Hi there

I'm new to the forum. I've read lots of turbo related threads on here, but couldn't find a definitive answer to my question.

I want to build an extremly responsive RB26.

I wanted to use the -9's, because of the good feedback in this thread: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/322850-garrett-gt2860-9s/

Now a company here in Germany told me to use GTX2860R because they should make boost earlier than -9's they said.

After reading the GTX thread in here, lots of people aren't that happy with them, especially with the response after on/off throttle.

It's a street car for slow roads, I want an early spooling turbo an great response when on/off throttle or after gear changing. I don't care about max power. Around 500-550hp at the flywheel is enough for the streets I'm driving. And I don't want to rev the car above 7000rpm everytime.

I will get Poncams and adjustable cam gears as well to adjust it for even more response.

Has anyone driven both turbos an know which one to get? Can a GTX2860R really respond better than a -9?

Thanks in advance and excuse my bad english please.

Almost like stock just with more power :-)

If you want response like that, rebuild the standards with steel wheels.

-9's are a bigger turbo and they feel like it too. -7's are a bit more responsive once again. They both fall off a bit power gain wise past 20psi.

Listen to piggaz about the cams. Many people make the mistake of using too high duration which ruins response. Adjustable gears are a good idea though.

If you only want 500-550 at the flywheel then forget the GTX and grab some -7 or -9s. 7s respond better and are generally cheaper than 9s but they don't have as much to offer in the top end.

Good luck

I've heard that the GTX's will spool slightly (300rpm maybe?) faster than -5's. In the end though from powercurves i've seen that's still not the sort of thing you'd want for a dedicated street car, i'd say go -9's, i'm pretty sure that's the route i'm going to go down in the future aswell.

But that's just what i've heard....

-9s here with full boost at 3800rpm 20-21psi

Built motor blah blah and 272 10.8mm cams

So can be done will be looking for even more response on the new motor with higher comp and e85 so early next year will have results

What's your current power? I'd always figured that the limit on these turbos is ~320awkw's but people seem to be getting 350?

Something like a high comp 2.8 stroker that's dedicated to E85 might make a perfect combo really, if you can have full boost by ~ 3500rpm but get upto those sort of power figures

I've personally seen -7s do 365rwkw in a 34 GTR on E85. 320rwkw is about right on 98 though. -9s a little bit more.

Makes 350kw on 98

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
