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

~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)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • 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.
