Gcg or any turbo company, should b looking at how to adapt the factory housing on the gtx series as they would make a truck load of cash, basically bringing out a hole new line up for gtr low mounts around the world.... Not everyone what's a big dirty cheater single.....

We can already have the stock GTR comp covers machined to fit the GTX2863R.

The problem is they surge ported the GTX covers for a reason. We don't want to 'try it out' in case its a flop and we certainly don't want to spend someone elses money to see.

To answer the question above. Yes the comparisn from -5 to GTX on Tomei manifolds would be enough also

I dont no man, there's a lot of people in this world that have gtr's and low mount twins. They are losing sales because it's a pain in the ass to fit the gtx turbos. So why not design a new cover for em so they can b adapted, could surely couldn't cost that much, I mean they make turbos all day everyday, something like making a housing to fit should b that hard. They have made them all before. I'm guessing, but surely you wouldn't think it was a big deal considering that's what they do....

Wouldn't the bigger inlet and outlet be a major player in the figures, therefore, even if a surge ported cover with 2 bolt outlets could be achieved, it's restricting the gtx design and why it works so well.. Would make it a different turbo altogether. Be hardly worth it to produce a mediocre result from what can be achieved with the original gtx design?

Not really. They are surge ported to allow air to pass on to the exducer faster. It will allow more flow that way but we could back cut the comp cover to achieve a similar result I think.

The GTX turbo bolts straight inside the turbine housing of a -5/7/9 so if you want your comp cover machined up to suit I can get it done for you no problem.

They will be cheap for whoever wants to trial them that way. I'm talking around $1k a piece but that still hasn't been confirmed yet. STILL waiting for return phone calls on it. Hopefully I can chase it up a little more tomorrow

Daniel can you get supertech valve springs at a good price also? might aswell change them also in case the tomei's are a restriction.

Absolutely. Can I sell them to you at a good price though? Hahaha

*looks around to make sure Nismoid isn't watching*

Damn that's a good price Dan.

What price? I don't know what you're talking about.

sorry for the ignorant question but the GT-RSs have a slot in the comp cover, is that a surge port? and ifso would the GT-RSs comp cover go onto the GTX?

I don't think it would make a difference man. The GTX have a much bigger inlet to the comp wheel than the "GTR friendly" turbos.

The GTX low mounts simply just aren't bolt on :(.

i ready to go i have emails elite racing with all my detail and im ready for anything they want to try i have a shit load of stuff to build the head also if you want a built head and a spare block :P let get the 34 started new project and sponsorship come on guys lets do it for my amazing fiance that has cancer it is her and my dream car lets do it

Hi elite racing iv been trying to contact you about this project if pickups please get back to me today as im about to buy a new step zero stroker kit to build responsive motor please et me know as I dont buy it if im doing this as that stroker kit the say dont push it past 405kw to be safe thanks again guys im willing to get my spare motor shit buy you guys if you want to build it to what ever spec you want thanks again

Hi mate I got your email. I'm not ignoring you but I'm currently booked out until September 5th so getting in to reply is something difficult to do (especially because I don't want to give you a 1 line reply)

You being local is a bonus for test fitups so I'm organising a pair to be sent to me for a test fit if you are willing

Are the manifolds on the engine at the moment?

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
