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

for perspective, at 4500rpm my gt-ss is at 235rwkw and 285rwkw at 6000rpm at 17psi

bahaha

knew it wouldnt take long for someone to have a chop

A chop? What are you - 15?

Just look @ the results mate. They speak for themselves.

Took me only a couple pages to find some -5s results with RPM (to make it easy)

230rwkw @ 4700rpm

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=303940

~280-300 @ hubs, 4700rpm.

So take 30kw off if you want, and that’s around 250rwkw (admittadly its got a bit more work the result #1)

518s = 140rwkw @ 4500rpm as you said.

-5s = 230rwkw @ 4700rpm (easiest to work off the graphs once you look at them you'll see why)

For an extra $1000 you get almost 100rwkw extra @ virtually the same RPM.

Speaks for itself really. The lemans turbos are every bit as bad as people say they are.

Na sorry mate, bit older then 15

Need to be at least 20 these days to drive a performance car :thumbsup:

you'll actually notice in my first post that i admitted they are a bit laggy, and never tried to say they were better then -5s

Pretty much just posted up some of my own figures with some comparisons

Point is the original thread starter now has a better idea of what turbos he/she wants and why instead of just buying turbos because some bloke behind a keybourd told them to

:cheers:

Post your dyno sheet in the dyno thread :thumbsup:

Anyways, Thanks, I will go with -5 then.

Pretty sure he had a good idea then.

Although, he actually ended up with Garrett -9s I believe, same as BWRGTR :D

So smaller/more responsive again than the -5s!

i will post back to backs.... the lemans feel terrible on the street and the comparo on the same dyno with the same ramp rate also shows how average they really are. (will post tonight)

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
