when driving hard and about to go for it, your always going to be right at the start of boost so why not benefit from which give you more power all the way through the high revs, the -7's will run out up high wher the -5's will keep going consistently.

Bakes... you wont regret.. trust me! i was in the same boat and was glad i didnt go for the -7's. Its also an investment for future plans.... perhaps! :P

im running GTSS turbo's - making 325awkw @ 21psi (apparently -7 equivalent)

previously i had a GTRS setup & made 362awkw @ 21psi (apparently -5 equivalent)

both were done by the same tuner - & yes the GTRS came on boost later than the GTSS which was a difference of approx. 2000rpm (& if felt like a lifetime for full boost on the GTRS) BUT the top end rush of the GTRS is awesome, so both turbo's have their pro's & con's!

IMO - if u wanted a circuit or street car i'd go with the GTSS equivalent, if u wanted 1/4 mile or top end rush u'd go with the GTRS!

either way, -5 or -7 u will be wrapped :P as anything over 300awkw is SHWEET!

Poor bloke just wanted the supporting mods..

As others have contributed. 700cc injectors , 044 fuel pump or drop in jap, ecu upgrade , clutch , requisite exhaust from turbo back (dumps / front pipe), 1 bar adjustable actuators. Some adjustable cam gears at the very least , my prefference is for cams but, being able to tune them well costs and not alot of tuners seem to know their way around with them.

On the turbo side here is some GTR data taking from the forum GTR owners, of which there are now a number running different turbos.

the GT-SS (-9's) are unbeatable under 350rwkw & 2530's / -5's over.

The data taken from the RB26 dyno results sticky for various turbos.

Peak power:

The average for the 2530's is; 388rwkw

The average for the GT-SS is; 335.4 rwkw

The average power made by the -5's is; 313rwkw

Of the same data the best power of the -5's was 388rwkw

Best of the 2530's was ; 451rwkw.

Best of the GT-SS was 364rwkw

Now if we are going purely of budget un-opened/ non-built motors maybe with just some drop in cams it looks like this;

-5's average ; 298rwkw

2530's average ; 358rwkw

GT-SS average ; 332rwkw

Taking cars that make more than 400rwhp, std stroke, bp98.

average power over;

110kmh

130kmh

150kmh

180kmh

GT-SS = 265rwkw

2530s = 284rwkw

-5's = 242rwkw

taking just 110kmh & 130kmh to indicate the 'reponse' and mid range

GT-SS = 218rwkw

2530s = 196rwkw

-5's = 174rwkw

Great Thread!.....ive been down this path, so here's what ive done to get similar power (im running 317awkw)..

r33rb26dett (unopened bottom end)

R34 N1's (-7's equilavent?)...no choice here as it came with my 2nd motor)

bosch 044 fuel pump (internal mount)

nismo 555cc injectors (running at 90% duty)

arc intake and cold air box

3" exhaust with aftermarket dump pipes

power fc Tune + boost tap

This is an extremely nice car to drive daily, and the response is awesome for the street!....im really happy with the tune..i need an EBC as boost dips off with my tap...

If i had a choice now though, i think i would go for -5's, as id like the bigger hit when it comes on boost as right now its extremely progressive...i dont mind the lag, and generally lag is 1st gear....

Your choice...either way 300+ is going to be fun to drive for you

good luck

great post!

Huge lol at how this thread became a turbo war.

People are happy with their -7s, people are happy with their -5s, people who have gone from having -7 to -5 are also more than happy.

Thanks to the people who have actually helped me out with answers related to the actual reason why the thread was started.

:P

yeah confirmed that, -5's are not the GTRS's..... The equiv is between -10's and GTRS's which is a much larger turbo and should only be used on a built rb26 + !!

i stand corrected - yes it was the -10's that were the badest!

The data rev210 has put in is good but there is not enough, especially if the average for the -5 is only 313rwkw, misleading and conflicting to others opiniions, I thought they were only good for 380-400Kw, lol.

Averages are only as good as the data input into them.

My rb26 has -5 turbos but I choose to run it a 430rwhp. They are by no means maxed out.

Best thing to do is look at the turbo compressor maps & info available on the Garrett website.

It will make more sense thatn endless opinions about who likes which turbo best.

You may find the 707160-9 is very nicely matched to your application.......

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
