Even better (I didn't realize he had the car on a dyno dynamics with the -7 set up)...

164rwkw @ 4500rpm

205rwkw @ 4500rpm

From other graphs on dyno dynamics his set up does look down by 40odd rwkw at 4500rpm but that still does not cover the 100hp it has improved with the 35R

Here's a decent -7 result, more boost could've been used but stayed conservative (98 BP PULP);

This is a silly comparison anyway, a 35R is designed to make more power than 7's ever will so of course its going to seem lazy and have a bigger top end. Anyone who doesn't understand that should give up modifying cars right now.

But the previous dyno graph shows the 35R has more response and more top end over the -7s??

Do you have the 35R one in RPM vs boost?

i know it may sound like a "how long is a piece of string" question but how much boost would you run on a healthy standard internal rb26 with -7's? im currently at 19psi @ 296rwkw, thought 20ish psi is the safe limit? and you cant run much more then 21-22psi? on pump fuel ofcoarse...

You mean the one where we know the setup wasn't running properly?

Your "decent" -7 set up is making 25rwkw more at 4500rpm that the one that "wasn't running properly". Funnily enough the GT35R makes 74rwkw more at the same rpm...

Yeah great - so that's agreed

Maybe i've missed something here (and it's looking that way), but explain please how you got 74rwkw difference between the two at the same rpm - I simply cant see where the numbers come from for this 35R.

At 4500 the -7's are making around 210hp (157kw) and the GT35R is making around 320hp (239kw), so it's actually more like 82kw.

No idea about boost vs RPM, it's snozzle's graph so maybe ask him :)

Ah ok now I see where.

Lets compare that 35R result vs the one I put up then, the 35R is close enough to 239kw and the 7's are close enough to 230kw.

So for a bolt on set of turbos, vs new oil and/or water lines, dump pipe, exhaust manifold, intake piping, turbo to FMIC piping etc, with a goal of 300 odd rwkw (remembering which thread this is), the 7's win on cost while they come in an ever so slight second place to power in midrange.

A 35R will go so much further power wise than the goal of this thread, so IMO for 300 odd rwkw throw a set of 7's on at 23/24psi and with the other basic supporting mods the owner is there.

EDIT: Checking my last graph, i'm at a touch over 260rwkw at 4500rpm with the EBC turned off. Hooray for low end :)

I would be going a 3076R for 300rwkw and you would only need 19psi :) They are so much better than a GT35R!

Plus I think you will find the cost comparison would be fairly similar, how much do you think it would cost from filter to cat to get the twins going?

Checking my last graph I'm at around 270rwkw at 4500rpm with 500cc less that you :P

are the -9s really that much better then the -7s?

If you only want 300kw, then the extra $400 for the -9s is a waste of money. If you want to go past 320kw, then they're the right choice.

are the -9s really that much better then the -7s?

I've had both, I prefer -9s over -7s. Some say it may make no difference but if I were to buying another turbos I'd go for -9s.

ive checked the specs on -9s and -7s and they're identical apart from the comp wheel & trim.

so for example if at 19psi, the -7s will make 290kw, what will the -9s make on the same boost?

is the -9s the same response as the -7 or slightly laggier?

    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
