not a very original sign in... :P ^^^

you know the real DRDRIFT is on here regulary?

Lol, I thought that too!

I'm going for the -9's on my R34 after a lot of reading, previously had 2530's on the R32, but wanted more spread so to speak, and not aiming for 350+kw.

well ive had my number plates DRDRFT for over 10years. plus look at the date i signed up to sau....i aint gonna change it because sam is also known as dr drift....

Seriously though, no beef from me. Was just a thing that stood out, lots or similar user names on here anyways :P

What do we think the -9 is capable of? My GTR is only a daily driven thing so I don't want it running 22psi with 400kw. I was thinking when I get them all installed with injectors etc to suit, to be running a high boost of about 18psi (seems to be a good figure to keep the standard 26 alive) and a low boost setting of 14psi.

14psi= 250rwkw

18psi=280-300rwkw?

If doing mods later and you want more top end, as I plan to, I reckon they really aren't laggy. Then again I had HKS 2530s before so maybe I'm just used to it? I much prefer this kind of delivery to the stockers anyway.

My old GTR which I built 5 years ago had all the normal (saftey not power goodies, forgies etc... and had a set of HKS GTRS, on its maiden tune it made 366.9Awkw @22psi, not laggy.

Lost my licence so sold it but could off got alot more out of it with more tuning.

Now I just got the bug and have just started a new build on another GTR. this time with money being hard, i have opted for -10s, motor has internal saftey work but still running standard fuel system! til i get more money. @10psi i am 300Awkw...this is only stage one and when funds allow will be upgrading fuel system and than start to play again. Not as responsive as previous setup at the moment but not a lag bomb. Anything over 3800rpm and she will start to boogie...I cant make a definitive answer yet til I turn up the boost but so far it feels like even though the -10 is rated the same as the HKS GTRS, I dont think on the street it will preform on par with HKS? But only time will tell....

I think people are too fused about how much boost is safe on the street, It is all to do with tuning, Big turbos doesnt mean lag if setup and tuned right!

My old supra ran 577Rwkw@over 2bar boost, as a daily drive, turbo was bigger than my head and everybody said it will be laggy as hell, but I am also a lazy driver and I can tell you that it was not laggy, no need to drop gears, just excelerate and spin to my hearts content... IMO its all in the tune. Did go to calder just for fun and she pulled [email protected] spin 3/4 track...But that was with full tien drift setup....was not setup for quater...

Dr Drft...

My -10s out performed my previous hks gtrs setup :P

When I built my engine, I was tossing up between the -10s and a t04z and I stuck with -10s for a number of reasons...my tuner told me at the time its either u go -10s or a t51r as he can tune a t51r to come in about 1000rpm later than the -10s so yes I agree with u, tuning plays a huge part in response. Also noted if its tuned for response u sacrifice top end and vice versa.

Although Im running a rwd rb26, Im very happy I decided to go with the -5's rather than the 7's. I have been in a couple of gtr's that are running built motors with the 7's and in my opinion although they are super responsive they seem to run out of steam in the upper rev range.

Using the -5's with poncams and vi-pec on only 14psi my car made 325rwkw easily and pulls as hard at 8 grand as it does at 4 grand with massive amounts of mid-range.

Positive boost is cranking by 2 grand and by 3000rpm its fully into it. After having a RB20 in the car previously this feels like no lag at all.

I realise that once i wind the boost up it will have slightly more lag, but I can deal with that if I can reach the magical 400rwkw whilst still on 98RON.

My 2 cents.

These are the prices I've been quoted for the 2860s. Probably going to go with the -9 for the great medium between the -5 and -7. Also I have no idea why Garrett don't make the -9 and -10 with actuators not included in the bundle.

They did make the "-9" included with actuators.....it is known as the 780371 -1 .... notice the same chra number.

I believe your stock act will work as well but i have no idea how they will respond compared to the garretts that come with the new turbo

i guess the clear distinct advantage here is you can keep your working stockers or sell them when you buy a pair of new turbos

whereas if you highflow your old ones, you take them off, send them and get them back later

if price was the same

i would go a new pair %100

instead of highflowing originals

I'm aware that high-flowing something is a little annoying for the mechanic involved, however my point was, as per hypergear's post:

RS has different turbine wheel. Probably not much more in HP, but lot more torque. We've been using those 2x types of CHRAs in our 300zx turbo developments. Very noticeable amount of difference on road, The RS gives stronger pulling sensation while both turbos made within 2KWs difference.

In reference to using a 2860RS core on GTR turbo's. So the extra torque / approx power level is what I'm referring to.

I found a little info on the 300ZX forums but I'm not a member there and they do have 3litre engines.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
