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?

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
