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?

    • 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
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
