They spec the normal GTX2863 for 2000 bucks including the normal 3"/2" compressor housing for 2000 bucks, so an extra 200 bucks for a gtr style compressor housing machined out to fit doesn't seem that bad to me...

anyone have any thoughts on the response difference running GTX2863s on a 2.6 instead of a 2.8?

im trying to gauge how the'd go on mine after seeing the dyno plots on a 2.8. im guessing a similar difference between the -5 and GTX plots just moved slightly up the rpm scale?

Why bother....OK apart from Legality (which aftermarket turbos still dont cover you for).....

how did I know that video was what was in the link.

old tech twins vs new tech billet single

should have used a GT3582 from an XR6 turbo. that would have been a better comparison since the compressor wheels are all of similar design and the only variable would have been twin vs single.

What if he had used newer gtx2863 vs older gt3582 single?

I posted this in the comments of the video but I'm still awaiting a reply

To be fair, he is correct in that he's comparing two common setups. Not many are running around with GTX2863's still.

but it not about comparing "common" setups it was all about "low twins vs single".

his single setup uses a 50mm ex gate which looks to be to atmosphere, plus his 3.5" exhaust which helps with the response mid topend power.

he should have plumbed the gate back in before the cat. to make it a fair fight.

Not siding either way as I'm after a stock appearance myself.

+1 for stock appearance

That video is a good summary of my feeling going from twins to the 6262

He seems to have epic power from -9s though or a slightly happy dyno?

-7 housings with -5 wheels I believe, Pete.

^yeah, that's why I'm super keen to see a pair of GTX2860's in -7 housings. I'm curious how hard they'll go in the .42 compressor covers.

Also worth noting is the stock head work and tomei poncams with only 9.1mm lift!

GTX2863 are not bolt on. He says in the opening lines what the comparison is and goes through all the pros and cons.

Haven't most of the graphs of gtx turbos proven they don't spool quicker but they make more power?

So using an older gt style 3582 would just not make as much top end

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
