My gtx 2860s with 33 compressor housings are done... And I can't pick them up for 2 weeks. Oh well, let the suspense continue!

just as I'm about to buy 2 GTX2863 cores!!

I might wait n see how you go lol

if those 60s hit at least 420 430kw with those oe housings I'm so doing it.

You may have to wait a while, they shall be going onto the shed shelf at first as I'm doing a road trip to Victoria for 3 weeks straight after i get back.

But yeah as above the 60s should indeed flow a tad more than -5s.

60's would want to hit 420 rwkw considering it's not too hard to do that on bog stock -5's on E85 but without the brain damage.

brain damage?

That's carrying on a bit isn't it?

He's using a .42 compressor cover not a .60 one, we've been through this before haven't we?

Pete's obviously after better spool then dash fives and better response with Power close to a dash 5 or better.

-5's in the .42 compressor cover didn't do 420kw in a .42 comp cover!

Max boost only saw 383kw,

but you expect a lot from a GTX2860 combo that's never been done before and documented?

Let's just praise Pete for actually giving it a go regardless of the result it will spool good.

Here's the pic of the 383kw -5 in .42 compressor cover.

Mmm, 30psi by 4500rpm.

For reference, when you say custom intake piping, you mean the standard gtx anti surge covers with piping made up to suit them?

Yes thats correct. Custom inlet piping to replace the OEM setup.

Can you see a reoccurring theme here?

You put bigger wheels into smaller housings and they fail. Simple as that!

Hate to break it to you guys but billet GTX wheels aren't the magic cure for the issues that plague the stock configuration like you are dreaming up. Look at Gavin here he's ditched the factory plumbing and "HEY PRESTO" hello to some response & power! Garrett obviously put these compressor wheels into these comp covers for a reason don't you think?

But the big issue which you keep overlooking is the turbine housings. GTX wheels require higher pressure ratios to make the power over the old GT series its well documented and i have experienced it 1st hand with my own GT-GTX experience. Now how do you get your turbine to keep up with your magic billet compressor wheel???

Let me answer that for you just in case you're unsure? ;)

YOU CANT WITH THE FACTORY GTR REAR OR -5 REAR THE GTX WHEELS OUT FLOW THOSE TURBINES!!!

Go back like 10 pages re read.

LMFAO!

Lol what does that prove? Clearly you know f**k all as there was nothing misleading in what i said so LMFAO ;)

Pauls -5 results beat that so whats ya point? As good a result as it may be its not setting the world on fire nor is it proving that the effort gone into f**king around with GTX's to bolt on is worth while. In fact it makes my point very valid because shitty old -5's still beat it!

Who said anything about winning races? You are the 1 who posted up a graph telling me i didn't know SHIT & that im posting misleading information yeah? You posted a graph of 88lb GTX turbos running 33psi of boost & then i mentioned a set of 72lb GT turbos running 28psi making more power. Can you see where im going with this?

Hate to break it to ya mate but i setup cars for a living and have been working in 1 of the most reputable shops in this land/ possibly in the world who sell parts globally and setup the worlds fastest time attack cars. So im not just some internet muppet staring at graphs making assumptions talking shit via a keyboard.

Whats your claim to fame?

well you said PAULS FIGURE BEATS SIMONS!

I was stating twice now that it's not a race so how does one lose if it's not a race?

So you work in a workshop, you must know everything?

This is why I think your not very smart and now it's on record Mick_o

How is a GTX2863 crammed in a 707160 -5 foreign housing an 88lb turbo ???

GARRETT DID NOT PROVIDE ANYONE A COMPRESSOR MAP FOR A GTX2863 IN A DASH 5 HOUSING! !

its that simple.

Sorry you don't understand, maybe I'm not famous enough for you to pay attention to me.

What if I said I hold the record for the heaviest bench press at my gym, would that be classed as a claim to faim?

Your clogging this thread up too btw.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
