Hey guys

still deciding between -5s or -9s

There arent many results for -9s in the dyno thread so if you have them could you provide details on what kind of power you are making with them as well as any key modifications (besides all the standard crap) that you think helped you to get to your power figure.

Thanks!

I remember disco saying that out of all the turbos garrett make for hks the -9 has no modification by hks so therefore the -9 is exactly the same as the gtss minus the actuators.

Hks however use their actuators on it, so the higher tension on the spring will cause boost to come on a little earlier and might not settle at the same level as the garrett actuators.

U can also use your stock actuators on the -9 but again i haven't seen anyone who has tried it to see when and how boost comes in.....something i myself would love to see results for,with this being the determining factor of "which turbo is better" with the choice of actuator used.....something i think can be tweaked non the less using a good ebc

+1 for Don Data and NIGTR.

Also remember the -9s don't come with actuators, and you really don't want to be using 20yo actuators on your new turbos. So, you could put HKS actuators on the then you're 100% equivalent to GT-SS. IMO You should decide between -9s or -5s based on your power goal, and go for the smallest turbo that meets that goal.

Does anyone know the price of new HKS actuators to suit?

It's crap that the -9s are the most expensive compared to the -7,-5,etc...

I have heard that -1s are the same as -9s but they include actuators. Is this true and anyone know about pricing?

Really? I'm pretty sure I read that the compressor wheel or something on the HKS GTSS is slightly different to the Garrett, but otherwise they are identical.

From reading the power graphs I've noticed the HKS GTSS is usually slightly close to the 330rwkw :happy:

Oh, please post up in the RB26 sticky so the info doesn't get lost.

I'm looking into the Hypergear highflow with 2860RS cores, it looks interesting but not sure if anyone besides the 300ZX guys have tried it...

my goal is 320awkw... from reading the dyno thread it seems as though the GT-SS are def capable however not everyone is reaching that number...

A profec B should solve all the actuator problems right...

anyone know when the SS hit full boost (with cam gears)... 3.5k?

lol ok... where did you pick yours up from Sean?

Boostin imports, but I'm sure you can get a good deal at CGC too. Basically any Garrett dealer, but shop around! :happy:

I might be using stock actuators, but may go the reinforced HKS style one's.

My R32 had R33N1's, then HKS2530's, so now I chose the -9's for the 34 to have the feeling of the N1's with almost the oomph of the 2530's for the street.

Disco would have been talking about the -7s with that comment. The wheels on the -9 are the same as GT-SS.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
