Hey guys,

I've searched a lot but couldn't find the answer to my question.. I can get the RR581 for cheaper than a set of garrett -7. So I was wondering if those Lemans turbo are responsive like the -7 or more laggy like the -5.

So, when does the boost come on on the RR581 ? I have a stock internal R32 with R34 dump pipe and divided twin turbo charge pipe (help spool a tad quicker..).

Thanks!!

I can't comment on the r581 turbs....but the 32 n1 turbos which I understand are essentially the same spec, come on about 4,500 and make power to about 20psi. ie they are utter rubbish compared to any modern ball bearing turbo. Literally 50+kw less at 1000rpm higher.

ball bearing is better and easier to rebuilt than journal 360 bearing right?

don't know about easier. bush bearings are cheaper for sure. but 32 n1 runs 270o bush bearing not 360o, not exactly ideal.

ball bearing should cause less drag, faster spool and more power for the same size wheels...

yer ive got 32 N1 on my car, make power too 20psi as duncan said, but dont see full boost to 4.5-4.8k, they are majorly out dated so many better turbos out there these days, If you goin from 32 N1's to -5's you prob wont even notice the lag diffrence, but u deff will be able to make a heap more power. My car will be getting -5's when the engine comes out....

few Specs there obviously real world results are different

just need someome to tell me wether i should get the Nismo Le Mans or Not, Have all thw supporting Mods bar Forged Motor...

-5 all the way.

380-400 on a good motor. newer design than the old le mans stuff and more responsive for the power as a result.

but as you don't have a built motor, they are not the best choice.

the -9 would be and are not going past the limits of a stock motor.

to make the most of -5's you really do need a built motor, bit of a head tidy up and so on.

Thanks for replies...

Well looking at above because

purchase price includes turbos, new gasket set, bigger dumps & front, also standard manifolds cleaned up with braided oil & water lines

and as building the motor is eventual goal, i will be looking at utilising the standard motor for putting around duties while looking into rips 30 motor...

Also will be doing turbo replacement myself

so all in all will save quite abit of money, rather than pytting out $2300 for -7s pls extra for lines & gasket kit & bigger dumps front

so to put all that into perspective

How should i approach this...

What would the response be like and how noticeable compared to stock 32gtr turbos

which atm is blown...

-9 are as close to stock as you can get

with -5 there is certainly a noticeable

the le mans would be laggier again realistically as they are old hat now.

so it comes down to how much you wanna spend vs what you are willing to live with if you wanna save 'x' amount.

the garrett value for money is hard to argue for either turbo choice given the results people get.

If ur stock turbo's are blown, didte exhaust wheel shatter?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but its possible that ur motor has shrapnel in it now and will be next to die soon after.

Alright, ive got a set of Nismo Lemans running on my 32, on my last tune the Lemans turbos made 130rwkw at 4500 rpm (this is when the power starts to come on hard, 130rwkw doesnt sound like much i know but by 6000rpm it makes 280rwkw), But for turbo Lag argument sake we'll start at 4500rpm.

compare that with the GT2530 which correct me if im wrong are just the HKS version of garret -5 and are still a resonably decent turbo. According to this graph i found which is based on engine KW's, the 2530s (-5s) make 200 engine kw, which would be what 150rwkw at most?

Now everyones goin to ask what mods i have and what mods the turbos on the graph have . I would assume that as the 2530s (or -5s) are making 601hp and their max combined output is 640ps, they're pretty much at the limit of what they can do and have the correct supporting mods. (dont forget the lemans are rated to 640ps as well so theres not goin to be any top end lost over the 2530's)

Meanwhile on my Lemans turbo set up, i made that power and ive got only a 3 1/2 exhaust with 3 inch dumps with a rubbish set off front pipes, while still running standard cam gears and cams.

I really dont think the lemans are as rubbish as everyone makes them out to be, a bit laggy yes but still a heap of fun. Im sure someone is goin to try shoot me down but meh

will try and get a before and after graph of when i do have front pipes and cam/cam gears instaled... will be soon :rolleyes:

BTW if u want -5s GCG do them for about 2 grand if i remember correctly.. dunno if they come with actuators though

cheers

why don't youjust look at the dyno results thread?

it will soon show you that -5s are more responsive than 581/lemans, and make more power.

The real crux of the issue is not what happens on a dyno either. It's when you are on the street.

in-between gear changes and so on. newer turbos with ball bearing centers, newer/lighter wheels will flick back up on boost faster.

Something you'll never really be able to tell from a dyno sheet.

People only think 1980s designed turbos are good because they've never had newer tech ones and simply have not seen it for themselves.

Justify it however you want, fact is the lemans turbos in this day and age, are rubbish

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
