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 .

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
