Have a read of this: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/368988-tomei-arms-m7655-on-rb26/

Long story short: More expensive than the tried and tried again garrett bolt ons (comparison to -5's seems like mostly) except laggier.

Here's the dyno graph of that guys run:

How much power do you want and is this just for a street car? -7's might be a bit too small, they are the standard bnr34 n1 turbo. -9's would be better for an all rounder and still a decent upgrade.

-9's don't come with actuators standard though so you'd need to grab some with them, also a couple of the coolant fittings don't fit without modification so you can buy ones that fit for ~$70 extra.

yeah mate just a street car.... know idea really, my plans eventually is to do, dumps,front pipes,injectors,fuel pump,turbs, power fc.. it doesnt have to be 1000000hp but enough to blow away a v8 haha

Why do you want to divert from turbos that have been tested and given good results multiple times to turbos you don't know anything about?

If it's a street car just get -9s and be done with it, almost everyone else will say the same thing :P

No worries, you should have a read of the following thread btw: http://www.skylinesa...rett-gt2860-9s/

Has heaps of examples, tells you everything you need to know about these turbos and other similar options and why you shouldn't go for other turbos.

Yes it's a long thread, but you'll be fully educated and won't have second thoughts after buying them :)

rido will do, thanks again.

-5's are a bigger turbo, -7's are the smallest (~270-300atw?), then -9s a bit bigger (~310-330atw?), then -5s (~350-400atw) which will be laggy on a 2.6 and no good for street driving.

Don't quote me on the figures those are just estimates, for them you of course need all of the supporting mods. Have a read of that thread I linked you and it will answer all of your questions.

Stock turbos on any gtr (except the n1's) have ceramic wheels which can't take much boost, and they are fairly small anyway. All of the above are steel wheel and bigger turbos, they can take a fair amount of boost.

Just keep in mind that your engine is around or possibly even over 20 years old along with the turbos, those things have had a long life and you'd need to replace a lot to get a reliable and powerful result.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
