Huge cams for that turbo and engine setup!

Cams are working quiet nicely on this set up and sound awesome

330rwkw @ 16psi up top & then drops to 300rwkw @ 20psi up top on the 2nd graph (4psi more, 30rwkw less!) - If nothing else was changed that is very interesting!

Not 100% sure if anything else was changed, i know i dont have to rev past 7 the way it is set up at the moment

Will be going in for more fine tuning before nationals as this was done just before WTAC

all in all very happy with the car

Just read the whole thread, all 14 pages. Good read, it helped me realize that 9's is what I should be running due to using my r33 GTR as a daily and not yet chasing insane power figures.

That said, I think I remember reading g that 9's do not come with actuators? What ones do you guys reccomend and why?

great thread , helped me a lot in choosing turbos

i am about to buy pair of this ones : GT2860R - 739548-9

are these those super responsive 9s you guys are talking here?

it has 64 rear and 60 front and stated that its bolt on for rb26 .

is there any major difference between 739548-9 and 707160-9

turbo part number gurus help would be great

thx

it is bolt on , this is what it says : Turbine wheel is cast from "Inconel" material for extreme applications, Essentially a GT2860RS Disco Potato turbo with a GT2560R compressor housing , Upgrade turbocharger for GT2554R (PN 471171-3) and GT2854R (PN 471171-9)

430609-230 0.64 Wastegated T25 5-Bolt - rear housing

i am just all confused with all this part numbers, just wanna know if these are 9s that this thread is about? or this ones are more like 5s or 7s?

thx

Dato

sorry should have been more specific.

The part number you quoted first is the '2860-9' turbo with the SR20 style flange, BUT this turbo with with the option 430609-230 exhaust housing is what your after (i.e. the -9 of this thread). The correct turbo part numbers for the rb26 are a few posts above.

Ok these are specs after search on garret

739548-9 446179-66 47.20 60.10 62 0.60 53.90 76 0.64

707160-5 446179-51 47.20 60.10 62 0.60 53.90 76 0.64

707160-9 446179-65 44.50 59.40 56 0.42 53.90 62 0.64

So i am looking on more like 5s right? just shra's have different part numbers rest is same . shit already purchased them :) so i got lugy big turbos for my stock engine

when i saw 9 at the end i thought thats the ones i need

wedge_r34gtr

what you are saying is that these are 2860-9s for sr20 but with different exhaust to suit rb26 its still the ones i was looking for?

could you plz take a look numbers above and would you still thing that those are 9s for rb26 ?

sorry for my english as well :)

mmm... my garatt catalogue has the wrong part number for -9's.

The 707160-9 is what you were after. Email the shop and make sure thats what your getting. I don't think these come with actuators either...

This thread should be pinned and name changed to "Garrett turbos for RB26's -5 vs -7 vs -9" or something.

Probably would be really useful to most GTR owners looking for advice and results on which turbos to go for. All of this is great info is in one spot (Aside from the RB26 turbo upgrade results thread).

Heck i'd been trying to decide for a while reading a million different posts and sources on other websites, this thread educated me and made my decision.

Hey guys,

Just went on nengun and it reads that HKS have changed the compressor wheel, compressor housing and turbo housing. Not sure if its fibs or not?! Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers

No reason to think they fibbing, they are aftermarket turbos after all. Wouldn't be too popular if they had the same specs as stockers.

You are not doing english correctly. All that says is this:

Compared to stock turbos, they are larger.

It is NOT SAYING that "GT-SS" are magically bigger than "Garrett -9s", which share the same part number.

Not doing English correctly?! At no point did I mention that they are magically bigger. I am basically only asking whether this sentence:

The clearance and shape of the compressor wheel, compressor housing and turbo housing are redesigned to optimum specs.

Means that HKS have done more then just put their actuators on garrett -9s?

This may not be 100% accurate but it's close enough: HKS used the -7 and redesigned the compressor wheel and tweaked other small things and called them GT-SS. Garrett made these turbos for HKS (with HKS stamped compressor covers) without actuators (because HKS fitted their own adjustable actuators) for 5 years until the deal between them expired which allowed Garrett to sell that turbo to the public which they called the 707160-9 (or -9 for short). For acouple years now, HKS GT-SS kits have been coming with Garrett stamped compressor covers. Difference between the HKS and Garrett stamped cover in the GT-SS kits? Nothing, just the old kits have HKS covers, and new ones have Garrett covers.

And we can clearly see the mark up due to having a big jap name on something.

Mr meanR you however have to cap your anger, this is a internet forum and we are not mind readers. If you want something then you have to be detailed and precise. So just go and buy the pretty hks units oh I mean garrett.

Cheers Lance, so just to confirm, do the GTSS's still carry different internal specs over the -9s? I understand there the same size and the compressor covers are the same stamped regardless. Cheers mate

Hadouken, at not point did I get angry, my apologies if you think otherwise. Was just replying to a response.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
