from a 2860? 

Do the newer discos go that hard now? 

Customer wants response, and on Garrett's site they say the compressor can flow 475hp vs 400hp of the Gen 1 GTX.

Guess we'll find out soon if it's unicorn shit or actually real.

No more personal car updates until your new daily arrives.

New bathroom looks the goods. Definitely have a go at tiling yourself. Its one my trades and for simple home reno stuff is simple (kitchen/laundry splash backs). Setup/layout is key, a good spirit level, a decent cutter & patience makes the difference. Quality tiles is key, simple test is to put 2 tiles face to face and check for bowing/curvature.

I looked at the gen2 2860 before going 2867 and thought it may run out of puff over 230ish kw? 

@robbo_rb180 thanks man, I would give the whole tiling thing a go at our future house (probably in the next year or two), currently in a townhouse and space is an issue so less tools the better.

Turbo wise, we'll find out soon enough, I have the dyno booked Friday after hours (if all goes to plan).

The stock T28BB on that same car/motor made 223kW on E85 at 1.2bar (bleeds down big time from 1.4bar) - so I can only assume with bigger cams, a new improved compressor that flows "475hp" on paper doing a bit more than 230kW. If we hit 240kW happy days, but I want to see if 250kW is possible!

I did advise him to go a GTX2867R Gen 2, but he said the other car I tuned/setup with the GTX2867R Gen 1 was a bit too laggy for his taste - at the end of the day, customer is always right.

Be interesting to see the graph. I have found the gen2 2867 to be great on track but I can see what he means by "laggy" on street but his now done cams which again shifts the power band....
 

I've personally driven 2x GTX2867R Gen 1 S15s on the track and they are perfectly capable cars.

1x running the 6 speed S15 box (no idea how it is still even together) and the other is the Intima S15 which has a 5 speed Z32. The 5 speed S15 would get the turbo all in by 3900rpm in 3rd where as the 6 speed in would come in about 4200rpm in 3rd. Both had Tomei v1.0 Poncams both on E85, both tuned by me. 6 Speed S15 made 270kW (stock head with ARP studs), 5 Speed S15 made 282kW (has 6Boost manifold & freshened head).

I can dig up the graphs tonight if you're interested. 

I did setup and road tune a S15 with Procams, GTX2867R Gen 2 but the owner blew his gearbox and decided to buy a 2017 Civic Type-R so the S15 is in the garage offline.

Update, now with E72 (close enough, flex sensor life). Added in a bit of timing and boost and arse dyno tells me it's moving. With 12 degrees of timing midrange at 1.2bar, there's heaps of room to push the setup!

Hopefully the dyno is free for me this weekend to tune on, should pump out some solid numbers and be pretty fun on the track.

Why would you choose anything that isnt a G series Garrett in 2019?

That said the GTX2860 realistically is a pretty good unit. MX5 down here in Vic uses them to great effect at Winton doing 1:28's which is fast as fk. If anything it's refreshing that someone in 2019 is not going "Yeh bruh insta story needs 600+kw to even trend"

In NZ at least it's under $2200 for a T25 IWG GTX2860R Gen2 and over $3k for the equivalent G2560 which is a good start haha.  That combined with the G25s being a bit laggier means that if I had a setup which would need a bunch more work to support much more than 250kw and I wanted it to be responsive I suspect the extra $800 would be a pretty hard pill to want to swallow.

Insta is life, every car now is 1000hp w/ a Samsonas or PPG or Albins, etc.

Does about 5 Roll Racing stints and it's out for surgery lol

Customer (my mate's friend's brother) wanted a GTX2863 in the Gen 2 (which doesn't exist), given that the GTX2860R Gen 2's compressor flows "475hp" unicorn numbers he was more than happy to give it go. Dare say with 2nd gear pulls on a soft as shit timing map, it's showing good signs.

And we are done!

Good start, shower screen guy came with the wrong door lol. Anyhow, it's done now :)

Also removed that block mirror brace lol.

add in a manifold and external gate adds more $$$$. Been in the wrx from the g series thread and it is great but the cost to do it I think out weighs what the average person needs. For myself it was an extra $1600-1800 to go G series (vband housing, manifold & gate) over the gen2 gtx and I am happy with what I have done. If/when they do a T3 housing for G30 that will be when I jump on that band wagon.

Back on topic, so when you appearing on The Block?

Don't want a divorce, only just got married early last year LOL

However, the idea of flipping a few houses did enter my mind - but living in constant dust, shit & constantly moving is a bit of a turn off. Living in your PPoR then selling, you can avoid CGT, however you're constantly unhappy living with an unfinished house.. kind of like how my R33 is unfinished :( 

Owner forgot to tell me there's a stock BOV in the car lol.. boost bled down a bit up top, also some misfire issue with plugs.

Will pop in new plugs, gapped down to 0.6mm and replaced the stock BOV. I see a 270kW quite possible in this setup, impressed!

253kW from only 1.3bar boost, baby numbers and early days!

For new readers, GTX2860R Gen 2, Tomei 258 (Not 256) Poncams, usual bolt ons, and Dose Renovation Special tuning.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
