Yes I have been searching the forums but still after more opinions etc. My supporting mods will be powerfc, 700cc injectors, exhaust, pods,cam gears, walbro fuel pump.

Iam after about 290+ rwkw but the main thing is I want response NO LAG!!! ....The main question is how much more lag will I get with the -5 over the -7 , if its stuff all obviously its in my best interests to go the bigger turbo and add another 30-40rwkw.

2860r-7 = "N1" rated at 320hp

2860r-5 = "very close to 2530" rated at 360hp

Please list your opinions and if you are running these turbs your mods and when they come on boost etc.

Thanks,Ryan

To get the best out of the -5's you need Poncams...

This with comp. and tune for street will give you great responce.

You have not done a search....this topic has been discussed 1 billion times..LOL

Don't know what state you are in but if your in Melbourne..I could show you what the package can do...

You dont "need" poncams for the -5's at all. The top 5 Circuit cars here in Vic (that use -5) dont have poncams, and are leagues ahead of everyone else.

For 290-320rwkw, the -7 is what you want. The -5 (2530 style) are too big for that goal.

Simple as that really.

I don't see even why you posted this question?

It isn't complicated at all. -7's for mor response (less lag) and -5's for more power (but more lag).

But you seem to already know this.....

Either way your 290rwkw's will be achieved no problems. But you will feel the difference in lag between the 2 set-ups. But you will also feel the difference in power.

I think it was WilliamsF1 here that turned his RB26 road engine into a torque mountain with the -7 type turbos which from memory are similar/same as RB26 specific GT-SS turbos . He did a lot of other things as well and I think the result made his RB26 feel more like people today expect a production engine to feel - sort of 2500-3000 and hang on .

I've never driven or even been in a GTR but everyone says that they're just a car until 4000 odd and then things really happen .

If I ever inherited a GTR its what I reckon I'd use . Makes the V8's look even sicker I suppose when the legend starts to haul nearly 1000 revs sooner than they usually do .

Cheers .

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
