Guys all i have to say is wats the point in flaming someone over a turbo???

I have a set of 2860R -5's on my 34 GTR and believe me they are far from "big" or laggy. They will make 320awkw with ease all u need is the right fuel setup. Mine made 310awkw with stock injectors and stock fuel pump all i added was a FPR.

Bakes, as iv told you in PM's these turbos are very responsive, you basically cant tell the difference between these and the stockies, and they pull all the way to redline. Ideally you'd like to have injectors and a fuel setup to allow you to push past the 320 mark, so thats wat stopped me at this stage but with your setup u shud see a figure between 320-350awkw...

As for the -7's being a better option im pretty sure they are much laggier and a bigger turbo which punch out more power, so no not a better option. i had the same prob wen i went through this decision making few months back, i do not regret the choice i made, but again i wanted good power without sacrificing response.

Martin Donnon has stated in Issue 93 of High Performance Imports that the turbos Im getting are the pick of the bunch even for 300rwkw so I dont need luck. Ill take his advice over some of the internet experts here.

This thread has turned into a joke, delete it. Still no help in support mods I may need, keep flaming my turbo selection by all means!

Bakes: Check the thread I posted a link to mate, it has answers to your support mods questions in there which is why I posted it in the first place :banana:

Massive: "As for the -7's being a better option im pretty sure they are much laggier and a bigger turbo" - Nah mate, the -5's are bigger which is why they will flow over 400rwkw's if required. -7's are the smaller GT-SS/N1 equivalent.

My "Good luck" is a genuine one, no sarcasm, have fun with the build process and let us know how you go.

Cheers

No worries, so besides the turbos I really only need some injectors and a Power FC.

Definitely going to need a computer to have it tuned, don't think you had one on your currently equipped items list. .

Injectors, I thought, were a must but Massive is saying he made a similar figure without them, I'd not heard of that before and I think I'd rather shell out the extra bucks then lean too hard on the stockers and risk leaning out.

What duty cycle are you injectors on at that power Massive?

At this power you're starting to push the bottom end so reducing the risk that anything else can go wrong, like running lean on maxed injectors, is a good idea.

Ben at RacePace is widely regarded as a GT-R modification and tuning expert so he will have his own opinions on this too and has proven his expertise time and time again. A quick call to him might be a good idea too.

Brand will come down to your personal choice and budget, anything 550cc up should be sufficient for 320kw's from what I understand but if you intend to pop this motor and go for 400rwkw's later you might want to just get a suitable injector now. Results shown on this board indicate that 550's will be close to 90% duty at this power. Which makes me wonder how you can get to 310 like Massive did on stockers, must be some crazy pressure...

I am running -7s. I have 320AWKW. I have 20PSI by about 3,500-4,000RPM. What's the point of having 320AWKW but waiting until 4,500+ for full boost?

They are similar to stock turbo's for response, but handle a lot higher levels of boost. Don't bother with the -5's unless you want lag :banana:. Internet experts? How is that guy more qualified than any of us? Because he writes in a magazine? Think, SAU is full of real world people with these cars and these turbo set ups. People actually using them.

If you got -5's you'll regret it.

700's should be fine and give you some head room though I'm not sure if they'll keep up with what the turbo can do later down the track if you do rebuild. Can always sell'em off.

OMG here we go again. lol at lag, 500rpm difference or less if tuned correctly. Mass and others have said that the -5 have similar to stock turbo response, -5 will do the -7 job at lower boost and I can make more power on them later if i want to.

Im over it, I have the info I need, some injectors and a Power FC is all I need. Lock the thread up!

Cams/Gears will get him pretty close, it might not be as responsive as the -7's but the -7's will NOT be suitable for his intentions down the track. No point buying two sets of turbos if you don't have to. Also, less boost means less chance of busting the RB's bottom end sooner than one might like...

Exactly!

Plenty of people have upgraded from -7 to -5 and never looked back if you go through the various threads on GTR UK forum, Im just skipping the -7 step :banana:

When I was deciding between the two I went for a spin in a GTR with -5's and one with -7's, the -7's were an entirely different driving experience. But each to their own.

Also - as for the injectors, I am running 700cc injectors which get to about 75% duty cycle full throttle.

Yes -7's will be more responsive but they also require more boost and will NOT be suitable for later goals, which is an important distinction here. So for Bakes they're not the best choice.

Cheers on the injector info, that should Help Bakes make a decision about how big to go on those.

Like I said mate, there are others that say the opposite to what you are saying also so each to their own as you say

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
