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.......

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
