On a 2.6 you definitely need the right setup/method to be responsive :)

Daz has the right ingredients and method heheh!

By the way Daz I wasn't trying to be a smart arse :) I had good results from GTX2860's with a stroker setup, stock cams and BP98, but went shit when I put in cams and got another tuner to tune the setup when I headed north...

love to see the dyno plot as there's nobody who has shown one yet for these turbos.

Why so many questions on my set up RP are the sickest bro :)

I understand you made shit numbers and I'm guessing that's why you won't disclose your numbers?

We're all here to elevate performance of our cars in a collaborative n helpful way.

At least I thought that's what it was all about.

2 z32's been on the dyno in the last week. 1 with gtx2863's made 565.7rwkw @ 30psi (450+kw by 4500rpm). It actually mades 565kw at 5800rpm.

The other has gtx2867's. It made 770rwhp @ 32psi. Laggier tho as it had no vtc.

that's mega, I noticed Z32s respond well to the gtx 63s. thanks for sharing too

The VG30+GTX2863 combo is purely mental. I imagine however that most people would have a mental breakdown or two getting everything right with the build to get those great numbers though. Was the GTX2863 car yours mike?

Why not share your results?

he made over 400wkw on a built 2.6L on 2863's, prolly won't share because he blew his engine up.

I just wanted to know how it ramped up compared to Simon's 2.8L with same 2863's.

I'll soon find out tho :)

Nah not mine Pete, one in Syd and one in Perth. The one in Syd has had a few hicups such as 2 snapped cams.

I am still on 98 but that will change soon. inb4e85cheat

I'm sure it varies, the tighter the tolerance the better it will work, but too tight and it may rub once the bearing tolerance gets loose.

I would say .4mm would be ballpark. Hopefully someone with BB turbo machining experience pops up as I suspect you can go with less clearance with a BB core.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
