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 ;)

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

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
