Just devils advocate here JAGR33 :)

Is fairness in comparsion then only acheived by comparing one car with itself, on the same dyno, with the same bolt ons and the same tuner?

That means even BoostR's results aren't meaningful to my car and by the same logic they aren't meaningful to my choice between 2530's and -5's given my car/tuner/dyno/bolt ons are different.

I could follow your opinion expressed as my guide but, I kinda don't know you ( I'm sure your a top bloke tho') and I can't see why you hold an answer on this subject yet. I can't see how the -5's make the 2530's look silly as yet?

I'm certainly not elevating myself to an expert here as all I did was took a little time to see if the only data we have makes a case for the -5's superiority. It doesn't but, that needn't be the end of the examination. There are a few guys like BoostR who are now offering some driving insights. I'd like to consider that worth some weight even though cars/mods/tuner are different to mine. And if we allow that sort of comparison then giving a little weight to the data we have is sensible too.

How many times do people ask questions like; "what sort of power can I expect?" "what sort of power do these turbo's make?"

The boost building thing is interesting. Would people agree that more boost building earlier is only good if it leads to the expected extra power at lower rpms?

Again from the examples we have, I see that in the 'best' examples of the 2530's both on unopened and built motors produce a better bottom end power experience than the best examples we have of the -5's. This could be due to tuning so it would be worth trying to see if it is or not. This perhaps will help guys out with -5's and other turbos if it's something fundamental. My guess is the cam timing and possibly on the built motors compression ratio/setup but, what are the specifics?

Not trying to bash the -5's here either. I'd rather like to become a believer too given they are so cheap.

I'm sure your a nice bloke too... ;)

I'm not implying that 2530's are a crap turbo, I'm saying that from my experiences mainly information that I gather from a workshop here in Melbourne that works mainly on GTR's is that the -5's are superior in how they make the power, they are more responsive than the 2530's but don't make as much top end. This workshop I'm talking about has done a lot of R&D on GTR's and what makes them go fast for mainly street and circuit, so response and low end power is the focus, so why the -5's are used and not the 2530's...

Anyway, I guess people will eventually work out whats the best turbo setup for their car, it sometimes takes 2 or 3 goes.. well it did for me!!!! :)

Ive had -5, hks gtss and hks 2510 hell even 2530's and I can tell you, -5's are the go in all honest if you have a good tuner you can get them to hit full boost as quick as the 2510 or even the ss (maybe a bit later but only marginal) and the power gains are a lot better than the gtss, 2530's are just laggier thats all they will make power but imho dont drive as nice as the -5's . I know 2 renowned tuners that swear by -5's and I think one of them is where you go GTRBOS if im not mistaken.

well i think im gona go for the -5, the workshop i take it to is dominic at protek automotive, im very happy how he tunes my car and he has recommended me to get these turbos on my gtr, obviously he knows what his talking about and i know how he is because ive seen heaps of gtr he has built and i was very impressed but yer i think im going to go for the gt28-60r -5 tubros, that is my last choice, im nor saying 25/30 are shit but in my needs i realy think that th -5 will sit me more and im morw after circuit and 1/4 mile times not top end power or else i will just go a huge single if i want to, guys i really thank you for this, at the end of the day just didnt want no arguements here and it seemed pretty good, it seemed to be a fun thread lol but yer i think i will just go for the -5 and get my cams and injectorsd and my z32 afms installed and i should be making some nice power at all 4s,

thanks again guys,

cheers

Hey yeah Im one of those high powered GT-R's hehe, anyways yeah Dom know what he's talking about, so take his advice you cant go wrong.

Cheers

Ray

omggg i think iseen ur car der last time on da hoist, they were doing something to the exhuast and you got the twin mufflers like the kakimoto twin dual system, im pretty sure that was ur gtr lol but yer dom is mad and im really happy with him, my gtr should be going there in the next week, one of my mates mohammad goes there, really really fast gtr plates are GTR800, im pretty sure u know it and also his brotheren lore goes there GTRB6 his also my mate and they are both like 10sec cars so yer hopefully i will get to that extreme butjust waiting to get full license but yer man ill carch up with ya one day man, get all the gtr's together and go for some kind of cruise lol, anyway have a good one bro

Yeah for sure would be up for a cruise, mine has the twin exhaust like mo's a hks one. The car ran a 10.9 but I have sold it now, looking for an r34 gt-r :yes:

no probz man, good luck looking for a r34 gtr bro, plenty of nice 1s going around, so what you wrecken bro, u think i should just go for the gt28/60r -5 turbos, dom even thinks that the hks 25/60 are pretty good aswell but he said that the -5 are better but whats your opinion man

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
