-10s are cheap and for the 3ltr the ultimate low combination for the street. Ppl that have built rb26/30s know this :)

I disagree man. -5's are cheaper, come on SO MUCH EARLIER and still make well over 400. Peaky, laggy (not saying your's was laggy) but imagine coming on ATLEAST 1000 RPM earlier and making 430+. Average power > peaky power.

I'm not posting my last graphs as they're not finished tunes, but I will say this; they come on earlier than Paul's do and don't drop off in the top end with my cams. I'll never own a set of GTRS's again or the garrett version either.

I don't understand why this stupid argument keeps coming up? Surely we put it to bed already?

a guy who got his ar buit at same place as mine has rb26/30 with twin hks 2530's (pretty much -5's) on pump 98 making 450kw (shafts pulled so rear wheel )on mainline dyno on 25psi and over 1000nm , would be pretty damn responsive too!! but big money invested ,, pretty sure hes running a dog box and all the goodies

what RPM is he making 25psi at?

450 is a big figure on 98!!!!

Paul, what do you think you would have made peak power with e85 and gtrs's?

-5s on my rb26 came on nice with mid range, on a 3ltr it would have been like a big block!

Marko, I have no idea. -5's on a 2.6 are still a bit 'meh' for my liking. Much better off with -9's/SS's. Having gone from RS's to -'s on a 2.8 it's the best thing I HAVE EVER DONE. I still feel like it lacks a tad low down grunt but the silly cams don't help. Put them on a 3.0 and OMFG. I have seen the graph (although not at full noise) and there is no comparison. NONE! If i build a 3.0 (and I may very soon) I can assure you I wouldn't put those things on the passenger side of the engine.

A perfect example is this. Last week out of UE there was a supra with a T04Z. Made something like 315 RWKW. Poor result yeah? Pitty he still had a standard cat and some crappy cat back. Any turbo setup needs the supporting mods to work. How many crap results do you see from -5's/2530's? HEAPS! Sort the setup out and I can Assure you.. i'll bet my car on it, that the setup on the street would be ruthless. 3.0, 2.9, 2.8.

Sorry MarkO I've got that engine, and have had those turbos, and there is no way I'd be calling them "ultimate".

I believe Ian - GTRNUR would agree with you also.

And funnily enough, for his new motor - he is putting on -5s as well.

How about that :merli:

I do agree with u paul :)

It also comes down to personal taste when we talk about 2.6 as I've had gtss's which I found boring...the -5s however were nice.

As u say its about having the right combo. I could pick up my turbo setup with larger cams but I think u can't go wrong with -5s, regardless of capacity.

Haha show me your results when its done and let's compare the 2 on 98.

There is no denying in bottom end from -5s...I'd like to see if there is a difference up top.

I'm certain I will switch mine to -5s on my ADM gtr quite soon, home Reno's are taking up all of my bandwidth + a second child on the way. How priorities change with age.

on a 3ltr it would have been like a big block!

I can't see how that's a bad thing? Twist EVERYWHERE. Who needs to go back a gear, just let the grunt pull you out. It won't 'feel' as fast, but you would be so much further down the road he won't catch you with his extra '20 kw'. My 5's don't feel as as 'fast' as the RS's but its so much easier to drive quickly with this setup. The fact that in places I am making 100 more says enough... and more top end. I can't see a downside?

-10s are cheap and for the 3ltr the ultimate low combination for the street. Ppl that have built rb26/30s know this :)

Although, even better than this would be a t51r if u want to lift the bar.

-5 beats -10 hands down, slightly less up top (marginal) but has massive increases down low.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
