So any graphs of these turbos vs -5s from your tuner to give an idea of torque and power through the 4,000-6,000rpm range?

I don't have a graph but initial grunt on mine at 5000 RPM is 365-375 RWKW at 24 psi. Rough figures as cams haven't been touched yet. That's on -5's.

I'd like to see what gtx's @ 5k make on a similar setup

Well fast forward to now and I am building a new engine for it.

Reason being oil in the coolant. On teardown I found cracks in the deck (marked in green). The oil was seeping pass the cracks at the headbolt holes and into the coolant galleries. I thought at first it was the dreaded cylinder head. Fingers crossed no more oil in the coolant with this one.

The old engine has had 3 different turbo setups on it, gtx2860', hks T51r spl and '5's. She was a good donk since 2012 until the cracked deck.

So while I was getting another virgin rb26 block machined I went ahead and bought a nitto 2.8 stroker kit. One reason why I didn't reuse the tomei setup was the crank and shorter rods. It is not a full counter crank, so the setup was replaced.

New setup will run on e85 and the Gtx2860 turbos.

Setup as follows:

05u block 86.5mm

Ported head with bigger intake valves

Nitto 2.8 stroker kit

Arp studs

N1 water pump

Nitto oil pump

Ati 1000hp damper

High octane Crank trigger kit

Acl race bearings

Otomoto 260deg vcam

Jun 252deg exhaust cam

Haltec ecu

Frenchies performance billet fuel hat and twin walbro 450L pumps

1350cc injectors

Twin feed rail

Will be good to get it all back together and run in. Dunno what it'll put out on the dyno but it should be good.

Also got the getrag box freshened up and rebuilt with carbon synchros and a new 2nd gear, hub, slider etc, as the synchro teeth had seen better days.

Front prop shaft was also rebuilt with new uni joints.

Don't ask how much all this costs. I could of sold this car and bought a 35gtr, but couldn't bring myself to do it. Hope I made the right choice!

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
