Thanks guys,anyone run 300kw with -5s on a 1/4 mile with a time?

No one would buy -5s and run 300rwkw. Added lag for... What?

They are 360rwkw+ turbo, so you run them at 360rwkw... OR buy -7s if you want 300rwkw, or -9s if you want 330rwkw

Given that is what 7 pages of this thread is about, not to mention the other threads...

I understand the lag on the -5s but i was more wanting to know 1/4 miles times both -5 -9 running at 300kw.

The reason i ask is im running a stock bottem end and slowly building a motor to run 380plus kw and i dont want to buy -9 or -7 for 300kw an selling it of 1 year later for half the price,i do want to swap the -5 on to the new built motor chance its completed,there are numbers of people running 300kw even less on -5s,im on a very strict budget,and dont mine the lagg to save some $$

Not sure, maybe you missed this?

It'll be about the same. 300kw is 300kw.

Torque also plays a factor but for the most part it'll be close enough for the sake of the argument.

Same shit dude. It's not an issue of importance or one you will EVER get an answer to.

Car weight, driver, tyres etc - all far more important variables to worry about anyway.

Oh and if you are on a strict budget, hate to tell you but you'll end up blowing it. No-one meets a tight budget when doing a full build. It's just impossible as there are too many variables that again come into play.

will be going for the -5, pushing 300kw,No one is saying im putting chinese stuff on my other built motor,i was relating to the turbos that is where i can save money on,cos i do want to get 380kw out of the new built motor.

I don't get your point for, sounds like you want -5's just so you can say you have them, if you don't mind the lag why not aim for 400kw? If not go smaller. Your desicion is 300kw lagy or 300kw responsive....simple choice

He is slowly building his motor so running 300kw's with the -5's for now, and then when the motor is finished being built he will go for a higher figure :thumbsup:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
