as a comparison;

prev setup 3850rpm 135kw

current setup 3850rpm 80kw

racepace comparison 3850rpm 180kw

but you can't compare std displacement vs "built motor" it could have anything in there

but there is merit in picking the right turbocharger combination as shown on the dyno plots

Now before you guys say I should have got the -7 or -9 turbos, my goal eventually is to get above 350kw on 98 or 400kw on e85.

So my question is can someone tell me how to lower the lag down to 4500 rpm or even 4000 rpm if possible. Tuner says intake hard piping, bigger inter-cooler, exhaust shops says twin 3 inch into 4 inch exhaust, internet says cams, don't know what to do. Just want to lower the lag before I chase for more top end power, any advise or help from you guys would be much appreciated.

My set up is

Standard: motor, inter-cooler, injectors, dumps, cams, pumps etc

- Good for 300+ kW's at the rear wheels.

- 350kW's to 400kW's you will need to upgrade Injectors / Dumps / Pumps / Re-Dial Cams. Stock Intercooler should be fine until the 400kW mark.

- Also depends on the health of your engine if it can handle the 350-400kW mark.

Mods:

Apexi pods - Good, well stock Air Box can handle 300kW's at the rears (R32 GTR) and from memory the R33 and R34 GTR can handle 350kW's at the rears if not more.

dual 2.5 inch to 3 inch nismo exhaust - Go a full 3.5" for 350kW's at the rears and 4" for 400kW's at the rears.

Tomei cam gears - Good!

Splitfire coil packs - Good!

Greddy ebc - Good or does the job

Haltech platinum pro ecu - Good!

Alloy radiator - Good!

-5s are very laggy turbos for RB26. and in lot of cases, the standard "T1.5" turbine manifold gets bored out, which adds more lag. if you are using adjustable cam gears, dial +5 on the inlet and leave 0 on exhaust. That will advance response by roughly 300RPM. Or get HKS V cams with active VCT cam set, that knocks out about 700RPM of lag.

Alternatively get -9s or check out our latest single development on our thread.

^^ This.

You can Re-dial Cams / Crank Angle Sensor / e85 and a Re-Tune but the is not much more unless you go HKS V-Cam on a 2.6lt or go 2.8lt. or 2.8 V-Cam / Rebuild.

Cheers for the comments, yeah looking for a 4 inch exhaust now to future proof.

Interesting views about -5s being lag monsters.... I never really notice because I am always in the right gear and never go WOT when I am at 2500 rpm. Depends on the style of driving. I keep mine at 3500+ when I drive daily. Suppose it's my style of driving that makes my -5 setup very responsive. As mentioned previous if I am on part throttle at about 3500rpm and give it a boot, I feel minimal lag as it's at least 50% boost and ramps up so quickly I don't even notice it. If you expect -5s to come on hard at less than 3000rpm, well they won't, so to match your driving style you need smaller turbos. If you drive similar to me then -5s definitely are not laggy.

Lol. It only "feels" more responsive because you are always high in the rpm.

Op should've taken the time and read the 30 40 pages on comparing -7 -9 -5 turbos.

So what's ur point?

My point is that I have no lag problems because it suits my driving style OR I have adapted my driving style to suit the car. Either/or it doesn't matter. Perfect set up in my eyes.

Ive been quitely haveing a chuckle at this thread, and this is the first real post thats nailed it.

If you want linear power with no lag, some people should realize they need to fit smaller turbos and get rid of the high power dreams or just go and buy a NA.

How would most here survive driving a S2000, the cars dont produce anything under 6500, yet they are blindingly quick when driven as they are designed to be.

If you think -5 are too big and you want more power, shift down a gear to get them into their RPM range or fit small turbos, it shouldnt take pages to relize its in the driving style or turbo choice.

Hmmm. And I can change my driving style to suit a car that has a t88 on it as well

Yes but you may find its a little too much power on tap.

-5 wont present this, unless your in the wet on Kmart china special tyres and have absolutely no driving ability and throttle control in your right foot.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
