If you share that 3.5" exhaust between the 2 GTX63s it is only 1.75" diameter exhaust for each 440hp turbo!

That's a huge ask from 1.75"

That Z32 shows its doable just open up the inlet and exhaust more and if it doesn't work then I'll right them off.

But for now there my 600 wheel horsepower turbo of choice

Front housing machining has been done on my GTX2860's, picked them up from MTQ this morning.

I'm about to do a multi week roadtrip down to Victoria, so they won't be going in for a little while. I'm hoping maybe January. I need to sort out a few things first, like fuel system and exhaust.No point putting them in if something else is holding them back.

Gorgeous wheels pete, how much power are you aiming for?

E85?

Just spin them as hard as you can too..

I've been held up by my machinist he hasn't given me my head back yet so I'm able to delay my turbo choice.

As above, they're -5 housings so .64 ar I believe.

And yes, e85 of course!

Power wise, that's to be determined by my work outlook. Worst case I suppose would be standard engine with arp headstuds. Id still throw a heap of boost in but may be limited

Nothing wrong with the standard bottom end, as you said just wack a set of ARP2000 studs and also maybe some drop in cams and away you go!

One for you pete, GTX2860's custom high mounts on a std 2.6L pulled 373 rwkw on only 17psi using stock ported comp covers and says .73 turbine housings??

Definitely different

Does any body know if a -9 rear housing will work with the gtx cartridge? Wheels are the same diameter just a different trim, 76 vs 62. As i have -9's now was wondering if i just got the machining done and swaped out the cartridges.

edit: Looks like the -9 rear exducer is 34mm while the -5 is 41mm so I'm guessing no, only other question is will a gtx2860 front compressor fit on a 2859r cartridge?

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
