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

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
