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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
