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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
