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

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
