size turbine with a larger compressor wheel than GTX286X variants.

2867's in a 3.0. Not mine, Daz's.

Merging into an 80 mm? Get rid of that! Bigger

Because the RS's uses the same hot side, doesn't make it correct. The rear is too small on them!

^what he said,

80mm is not big enough would definitely choke top end with -5's or bigger.

read my last couple posts explaining wheel sizes.

Thanks. I do understand what you say about the exhaust. I have replaced front pipe and the full exhaust - no difference. I know of two cars cracking over 500kw with similar spec exhaust systems - steady boost curve all the way. I suspect it is the stock bov ruining it for me.

Anyhow, on to better stuff. Here are the dyno graphs.

2014 = -5

2015 = GTX

Nothing wrong with the stock BOV.

Here is a direct back to back on my own car

Green line is GT -RS's, split dumps, HKS front pipes and a kakimoto full mega N1 cat back.

Pink line is -5's, Tomei bell mouth dumps and a twin 3 inch exhaust.

Smaller turbos, lower boost, more power everywhere.

E85-5sVSE85GTRSs_zps75866719.jpg

Those -5 lines are identical to mine. 20psi by around 4700-4800 rpm. (I have the HKS -5s)

Are you running E85?

I have Tomei Bell mouth dumps and a single 3.5inch exhaust.

hey Piggaz, what changed in your setup to get you from 420 to your 467 was it just the cams added lift or mostly boost?

Cams 260 at 10.85

Head

Went from 86.5 to 87 mm Pistons. My oil pump decided to shatter. And a bit more boost.

For comparison when tuning in the new setup, it went 441 at the same boost level with more mid range. Then the boost controller got turned on.

Extra boost didn't net much in the way of peak numbers (30 kW or so), the midrange however was totally different. 75 kW through the middle iirc from controller off to the full effort.

    • 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).
