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

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

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
