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

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
