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 .

    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
