Out of pure curiosity has anyone used the smaller -7 or -9 (GT-SS) on a RB28?

If so I would love to see any dyno sheet to see how the first half of the rev range looks.

I've been through the Dyno Thread and can't recall anyone ever using that combo.

I noticed ages ago when the Garrett mobile app WAS working as latest update f**ked up my phone.

I'd switch scenarios like different Power limits and rpm's and I noticed the - 9's were occasionally recommended to me over everything else. when I asked for about 650bhp max (from memory) at the fly with a limit of 8500rpm as it seems there's a narrow window in the 9's compressor map that allows for higher pressures in the later rpm's that fit the 2.8 nicely.

anyone else spot this out

Looking at Petes direct comparo. (That was with -5's)

In theory -9's would drop off around 6.5-7k and probably churn 350/360kw on e85 @25psi....

Or am I way off?

and considering people with RB28 -5 combos are shifting early anyway so in most cases not utilising the last few RPM in most road use.

now imagine a - 9 set up in the 1500 to

4000 RPMs and would look fatter than -5s

in that lower rpm range.

throttle response would be sick on E85

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
