On different setups, I ran the GTX2860's with the stock anti surge front housings with welded on flanges in my 2.8. In short they come on boost later than a 2860-5. They are quieter though

he modified the gtx housings to fit the Gtr

Yes married Thursday

I'M back again with more news... mechanic told me my oil seal is leaking and if i dont change it, turbos will need rebuild. Since I'm not doing any mechanic on my car, i thought.. if im going to pay labour $ to have my seal/gasket redone, I might as well check my turbo and swap them with brand new turbos to recover optimal performance of the car.

I found out about a company called Pure turbos..

They ask 1100$ to have both turbos rebuilt with new brass cage and new billet wheel. ( they say it will be as good as brand new turbos , if not better due to brass cage and billet wheel)

Now heres where i need your help... they offer me a 60mm billet wheel which should yeild a 40hp/per turbo upgrade ( probably taken from the gtx2860's figure) and a 63mm which would yeild 80hp/per turbo. They say turbo spool shouldn't be noticeable and if it was their engine, they would go 63mm.

I'm scared the 63mm will actually be too laggy and i have doubt about their claims on spool. if I had 2.8 stroker.. it would be a different story, but I'm only on a rb26 with 86.5mm.

What front compressor housing are you using, normal -5 or surge slotted? You will be more at risk of compressor surge with a bigger compressor wheel.

-5s housing !

Considering you only wanted 500-550 Whp, it's a not brainer. 60 MM wheel!

I also feel the same.. but you know.. if the lag is going to be 200ish rpm and your gaining an extra 40hp/turbo.. it's interesting lol.

200 rpm is heaps!!!!

Very true, people don't seem to understand what a few hundred rpm can do to a car...

My T88 on dyno was only 500rpm (ish) slower to get 15psi on the dyno compared to the 6262, on the road/track it went from being horribly laggy to very responsive

^^ *like*.

Micko's old man changed his exhaust and went back to a stock airbox on his GTR. Overlay the graphs and it was 200 rpm everywhere. TOTALLY different car to drive. It went from a car which did nothing under 5000 rpm to be able to drive it quickly quite easily.

60mm. Do it. Don't forget you have a 2.6 too. A bigger engine you'd get away with it.

Some open pods. Mmmm all that yummy hot air!

It was a 33 though. Different design to a 32 box.

I know I'd make more power going back to an air box but I'd never thought about earlier spool as I wouldn't have thought it would have made a difference.

I'm pretty sure I'd still be fine with a standard box at 325kw.

The whole shebang coming on earlier was more to do with sorting the pos "jap" exhaust out. Getting rid of the rubbish restrictive mufflers and mismatched pipes. Going back to the airbox was just something he did at the same time.

Yep picked up 15-20kw throughout the midrange to redline. Was a night and day difference really was much nicer to drive and also made power feel more progressive not just a BANG & it was alive at 5000rpm :)

There are times I've seen NO difference in spool on the dyno and still a very noticeable difference in practical use - dynos can be quite misleading at times!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
