10 psi!!!! Jesus.

For sure will be looking at new dumps in the future. But I wish to enjoy the new found power. Besides it keeps me interested in the car if there is always something to do. :)

Are you running mafless?

I'm running twin Z32s with stock airbox

Haha don't worry you will find plenty to do to the car if you really look ;)

Just read all 13 pages, not to much mention of the -9's though they seem to have a totally diffrent opinion on -5's.

Main jist here seems to be -7 or -9 with stock motor, -5's for a storked engine.

Yet they are claiming to be making boost by 2000RPM and on song by 4k. Non stroked motors.

a few posts from a couple boys here aswell

Also don't forget that thread is quite old for the most part (2008 etc). There won't be a lot of talk of -9s as they didn't come onto the market until ~2008/2009 IIRC as they were still under the HKS GT-SS banner and expensive, and then Garrett released them etc.

I mean claims in that thread that -5s are "really into it" by 3000rpm are just plain silly. That same user then posted a graph - 4000rpm not even 170rwkw ... lol... really if that's "into it", i'd be worried. :rolleyes:

Yes they might be building boost - but in 4th gear it'll still takes you longer from 3000rpm-4000rpm than it does from 4000rpm-8000rpm on a 2.6ltr, once the turbos are well into their sweet spot and the motor is working.

End of the day it comes down to ones 'definition' of what is/is not laggy. Turbos that come on @ 4000rpm-8000rpm for ~370rwkw or turbos that come on @ 3300rpm-7500rpm for ~330rwkw

Basically the same power band - just totally different delivery & RPM use. Then there is also response onto boost in/out of gears, on/off throttle etc.

End of the day - do what we've told you. Jump in the passenger seat and see for yourself and what you prefer.

Ok, Sifted through the rb26 turbo upgrade thread,

Looked at all -5 and -9 setups with similar mods ect

-9/hks gtss

3k rpm= 130kw

5krmp= 254

100km/ph= 16kw

110km/pk= 130kw

-5/2530

3krpm= 85 kw

3krpm= 100kw

3390rpm=80kw

5400rpm= 200kw

100km/ph=100

100km/ph=110

110km/ph=140

Not many -9/gtss examples, Though

Taken a while to sift through it all, So i thought id post this up for reference to anyone else making the choice, These are all on a std 2.6 capacity

Was actually going to go against everyone's comments and get -5' this week. But this proves the -9s shit all over there bigger brothers, Unless you plan on doing ridicules speeds.

Dude, are you still trying to make up your mind?

man you just need to take the plunge and go and get whatever your goal is.

Is your goal 300-350kw? -9's

is your goal 350 - 400kw? -5's

Done, go spend your money

wish it was that easy....the KW range is not my goal. Although it easier to strive for a particular figure. Now im more looking at the driveablilty.

All fair and well to say you have 400kw....but its not very practical to have that at 150km

Main reason for me doing this is to compare the power at the lower range. And to me it looks like the smaller set up has alot more usable power. ( if ive read then all correctly)

ive taken the time to post my findings for people in the same position in the future...Dont see the big deal?

Nah thats not the problem. What is working on my nerves is, we have said countless times, if you want it power sooner ie boost sooner, then get -7's or -9's and they will yield 300 - 350kw!

If you dont car about lag and your car is not a daily and you want peak power then get -5's and once again, they will yield 400kw's.

I see no fine print in this, it looks very straight forward to me.

Nah thats not the problem. What is working on my nerves is, we have said countless times, if you want it power sooner ie boost sooner, then get -7's or -9's and they will yield 300 - 350kw!.

has anyone actually got 350kw from -7's or

9's

I think someone did 360rwkw, but it's never been repeated (or confirmed).

Common is 320-330rwkw realistically and what people should expect.

+1 to comments thus far. I'm kinda sick of getting PM's about the same topic & questions :unsure:

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
