Gcg or any turbo company, should b looking at how to adapt the factory housing on the gtx series as they would make a truck load of cash, basically bringing out a hole new line up for gtr low mounts around the world.... Not everyone what's a big dirty cheater single.....

We can already have the stock GTR comp covers machined to fit the GTX2863R.

The problem is they surge ported the GTX covers for a reason. We don't want to 'try it out' in case its a flop and we certainly don't want to spend someone elses money to see.

To answer the question above. Yes the comparisn from -5 to GTX on Tomei manifolds would be enough also

I dont no man, there's a lot of people in this world that have gtr's and low mount twins. They are losing sales because it's a pain in the ass to fit the gtx turbos. So why not design a new cover for em so they can b adapted, could surely couldn't cost that much, I mean they make turbos all day everyday, something like making a housing to fit should b that hard. They have made them all before. I'm guessing, but surely you wouldn't think it was a big deal considering that's what they do....

Wouldn't the bigger inlet and outlet be a major player in the figures, therefore, even if a surge ported cover with 2 bolt outlets could be achieved, it's restricting the gtx design and why it works so well.. Would make it a different turbo altogether. Be hardly worth it to produce a mediocre result from what can be achieved with the original gtx design?

Not really. They are surge ported to allow air to pass on to the exducer faster. It will allow more flow that way but we could back cut the comp cover to achieve a similar result I think.

The GTX turbo bolts straight inside the turbine housing of a -5/7/9 so if you want your comp cover machined up to suit I can get it done for you no problem.

They will be cheap for whoever wants to trial them that way. I'm talking around $1k a piece but that still hasn't been confirmed yet. STILL waiting for return phone calls on it. Hopefully I can chase it up a little more tomorrow

Daniel can you get supertech valve springs at a good price also? might aswell change them also in case the tomei's are a restriction.

Absolutely. Can I sell them to you at a good price though? Hahaha

*looks around to make sure Nismoid isn't watching*

Damn that's a good price Dan.

What price? I don't know what you're talking about.

sorry for the ignorant question but the GT-RSs have a slot in the comp cover, is that a surge port? and ifso would the GT-RSs comp cover go onto the GTX?

I don't think it would make a difference man. The GTX have a much bigger inlet to the comp wheel than the "GTR friendly" turbos.

The GTX low mounts simply just aren't bolt on :(.

i ready to go i have emails elite racing with all my detail and im ready for anything they want to try i have a shit load of stuff to build the head also if you want a built head and a spare block :P let get the 34 started new project and sponsorship come on guys lets do it for my amazing fiance that has cancer it is her and my dream car lets do it

Hi elite racing iv been trying to contact you about this project if pickups please get back to me today as im about to buy a new step zero stroker kit to build responsive motor please et me know as I dont buy it if im doing this as that stroker kit the say dont push it past 405kw to be safe thanks again guys im willing to get my spare motor shit buy you guys if you want to build it to what ever spec you want thanks again

Hi mate I got your email. I'm not ignoring you but I'm currently booked out until September 5th so getting in to reply is something difficult to do (especially because I don't want to give you a 1 line reply)

You being local is a bonus for test fitups so I'm organising a pair to be sent to me for a test fit if you are willing

Are the manifolds on the engine at the moment?

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
