Nothing wrong with the stock BOV.

Agree, hence the reason for sticking with stock bovs. Also have replaced the actuators with HKS items.

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

No boost drop with your exhaust gear? Similar specs with HPI dumps, Mines front pipe pro, Amuse Titan R1 on mine.

I should have also mentioned that both tunes are on BP98. I was somewhat surprised by the power GTX made on low 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.

I knew that head jobs are worth it

Which setup are you talking about?

With the RS's it was choked to hell and back. Ran it upto 30 psi and it gained a whopping 12 kW (414 rwkw)

You wouldn't be suggesting the Japanese catalogue parts were restrictive and shit would you? cause that would be a travesty

Not suggesting anything, just laying it out how it happened. Take what you will from the results.

I was referring to your -5 tune. Did you experience boost tapering on -5 with the exhaust set up you mentioned?

With it would up it would hit 29-30 at 4300 or so then taper back to 26 iirc. Seemed like they're just out of puff

Drop the gain back a tad and it would hold 25 the whole way through.

maybe we should do a group buy for machined comp covers?

would anyone be keen?

I would be, it would interesting if we could get a surge port in the insert as well.

I've got some -5s sitting here that Im musing about putting some GTX wheels into. im running E85 and HKS2530s with B poncams on a 2.6 at the moment and am concerned with overspeeding them as I dont have a compressor map. running 23psi and ~400awkw currently.

even comparing the GT and GTX 60mm maps, the GTX moves more air at the same turbo speed, and has a far higher upper speed limit being billet. wanting to run 25-28psi, goal is for relatively responsive 450kw with [email protected].

depends on cost, otherwise I'd throw the lot and go an EFR8374/Precision 6262 or gen2 6062. I do like the idea of a stock engine bay making 700hp though.

Leave it as it is and run 25-28psi through the 2530's, like piggaz did to make ~470kw

People were making that power on those turbos 10yrs ago.

is your 2.6ltr still stock internals?

you could sell those -5 housings to me?

He runs 5's not 2530's & theres no way a 2.6L with a stock head will make that kinda power on them ;) Edited by Mick_o

fresh JHH built 26, forged 87mm pistons, forged rods, r34 crank, ARP studs everywhere, ATI balancer, Tomei oil pump, PAC beehives with 105lb seat, head has been clearanced for big cams later on and ports cleaned up. new guides and recut valves. currently only using [email protected] cams. port/turbine matched manifolds, HKS2530s, midori seibi 3" dumps and mines equal length front pipe 70x2 to 85mm. everything ceramic coated. and a 120mm intercooler.

is there any real difference at 25+psi between the -5s and 2530s in practice? im concerned being such old tech they won't like higher pressure ratios as much as the garrets, especially the GTX. for all i know the -5 and 2530s are identical except for marketing and a BS trim value.

I know, but everyone is aware by now that they are albeit the same thing. If anything, 2530 will flow more ;)

We are talking turbos. They will/can/have do/done it.

The "bs trim value" is the size of the actual wheel, the -5 has a slightly smaller compressor wheel, not sure about the turbine wheel tho

But 3530s will generally slightly out flow -5s

I figured it was just a point of difference for marketing reasons for HKS gear, so garret wasn't encroaching on turf with the -5s.

just did the calcs if trims are accurate, -5 inducer is 47.325mm.. hks is 47.7mm. so i guess that's somewhat "significant"

Sweet. if the compressor wheel is up to it I'll wind up the wick on them and see where I end up. will hopefully rig up a differential pressure sensor across the turbine to see what its up to. I've got a EGT port in each manifold and the narrowband bung in the dump to connect it to.

cheers all.

iv seen hks 2530's on a STD Rb26 with long duration low lift cams hit 430kw on 2bar.

the gtx2863 @2bar has a better chance of giving you that 700 fly hp on a 2.6ltr though

Edited by mr skidz

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

Just overlayed these in excel quickly.. there is nothing in it other than 0.16 Bar more boost on the -5s. interesting! at same boost level i guess you'd be looking at an extra 25kw or so.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
