hey mate what is the capacity of the motor ?

on a 2,6 you will want garret 2860-9 for good near factoryresponse and up to 350 kws

2860-5s for anything more but you will suffer from more lag

those tomeis arnt really a great turbo to be honest imo

Are you planning on building an engine?

There was a result a few years ago with the smaller set of the tomei turbos. Iirc, 23 ish psi at 5900 rpm. How much down low torque are you willing to give up?

If you jump on the Tomei site, you'll see that the comparison graph that the use to display the curves of these turbos are actually on a 2.8 L engine. Hardly a good comparison.

There are much better options out there. Every result I have seen with the new tomei things with their pretty blue actuators have been very ordinary.

Those tomei turbos are rubbish! got a mate with 1 on an evo 9 (not really the same comparison I know) but the power delivery is very dull to say the least and my evo 9 with the stock turbo feels ALOT punchier and fun to drive. Id say a well setup set of -9's feel really good on the street as ive done a few k's in my dads car with the 9's :)

The -9's are garrett 2860 -9 which are the HKS Gt-ss equivalent without the price tag. The 9's on E85 really are as good as you will get on a 2.6L unless you go single they are the perfect balance of response and power for the street :)

Mate, you're not giving us anything to work with here.

You basically have a standard car and wanting to put 500 rwkw worth of turbos on it.

Realistically, 20k ain't gonna get close to doing a build PROPERLY like that.

What will you use the car for?

Will you build an engine. If so, how big?

How much are you willing to spend on the head?

Fuel?

Do you mind it being a pig below 5 grand?

Chucking turbos at a setup and hoping for the best will end in very poor results.

this guy, he knows!!! lol

seriously bro if you wanna keep it to a decent dollar figure aim for 300-350rwkw mark.. it gets damn expensive anywhere up from there

Sorry to budge in like this but what do you mean when you say "-5s or -9s" is this the HP rating?

-9 results range from 320-360 rwkw

-5 results range from 350 - 400 rwkw generally.

I will mainly use the car as a weekenda and do all the hill climb events in it.

I don't want to open the engine at this stage.

I just a pair of bolt ons for now would give me that little extra power.

I'm at 245awkw if I can get it to 350 I would b happy for now any suggestions?

-9's will get there IF the setup is well thought out. IE not a peanut exhaust with a silly restrictor on there for example.

-5's will make it easier due to being a tad bigger, but not without a penalty.

If it were me, I'd go -9's and try make the setup as efficient as possible. Using the car for hillclimbs, it'll be faster with the smaller turbos on the standard engine. -5's are too big on a 2.6 IMO.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • 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.
