How come the one with -9s has boost control issues?

I'm curious on how -9s with boost control issue fixed would stack up compare to -7s in terms of response.

Don't know. Mate of mine said mine was quite a bit more responsive than his, given our turbos are similar, we now know why.

No doubt he'll get it fixed eventually. Could be 100 things.

Ash, great effort on the comparo this is exactly what makes this site useful.

I'm looking for turbos at this stage and your turbos seem very appealing, theyre more responsive and overpower the 9s. Boost issues aside, the 9s seem to be behind these hybrids by some way.

Do you know if race pace will be selling these offshelf?

With a GTR, it's more like 10,000 things!

Yeah yours look as responsive as, wouldn't mind having a ride in it.

I'm curious on -9s being bit laggier than -7 from my exprience, it's the other way. But I'm comparing 302rwkw GT-SS to 270rwkw R34 N1 with EBC, but I'm comparing apple with orange here.

All I know so far is they are 4 GT2860's made into 2.

Given Garrett don't sell the wheels separate to the cartridge for that series... So it gets very expensive quite quickly.

When I find out more I'll update.

Garrett don't sell separate but you can get individual parts for Garrett turbos elsewhere.

SimonR32 would be interested to see your old T04Z graph I know it is a twins thread but just for comparisons sake as you had it pretty sussed out. Or maybe the thread should stay on topic a bit longer :)

Similar to the 517z's up to about 120 then ramps hard and monsters everything... But yes stick to low mounts for now :)

I discounted this because it had the better motor, but still same turbos :)

Really the major difference between the 2 is the amount of boost they are running.

Either way - they were both good track set-ups thats for sure. For everything else I'd prefer Ash's one.

Apologies for the MAJOR thread revival, but I don't think anything else has been mentioned about these Racepace Hybrid turbos on this forum according to what my search results are showing.

Was the EBC eventually installed to see if there was any difference? (especially after the boost curve of this setup crosses over with the -7 setup, if it were able to at least maintain 19psi like the -7, that would be interesting to see)

Was there any further development into this setup?

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
