thinking about a pair of these turbos to replace the stock units.... and still be able to use the stock cooler inj fuel pump ect to push it up to around 300kw atrws what to guys think?

and at $2600 is that the hole kit? gaskits ect every thing you need to bolt them on? will my stock dump pipes bolt on?

much between them in lag? i have heard 300rpm?....

Bit more than 300rpm mate, a lot more IMO.

Basically -7's are response like stock, and 300-330rwkw.

With the -5's you'll definately be aware your running aftermarket turbos on a GTR as there wont be any bottom end at all generally...

But will push a lazy 370rwkw upto over 400rwkw as others have done a few times and really come on song around 4000rpm from memory where the -7's just feel like a 4ltr N/A (easiest way to describe mine as they make mumbo so nicely and early)

Everyone i know with -7s/GTSS is as happy as i am :thumbsup:

7s would be what i am after then...do they come in a kit? with all the gaskits ect? or are the gtss the only ones that do?....

If you plan on doing cams at a later date you will be kicking yourself if you don't go -5's.

Response greatly increases with a good set of cams dialed in correctly

As for the gaskets...you only get them with the HKS Kit..but you will be paying a lot more for this.

So buy your -7 or -5 Turbo's and get new gaskets elsewhere.

For piece of mind...get a N1 fuel pump and regulator

As for your 300AWKW's, have a look at others who are making this reliably on the UPGRADE thread.

None of the garretts come in a kit (to my knowledge), unless someone is supplying it as a trader/business

GTSS's come with everything in the box ready to go.

Check the exchange rates, GTSS was cheaper a while ago (over all)

I think now the Garretts workout 300-400 cheaper once you source the gaskets, banjo washers etc over the delivered price of GTSS

Also for what its worth... none of the track GTR's here are running cams with either the -7's or the -5's

Must be something that others dont know? :D

Early stages yet and no dyno sheet to prove it but i have just rebuilt my engine and have some 260 degree cams with the -5's.

Feels like its responding early to pedal input but that could be due to the shortened exhaust or the slightly higher comp, will get a few more kms on it and then its a dyno session so we will compare the old stock cams to the 260's.

See I had 260's with my -5's and they have been taken out and replaced with the stock cams for much better results.

But so much of it has to do with the man twiddling the knobs as I'm yet to see anyone other than Ben get better results with stock cams over 260's for these size turbo's. You look at Mark and Russ who were basically running these size turbo's on their R32 and they went the other way with HUGE cams (272's). So each to their own on this front with what each tuner finds they get their best results with.

Cams dialled in correctly can greatly increase flow of gases through the motor..thus decreasing the spool time of the Turbo's.This in turn gives you +boost quicker and a more responsive motor.

Many who have done the upgrades on a RB26 would swear either by -7's or -5's........

In a stock car....-7's work a treat.

Start to want some serious power and they become too small for the job.

-5's are in a larger housing than the -7's and this causes a little more lag.

Cams overcome this lag slightly...added to -5's...Poncams work a wonder.

If their is anyone who doesn't know about this...they should not be working on cars...fullstop. :)

Good luck with the install of your gtss Turbo's.

lol... so your going to say Racepace using factory cams in -5 and -7 cars... and funnily enough having some of the quickest circuit GTR's in the land...

Shouldn't be working on them?

rriiiiiightyo ;)

Quote of the month i think

I think you may not be comparing apples to apples......street and circuit are two different things.

Also, tuners who are dedicated to racing may have the best and fastest track cars, but they spend

a lot of time and money preparing them.There is no way they are going to make this effort on your car.

Also, gearing can play a big role in speed/spool/boost.

Changing gears can play a big role.

A GTR32/33 have 5 speed manuals...this means less gears..more longer times in these gears..thus more on high boost.

this is good for street cars.

A GTR34 on the other hand has more gears...less time in each gear...thus a leaser time on boost.

What cars do Racepace run..what are there specs...do you think they will tell you?

I wonder if they have not tinkered with gears etc etc.

My answer is an honest answer...if stock cams where the best for GTR's...why would we have so many different after market ones to choose from.All that time and money from HKS, Tomie, etc etc..is it all a waste.????????.lol

I think you can email them now...let them know..Racepace has decided this and thus it it true.

My statement stands....

I'm really keen to see some 'stock cams' graphs with the benifits. It's certainly a different way of looking at the traditional and I'd love to know how it's supposed to work. :rofl:

hey pha71, should be getting my 33 gtr back today with new garrett 2860-5's on it, standard cams (but cam gears fitted), bigger injectors, pump, etc.....the turbos dont come with gasket set, mods need to be done to, oil, and water lines,and mods done to inlet side of it, tomei dumps dont fit to these, will get my mechanic to make up a list of mods needed to fit these up so you can get an idea...ps. not that cheap too do either, robbie

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
