The Sa Wasteland

[Sinful]

Yeah I hate lag too. 350kw is bloody heaps for what I use the car for (daily) and would def get cam gears and cams.

Just depends on if I can find 34 N1's cheaper than the brand new garretts - and even then it might just be worth paying the difference to have brand new turbos... so I'm guessing -5's are what I should start saving for...

-D

Yeah I run 280kws and thats plenty for me on the road and track If I got the N1's could run more boost and get more of a rush

The 2nd hand R34 N1s do come up on teh forum often for around $2k...Just need someone that knows turbos to go with you to check there condition see if the wheels spin freely and no noise and see if they have shaft play

CRD where selling the 2530's -5 for an awesome price a little while ago...check them out here on SAU. So was another trader that Luke (heslo) was going to buy through, Wonder if he ever got his turbos??

not yet Jess there mostly paid for 2nd hand of another user here, they've done roughly 300kms :P

[rhys5169]

Had a quick look at RB26 results: try this

18psi with high flowed steel wheels = 280 odd kws

18psi with -5s = 316kws .........

Only had a quick look - maybe there are others making more power on high flow steel wheels?? Post em up if you find them.....

hmmm, the reason i ask is the whole "defect" thing, and i could get my car thru regency with steel wheeled/hi flowed and not worry about having to take em off, put stock on, then do it all again once i pass as im under the impression regency only check the numbers on the side of the turbo?

Black one with red tail is called (funny enough) a red tailed black shark (Labeo Bicolor) (and they're bullies in the aquarium too). Theyre not really a shark, as theyre a member of the carp family.

The silver ones are called Emperor ID Sharks in the prelude to the clip, however thats just another name for Shark Catfish (yes, its a catfish). They look rather cool tho.

Hey guys, got a bit of a pickle here as I didn't realize Ryan isn't working on people's cars and I was ment to get mine wired today (sorry to hear you got stuffed around bud, cheers for the help you did provide) so I really need to get my car wired up ASAP (loan car for work is now gone). Anyone got any experience in wiring up a series 1 RB25 to an R32? After help asap and am willing to pay cash and beers. Basically motor is all in ready to wire but I'm at a bit of a loss where to start. Gonna start reading what I can right now.

Give us a hoy if you can help and would like to earn some coin, will forever be in your debt.

250 is good power man, settle for that...it will stay very reliable too.

yeh i have to say 250 is a good power range... stoked as with 250 and responce...

cant find traction thou lol...

Yep they check the housing number on the side of the turbo. I don't know if there's any way for them to check if the turbo has been high-flowed, as there's no exterior differences? It's all internal?

[r33 chris]

yeh its all internal man that why im getting mine hi-flowed atm

[DSTROY]

Would -7's give similar power to stock or closer to the -5 ? -5 = quicker spoolup, is that correct?

Cheers

-D

Im pretty sure the -7 are the smaller ones, then -5 and -10 are even bigger. The numbers do not go in order of size for some strange reason.

My -5's come on full boost at 18psi at about 4500-5000rpm

Check out this thread

GT2860r-7 or -5 Responce

[D_Stirls]

Here they all are; The reason the don't go in order is because the -X comes from the last number in the CHRA code and doesn't mean anything. The thing is with the -10's from the picture on the Garrett website the factory piping won't bolt up to the compressor outlet as they seem to have the S-Series 3 bolt flange not the GTR's 2 bolt flange. unless they have just showed a general picture of the GT2871R and it actually come with the GTR housing.

HP quoted is gross HP @ the flywheel;

GT2860R-7 310hp each

GT2860R-5 360hp each

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_707160_5.htm

GT2871R 52T-10 460hp each

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...R_707160_10.htm

Personally i think there is a better turbo than the -10 in terms of response. I have the same turbo as the -10 on my CA and it is reasonably laggy with full boost (17psi) coming at around 4000rpm, and that's with 1.8 litres "driving" the turbo. with two of these on a RB26 I can only imagine how laggy they would be with 1.3 litres "driving" each turbo.

The better option that I was talking about is the GT2871R 48 trim (the -10 is a 52T). This turbo is rated at 400hp but would be a lot more responsive than the -10, and are still rated at 800 gross FWHP. You will have to get GTR compressor housing fitted to it but it would be worth it.

if i want to extend my ecu wires so i can mount my pfc better in my kick panel will i have to disconnect the battery before i cut the wires to extend them?

[CRoNic...]

I disconnect my battery whenever I work on anything electrical in the car! Especially when cutting wires...

Although, in your case, you disconnect your battery, you'd lose your tune due to having a PowerFC?

[D_Stirls]

no the tunes on P-FC's don't need constant power to remain on the ECU. In fact i don;t know any ECU's that lose tunes when you disconnect the battery.

[rad100]

nah i dont think u do either... otherwise i would need 50 tunes hahaha
