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.

    • 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.
