OK Some of you know me from the Wheels show or some Friday evenings. I would also say Paintball, but we know that one never go off the ground, but at least everyone got their money back! I'm probably asking in the wind here but if you don't ask you never get.

I'm having a bugger of a time deciding between these two turbo upgrades and I'm getting to the crunch point of needing to make a decision. Does anyone have one of these turbo packages and is willing to show me how your car responds (nothing illegal), I'm after low to mid range response. Fairs fair when I get the upgrade done I'll take you out. I've also got a 6 pack of VB I'm very willing to give away.

I know there's several GTR's in Canberra, but few with upgraded turbo's and probably fewer on this forum with a working car :P

Thanks

Jon

Thanks Race snooze, I have read that thead to bits and it gives seriously conflicting reports. There is a seperate thread on these two turbo choices which I have also read many times.

I'm after the feel and local experiance.

Yep a couple of us over here in the west!!!

I have not been in a R with the GT-SS but I have the 2860-5 and they are all good!

I do have head work and cams, but they power on from 3400 rpm sweet!!

You mean west Canberra?

I'd be keen to see how these turbos perform, might get me especially motivated to get my car up and running quicker.

I just fitted the Garrett 2860-7s (note 7, not 5), which after much research I came to the conclusion were the equivalent of GT-SS. I would have gone the GT-SS if it wern't for the garretts being much better value. Now these 2860-7s are confusing because acording to Garrett's website they are "OEM on Nissan RB26DETT used in Skyline R34 GT RN-1" - so I assume they are what's commonly refered to as N1 turbos. And the 2860-5s are roughly equvalent of HKS 2530s, which are another level up from GT-SS, and not great for mid range... as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong.

So anyway, my hoopty (R32 GTR) is much nicer with the new turbos - thrust arrives a tiny bit later than stock, but still a fat mid range. But is crying out for the appropriate supporting mods such as a computer of some description. Anyway, I'd take you up on that six pack, except I'm taking off overseas in a matter of days. Good luck.

Well I went the 2860-5's with a Power FC +BC from Croyden.

Get the car back next week and hope I don't lose all that bottom/midrange.

Strange that CRD won't do a dyno run showing RPM's only km/h.

Hi Jon

Let me know how you go. I reckon you'll be good with mid range, people seems to say so anyway.

If you could PM me details of costs and associated parts etc that would be awesome too mate, I'm gonna do mine at some point...

Cheers

Matt

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
