did u keep your -10's on your sperm whale paul or did u switch to -5's?

The sperm whale is still powered by RS's :spank: BUT I have bought a set of 5's to go on. Who can say no to 1000 RPM less to get to fullboost?

will you get full boost at the same revs as my rb30? should be similar right?

-5's on rb28

-10's on rb30

...will be interesting!

It shall be. With nice and small cams (maybe the mines 252's @ 10.05mm) and 'tickled' -5's. Should be alot better than the choo choo choO chOO cH00 CH00 CHOOF CHOOF CHOOF I have now!

did you ever try running that baffled twin turbo pipe i bought off you? im sure u said no at the time due to the hard pipe kit, you're more than welcome to try it though if u like :)

Your setup should come on boost sooner than mine paul as I had 280 degree cams with 10.8mm lift. My -5s I had on my rb26 was quite responsive, not like my -10s on rb30, but really not far off at all.

You will be happy if that is what you're chasing

It was an improvement yes. Either way the debate of 5's and RS's/10's has been had many times. Gav's result sums it up perfectly.

Anyway, back on topic.... SS's and -9's wasn't it :D

why are there so many dyno sheets on here with -5 setups and under 350kw? actually most are around 315kw. from my understanding 350 can be reached with -9's and quicker then the other. Unless there is some sort of other advantage im overlooking?

Would be interesting to see whats supporting mods people have used for a responsive -5 set up. I'm talking 3.5k and on song with 20psi. Even things like short gts4 gear ratios and lightend fly wheel matched with cam timing.

Sorry to be bumping this back up but it has been a very good read. I'm still confused.. Is there a GT2860-9? Or are they listed as a GT2859R-9?? I have been in contact with GCG and they were telling me that the -7 turbos are bigger and have a bigger inlet and will make me more power then the -9.. But this thread has told me other wise.. Please help lol

    • You could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.
    • Ha ha, sorry dose, I wasn't meaning to argue the point on "it'll do f**k all". I was only shining a bit of a light in the flawed logic you used with it mate.   I 100% agree that there is zero point changing stock manifold with a stock turbo, unless the manifold is f**ked. And only reason I'd ponder aftermarket manifold on a stock turbo would be that I'm too scared too look at the potential ludicrous prices people are asking for a stock manifold! Ha ha ha
    • Shhh... Muricans don't understand the idea of metric so can't find half the stuff we have for modifying JDM cars 😛
    • That may or may not be me that replied 😅
    • Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
