I have followed this thread before making my mind up on a pair of turbos to go on a RB28. I have back to back results on same car/dyno with -5 (with HKS 2530 turbine housing) and GTX2863 (Machined -5 front housing with HKS2530 turbine housing).

Unfortunately there is a problem with boost drop at high rpm (which I believe has nothing to do with turbos) which does hide true potential but GTX turbos makes more power on lower boost than the -5 as one would expect.

I would like to see GTX2867 results either on a 26 or 28. Has anyone done that?

Dyno sheet post up would help more, you might be experiencing a couple of things how big is your exhaust system what's the smallest id.

headwork/cams fitted?

Your compressor wheel might be pushing more air than the turbine can handle "choking" which is my only fear with using this turbo as revs climb and power increases turbine wheel will struggle to discharge it all.

Anyone seen GTX2860's with oem .42 compressor covers with .64 exhaust housings?

I have a feeling they would hit the 600 horsepower mark at the wheels and be the most responsive thing out there that's my guesstimate especially on a 2.8!

Friday!

So what's happening on Friday?? Tell me you are mounting a pair of 2867 in to a RB28 :D

Skids, I will get the dyno sheets up soon.

I wasn't clear on my last post, the boost drop on high RPM was an issue before fitting GTXs on.

Smallest ID would be 70mm on the front pipes but there are two 70mm pipes merging in to 80mm. Rest of the exhaust system is bigger than 80mm and no cat. Fully ported head. Cams are 270 duration, 10.80 lift.

I doubt it is the turbine side choking as the GT-RS uses similar size turbine with a larger compressor wheel than GTX286X variants.

2867's in a 3.0. Not mine, Daz's.

Merging into an 80 mm? Get rid of that! Bigger

Because the RS's uses the same hot side, doesn't make it correct. The rear is too small on them!

^what he said,

80mm is not big enough would definitely choke top end with -5's or bigger.

read my last couple posts explaining wheel sizes.

Thanks. I do understand what you say about the exhaust. I have replaced front pipe and the full exhaust - no difference. I know of two cars cracking over 500kw with similar spec exhaust systems - steady boost curve all the way. I suspect it is the stock bov ruining it for me.

Anyhow, on to better stuff. Here are the dyno graphs.

2014 = -5

2015 = GTX

Nothing wrong with the stock BOV.

Here is a direct back to back on my own car

Green line is GT -RS's, split dumps, HKS front pipes and a kakimoto full mega N1 cat back.

Pink line is -5's, Tomei bell mouth dumps and a twin 3 inch exhaust.

Smaller turbos, lower boost, more power everywhere.

E85-5sVSE85GTRSs_zps75866719.jpg

Those -5 lines are identical to mine. 20psi by around 4700-4800 rpm. (I have the HKS -5s)

Are you running E85?

I have Tomei Bell mouth dumps and a single 3.5inch exhaust.

hey Piggaz, what changed in your setup to get you from 420 to your 467 was it just the cams added lift or mostly boost?

Cams 260 at 10.85

Head

Went from 86.5 to 87 mm Pistons. My oil pump decided to shatter. And a bit more boost.

For comparison when tuning in the new setup, it went 441 at the same boost level with more mid range. Then the boost controller got turned on.

Extra boost didn't net much in the way of peak numbers (30 kW or so), the midrange however was totally different. 75 kW through the middle iirc from controller off to the full effort.

    • 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!
