Just a small update, maybe it's usefull for someone in the future.


I bought the -9's and got them fine balanced. I don't have a dyno graph yet because it was just mapped on the street, but I'm very happy with them. Full boost (1,45 bar) is at 3900-4000rpm with Tomei cam gears in stock position until now. Will adjust this on the dyno in the near future and see what it will do for better spool, I'm sure this will bring some extra response and midrange power.


I really like it, that I get the same boost earlier than before. 1 bar was at 3800rpm before, now it's 1 bar at 3500rpm.

The Garrett balancing is max of 1g up to 30000rpm and max 2g after that.

Mine are balanced to max 0,2g now.

Can upload a chart of the balancing if someone is interessted.

Wasn't that expensive, so thought I maybe won't feel a difference, but won't harm.

This for example is what a normal balancing diagram looks like:

rover-75-1.8-turbocharger-cartridge-chra

The balancing from factory is anywhere below the big line.

I attached a picture of one of mine now

You can see the big line on the left corner. The balancing should be anywhere below the line to meet the manufacturers specification.

I think you won't feel a difference at all. All they say, the Turbos last longer with a better balancing.

This is how the biggest Garrett dealer in Germany discribes the Garrett balancing:

Garrett balanced the core assembly of the GT-R and GT-X turbocharger according to appropriate guidelines in a reasonable and cost-efficient framework. This balancing is usually sufficient. If it's not enough for you and you want a more exact balancing for your turbocharger, we can perform this for you. The costs for this is 130EUR. The work delays the delivery of your turbocharger to a maximum of one working day.

Before and after adjusting the cam gears?

Yes I will.

Before and after adjusting the cam gears?

Yes I will.

should be a big difference, the inlet cam really responds well to adjustment on the RB26

    • Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys   
    • perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything
    • I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
