Hi guys,

I have Gav's GTX2863R kit available for sale from when he was the pioneer of these things and chose to go down the custom route when you retain the GTX front covers as Garrett intended. If anyone is interested please see the below link.

Thanks,

Wes

 

damn all of that for 70-90 more ponies >_<  where does the power come at now? still above 4k?

Go back to the start of this thread and read the first 10 pages or so. Everything is there.

 

70-90 HP is nothing to sneeze at!

depends on where you are in the hp if you have 100hp and add 70-90 its a big deal , but when you are around 2k 70-90 is not that much :P

You just need to source a HKS turbine housing from a 2530 or 2535 to make it bolt-on to your existing manifold and downpipe. Just new line and some silicone couplers to adpat it to your piping.

 

And I agree, I also think it would be a very good match to a 20.

Of course, but it needs some more fiddling to make it fit. Also to keep the rb20 reviness I think it would be good to take it in T4 TS 0.80 a/r. On most SR I could find on youtube the torque was falling off quickly beyond 6000 rpm or so. Opening up the exhaust is the solution i guess as the EFR turbine wheels are not as good flowing as the garrett ones.

I was looking at the Sonic Performance turbo but idk if they will ship to the US, sent them an email though.

I am more or less looking for a bolton solution which EFR6758 I don't think has a turbine housing that is skyline fitment.

In the US it might be hard to obtain a skyline turbine housing so I might have to accept I won't be getting one, however I'm curious how the Hypergear SS1 compares at this point. Basically my final choice if I want a stock fitment turbo that is billet and ball bearing.

I take it a RB25 housing won't work for this?

Nope a rb25 housing will not fit the GTX28 turbine unless you machine it. And still I don't think the garrett CHRA could be bolted to the RB25 housing.

And yes I was also tempted for a sonic performance unit for a time, as you mentioned it : ball bearing, billet, bolt-on. I couldn't buy it at that time and went kinugawa. And today all I want is an EFR as getting a bolt-on turbo is no longer mandatory. And EFR are far from bolt-on, not a huge amount of work for a 25 as the EFR 7064 .83 is already T3 flanged, you just need lines and a vband downpipe. But for the smaller and less breathing 20 it will be to big for street use. So you'll need to look toward the B1 frame which does not come T3 flanged but rather T25 or T4.

If your really want a bolt-on solution : hypergear, sonic performance (you'll need lines and some silicone couplers though), kinugawa (silicone couplers needed).

Really the only reason I want a bolton turbo is that I want to keep the stock manifold, turbo position, and my exhaust. If there is a stock position downpipe that goes to the exhaust I have I would be open to it and it would open my options. Though all I have seen were top mount downpipes.

Thanks for the replies.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
