Are -10's the Garrett GT2871R Ball Bearing Turbos. You guys hav much info about the -10 in terms of when they come on boost, top end power etc? Do many gtrs hav this setup?

Cheers

Unless its on a 3L + I wouldnt go near them. I have RS's (pretty much -10's) on a 2.8 and they will be replaced with a set of -5's. Stupid choof choof turbo's

whats up with the last RB26 dyno post -5's @ 18psi and only 270rwkw ?? sure its pretty much a standard engine, but I had standard engine & standard turbos high flowed making exactly the same power at the same boost ??

theres quite a few others on there @18-19psi making around the 360rwkw mark ? doesn't look right

yeah stock turbos will make 270kw with some cam gear adjustment, 15psi and a good tune (my old car did and still does). still different cars get different results. no way to know what the tune is like, or the supporting mods etc or even how accurate the dyno is. at say 20psi I've seen -5s make between 300kw and 360kw. the mid point of around 330kw is about what they should make at that boost. anything more is gravy. :)

Wouldn't be surprised if they're -9's with a result like that

im glad i got -7's, they are so dam responsive, perfect for a quick street GTR...

my goal was to run around 280 - 300kw with the stock internals, but with sard fuel pump, nismo 600cc injectors, r34 gtr dumps/stainless front pipe/de-cat/3.5" cat back zorst, nistune, greddy cam gears, greddy profec b spec 2

so far only been road tuned on 18psi without cam gears dialed in, getting dyno tuned on the 12th of this month, hopinh for a solid number and a punchy mid range @ 20psi and gears dialed in

will post results in few weeks time :)

read through this whole thread and -9 > -7 from what i can see, also would a gtx3582r with .82 rear be compairable response to a pair of -5's? obviously be light switch power with the 35 but i was wondering if they would come on in a similar rpm.

I know time and time again people say just to buy garrets, HKS isn't worth the mark up.

BUT

would a GT-SS set up have ANY benefit, no matter how small, over a -9 set up ??

Also from my understanding, HKS kit comes with everything you need to install and the -9s are turbos only, would the cost be more comparable after you buy the rest of the necessary items to fit the -9s ?

thanks for any replies :)

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
