Hello,

I am attempting to drop a GTX2863 in and i was wondering if anyone has tried this setup, or currently running it. Supporting mods will be Blitz SE FMIC, Nistune, Z32 AFM, 650cc injectors, fuel pump, 3-1/2" full jap exhaust, and a couple of other little computer bits and pieces. Stock internals, but healthy engine. I've been told around 250-290rwkw (maybe) on around 16 or so PSI, depending on tune. Before anyone asks why I'm not putting a GT3067 or something on, its because i want response, fast spool, and stock fitment. Also I can get one quite cheap, brand new installed for $1600 with everything needed to fit it.

Usually these turbos go great on a RB26 or something. Im sure one would run well, being rated for around 315rwkw.

Thanks anyone who has the time to reply, I appreciate your help.

John.

They are not rated to 315rwkw, more like 315kw at the crank. There is no straight bolt-on version that I am aware of, you'd need an aftermarket/custom kit - be that including a modified/aftermarket housings or whatever. It will most likely require a reasonable amount of custom work.

I see, well I'm assuming he has the kit or modded housing that will go straight on. Apparently this guy has sold a couple of them. I think 315kw at the crank will still be around my goal power.

Anyways. Does it sound like too much work and money for only 315kw at the crank. I could just lash out, spend another couple of hundred and buy a GT3076, or GT-RS or something similar.

At least these are tested and proven. It sounds pretty sad to say, but I've seen some pretty good GT3076 deals with hose kits and gaskets, including new exhaust manifold for around the $2k mark. (I would prefer a low mount though)

Thanks for your help.

The GTX2863 is a tinny turbo. I don't believe they can pump 315rwkws.

I made a billet 64mm and 68mm comp wheel and used them in a customized one trim larger +2mm exd turbine based on the GT28 in a .86 rear and only managed to squeeze 276rwkws out of the 64mm and 298rwkws out of the 68mm. Those are E85 results on high mount externally gated setup.

My prediction on the GTX2863 is probably 230rwkws on pump 98 if used on stock manifold internally gated only if you run it on .86 rear. They will be red hot on .64.

spend another couple of hundred and buy a GT3076, or GT-RS or something similar.

i use a gt3076 with .63 rear. its very responsive. have no issues with it, standard manifold with mild porting, internal gate. using a apexi avcr boost controller as the small rear housing causes boost spikes. boost controller fixes this. i went from a gtrs to a 3076 and for the power difference (which dosnt feel like much, no dyno run as of yet) i wish i went for the .82 housing and sacrifice response over power.

point is get a 3076 with a small housing over the gtrs. thats my 2 cents. most people frown on a small housing gt3076r on a rb. best results will require WMI or E85 and external gate.

For what you would get from a GTX2863 on an RB25 I honestly believe you would be better off with a simple 2IU highflow from Hypergear.

User feedback on the 2IU is hard to overlook, some guys have used it for serious track and hillclimb duties to great success and response is what you would want it to be.

Its just too much effort to put on a 2863 with an unknown guinea pig rear housing when under $1,000 will have your stock turbo bolt back on LIKE STOCK and make the same 250rwkw mark with awesome response too.

You did a search didn't you..... ;)

lol no?

What am I missing?

If its re the 2IU results you know the HG thread is almost my second home, I don't miss anything there. If re 'mystery housing' I actually wasn't making any assumptions, but now that you have called on my mamories I do recall there being one for sale not that long ago, but I could swear it was a 2867 in a sonic housing.. Not 2863.

Feel free to fill me in though.

You are missing nothing it was a lame attempt at humour about searching this site to find answers to questions that have been asked several times. At least this thread has brought up a new turbo combo that we haven't seen results for yet. Nevertheless for 250rwkw-ish it is hard to go past a well made hiflow exactly like you said.

Haha damn man, sorry for being so slow. Was a good call now that I've been spoon fed some IQ.

Agree, it was a quick wind down but still will solve any questions if anyone did search 2863 RB25.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
