My gtx 2860s with 33 compressor housings are done... And I can't pick them up for 2 weeks. Oh well, let the suspense continue!

just as I'm about to buy 2 GTX2863 cores!!

I might wait n see how you go lol

if those 60s hit at least 420 430kw with those oe housings I'm so doing it.

You may have to wait a while, they shall be going onto the shed shelf at first as I'm doing a road trip to Victoria for 3 weeks straight after i get back.

But yeah as above the 60s should indeed flow a tad more than -5s.

60's would want to hit 420 rwkw considering it's not too hard to do that on bog stock -5's on E85 but without the brain damage.

brain damage?

That's carrying on a bit isn't it?

He's using a .42 compressor cover not a .60 one, we've been through this before haven't we?

Pete's obviously after better spool then dash fives and better response with Power close to a dash 5 or better.

-5's in the .42 compressor cover didn't do 420kw in a .42 comp cover!

Max boost only saw 383kw,

but you expect a lot from a GTX2860 combo that's never been done before and documented?

Let's just praise Pete for actually giving it a go regardless of the result it will spool good.

Here's the pic of the 383kw -5 in .42 compressor cover.

Mmm, 30psi by 4500rpm.

For reference, when you say custom intake piping, you mean the standard gtx anti surge covers with piping made up to suit them?

Yes thats correct. Custom inlet piping to replace the OEM setup.

Can you see a reoccurring theme here?

You put bigger wheels into smaller housings and they fail. Simple as that!

Hate to break it to you guys but billet GTX wheels aren't the magic cure for the issues that plague the stock configuration like you are dreaming up. Look at Gavin here he's ditched the factory plumbing and "HEY PRESTO" hello to some response & power! Garrett obviously put these compressor wheels into these comp covers for a reason don't you think?

But the big issue which you keep overlooking is the turbine housings. GTX wheels require higher pressure ratios to make the power over the old GT series its well documented and i have experienced it 1st hand with my own GT-GTX experience. Now how do you get your turbine to keep up with your magic billet compressor wheel???

Let me answer that for you just in case you're unsure? ;)

YOU CANT WITH THE FACTORY GTR REAR OR -5 REAR THE GTX WHEELS OUT FLOW THOSE TURBINES!!!

YOU CANT WITH THE FACTORY GTR REAR!!!

judging by your comments you don't know much.

Go back like 10 pages re read.

I'll do it for you.

SIMONS R34

*Std inlet pipes

*Std cooler

What SHIT were you saying again?

You should know your shit before posting garbage it misleads people that don't know better.

LMFAO!

Lol what does that prove? Clearly you know f**k all as there was nothing misleading in what i said so LMFAO ;)

Pauls -5 results beat that so whats ya point? As good a result as it may be its not setting the world on fire nor is it proving that the effort gone into f**king around with GTX's to bolt on is worth while. In fact it makes my point very valid because shitty old -5's still beat it!

Who said anything about winning races? You are the 1 who posted up a graph telling me i didn't know SHIT & that im posting misleading information yeah? You posted a graph of 88lb GTX turbos running 33psi of boost & then i mentioned a set of 72lb GT turbos running 28psi making more power. Can you see where im going with this?

Hate to break it to ya mate but i setup cars for a living and have been working in 1 of the most reputable shops in this land/ possibly in the world who sell parts globally and setup the worlds fastest time attack cars. So im not just some internet muppet staring at graphs making assumptions talking shit via a keyboard.

Whats your claim to fame?

well you said PAULS FIGURE BEATS SIMONS!

I was stating twice now that it's not a race so how does one lose if it's not a race?

So you work in a workshop, you must know everything?

This is why I think your not very smart and now it's on record Mick_o

How is a GTX2863 crammed in a 707160 -5 foreign housing an 88lb turbo ???

GARRETT DID NOT PROVIDE ANYONE A COMPRESSOR MAP FOR A GTX2863 IN A DASH 5 HOUSING! !

its that simple.

Sorry you don't understand, maybe I'm not famous enough for you to pay attention to me.

What if I said I hold the record for the heaviest bench press at my gym, would that be classed as a claim to faim?

Your clogging this thread up too btw.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • 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.
