I'm not picking on you... But remind us how much power yours makes? Meeting its rating? Actually you are more or less hitting the high average as it is. I dont recall seeing anyone with 300kw results out of one of those housings. Sorry to say, happy to be proven wrong though.

apparently 30% better bro, dont be shy

those avo type housings are tried and tested............ and turned out to be shit you can find plenty of info about them on this forum if you look hard enough. its a lucky dip how it will go, some are usable some are just rubbish and you definitely wont get your 300kw that you want. if you want a simple 300kw follow Stao's mods to the tee and bolt a G3 on it. you should get over 300.

T67-12cm or 35R .82 35R will get u closer to 400, T67 would be more responsive.

Hypergear has some relevant results to that.... Hes shown where the stock manifold caps out and how he went with a stock position log. I think the stock manifold has capped him to 320 but isnt too bad in terms of spool.

You can do anything you set your mind to Especially if you CNC a divided spacer plate to go with it. If I ever own another skyline we will pioneer this one together

should get blake to tig the splitter shut, then machine the flange surface flat again. then use one gate on either side of the splitter...... and bolt a T3 TS GTX3071 to it. wrong thread.. to self.. but had to say it looking at the manifold pron above (not the sexiest thing but theres an element of sex when you know it gets the job done ).

The T3 housing you have is a Kando specific item, it bolts on like a garrett one does. The MHI/Trust style housings clamp on... Like the MHI and Trust ones do. No big deal, its fine.

Sorry I should have been more specific, the garrett site doesnt have the item listed anymore yet there was an SR specific variant of the disco that most of the silvia guys refer to as the '28R'. Same 446179-66 chra with .60 nissan front and .64 rear. GCG sell it as a disco with S15 cover, garrett had an actual part number for it but its since been removed.

if i owned a GTR it would have one of them attached, no ifs no buts.

There is only one answer -_- join Simon on teh epic side

rondofj, i choose you!!!!!!! the email is a few pages back, get cracking

its definitely a real dyno sheet, i dunno where this excel stuff came from. would love to see pics of the car and videos would be awesome, sounds uber cool

Better yet, why don't you pioneer this one and add some legitimacy once Jez tunes it up. I'll lend you some free spanner work to fit it.

do u kno were he livz? letz roll up at hiz place doof doof doof werez ur dyno papa? kick iim

LOL my hero ^

I should also note (so not to sound like a blow ass) GCG don't have GTX28 in stock nor have they tested them. The above comments/opinions were formed on GTX30 range compressors. Not that the design implications wouldnt carry over to the same design on a smaller wheel, 'but ugh ye'.. Last night I dreamt up the idea of getting a FP compressor retro'd into my 28RS, and then called it a brain fart considering the GTX range that will simply slot in and I can resell the RS. Thus the phone calls today to consider validity of swapping compressors.

Get Mick-o's ECU and get your turbo highflowed before you tune it. You dont want to pay for a tune twice once your stock turbo decides to shit itself.

NO CAN DO ACTUALLY. Just spoke to GCG, they said they tried to whack the 'full blade FMW' into customers existing turbos rather than supplying CHRA with comp cover and got negative results. The GCG tech said you need to run the specific 'GTX' surge ported cover. He said without the hi/lo blade design the new compressor NEEDS the specifically done surge slot for the GTX to have any effect. So there you have it, must use the supplied T04S cover... By the sounds of what he said the specs of the surge slot were parramount to its performance. Not something I would trust them to try replicate into the Nissan specific housing unfortunately

One issue I had with the T518Z Kando I used was the IWG path and turbine inlet path design.. There was actually a hard edge in the flow path, I have drawn a diagram to show what it was like: Note that the unshaded area was not curved or shaped in any aerodynamic way, it was simply a hard edge in the flow path.

You dont need to get a 3rd set of hands into the mix, the CHRA will bolt up to the housing. It only needs to be profiled to suit the bigger wheel. The fact the T04S cover can be ported to suit and the fact a 71mm wheel can fit in the said housing tells me it is definitely possible. The only thing is the T04S housing is likely to yield better results, thats what sets a 28R and a Disco appart, and as all ex silvia owners know the Disco is the favoured option over the 28R. 28R despite being the same CHRA is more like a 'T28' than it is a Disco, that would be attributed to the front housing (comparing to a .64 based disco).

Why is everyone worried about the front covers? Why not just call GCG and say how much for GTXxxxx machined into -9/5/10 front covers? Its all the same.... Its realistically no different, a GT2860R and GT2860RS (the silvia specific ones) are the same turbo but different compressor covers. The RS has a T04S front like these GTX ones do, the R has the nissan specific .60 cover.

Roy how much did that 73HTA set you back? I have been considering getting one The ones you see on the FP site are stock fitment with stock based housings for certain models

lol ill ban them all nah its just a forum joke, some forums even have a smiley that holds a sign saying 'pics or ban' like when someone says 'just fitted my te37s' you say 'pics or ban' you said '280kw $400 turbo just got off the dyno' i said 'pics or ban'

More or less.. Kando drops the S from all models except the L2.. Strange that he does that but no big deal. Once you understand the MHI family you read TD06H and TD06SH as the same item, no biggie. You just need to be mindful of the wheel sizes and bladecount on some of the H models as they can vary between 11 and 12 blade.
