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

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
