The additional 50hp ain´t worth it - but 400rpm sooner RPM on a dyno and a much smoother power transition on the road are worth it.

And your drivetrain won´t be f**ked as hard...

Got a graph that shows that?

It can be seen on the Dynosheets I posted above, although the boost pressure reading is wrong on the one with the GT2530´s it gives an indication when full boost was achieved (around 4800rpm), compared to around 4400 using the GTX.

I ordered this part number and got turbine housings that would suit a silvia SR...It wasn't the compact rear flange mount, so $660 wasted...

I'm on the hunt again for rear housings...

I got mine delivered in 4 days, don't have part number though as they have been sent to shop.

  • 1 month later...

Well my setup is finally sorted and on the road. Tune will be next after run in.

Can't wait to put some boost into these babies!!!

GTX2860's

HPI dump pipes

tomei 2.8

stock cams

ported stock intake pipes

modded GTX compressor housings.

Can´t wait to see the graph when it´s done :-)

We managed to get 604whp on a Mustang Dyno at 1.7 bar with more ignition timing (about 20 degree, last time on a Superflow we only managed to get around 415whp with 10 degree).

hey gtrsean, any reason why you decided to add flanges to the compressor housings, rather than using silicon couplings?

The rear turbo in particular is the main issue, as the snout of the turbo is basically hard against the dump pipe, and no silicone hose will last there longer that 5 minutes

Funny you say that , because you are the one saing you were dissapointed with your result..

Damn! So its possible to fit the turbo oem piping with these turbos? are you modified the piping or its the housing?

I was disappoint regarding absolute numbers, but not about the power delivery.

Before the remap we / Steve from FC Tuning did now, there was no fair comparison possible between the HKS GT2530 we had before and the GTX2860R we use now - as the HKS´s were mapped "a bit", but the GTX were not.

To be precisely: about 15 degree ignition timing at 1.35 bar got us more power with the HKS than with the GTX at 1.7 bar and 9 degree.

But the GTX at about 21 degree ignition timing are a whole different story then ;-)

Have you posted your last final-tune sheet? I thought I only saw the first one which was dissapointed.

I'm still wondering myself if I keep the -5 or try to get a little extra from my rb26.

P.S: 20 timing seems a lot!!

It´s in the RB30 hybrid dyno thread ;-)

20 degree is not that much, taking into account that I use 102 octane pump fuel...

If you compare that sheet to the last (disappointing) one I posted, you can clearly see how much later torque etc. is produced - as the dyno did not use it´s eddy-current brake.

So I bet on the Superflow I´d see about 650hp and 550lbft...with 2 bar of boost (so fuel pump issue resolved), 700hp should be no problem!

BTW the car drives absolutely fine on the road! Full throttle in 2nd gear, no traction issues using 265/35R18 Toyo R888 on the rear...in a GTR this would be a dream to drive from the starting line!

I can prove otherwise on my own car. do a bit of clearancing with a die grinder, wrap the dump pipe, done.

Are you ceramic coating the dumps and wrapping them? I know in my case, HPI dumps, the clearance is fark nothing with -5's.

Compressor housings were cut and welded to fit up oem plumbing. It's not as easy as just bolting them in. I got flanges welded onto the compressor outlets, and welded the intake piping onto compressors as well after porting them out.

I wanted stock plumbing, so no silicone joiners and aftermarket plumbing. Heat would be a problem too as blue_vl_t mentioned :).

Here's a link to my build thread (last few pages for GTX's), if you want to read more about the setup: http://www.skylinesa...89#entry6615289

Instead of buying turbo elbows, just build your own - that way you can maximize size and still gain some space towards the rear turbo :whistling:

Got any pics of those fitted? I doesn't look like you gain that much compared to my tomei dumps

Are the tomei REAL 3 inch dumps? That´s the only one I could find where you can see the custom dump pipes...but it was before the GTX came in.

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
