I have a Gtr r33 and looking to install the Garrett-5's. Installed already is the air intake and 3inch exhaust with a sports cat. What I will be installing with the turbos are: 1125cc Bosch injectors, tomei cams and camshaft, tomei dump pipes. My question is what the max spool on these turbos with the mentioned mods? (What RMP when full boost kicks in?)

What I would like to know if anyone has installed these on their Gtr r33 and their thoughts on this?

Wanting to use this on the street and track...

Thanks.

The fuel will be premium fuel (98). Boost level is unsure of at the moment. If possible 1.5 bar. I've looked through forums but most talk about kw at the wheels. Not to concerned on that. I expect to produce somewhere between 300-350 kw at all wheels. Current set up is producing 240kw at the wheels.

I just want to ensure the right turbo is use for and not too much lag. If full boost is around 3500rpms this would be fine.

On stock engine and cams, -5 max spools at around 5000 rpm, with bigger intercooler, dumps etc max spool at 4500 rpm, unsure about cams(depends which one). I think it would be hard to get max spool at 3500 rpm with -5 on rb26, maybe able to bring it down to 4000 rpm if you get hard pipes everything and bigger exhaust like piggaz said.

For 300-350 kw atw better off going with -9 and e85, it will be less laggy than -5. With -5 you will eventually need to go to 400kw to make sense.

Your never going to see full boost at 3500 with -5s it doesn't matter what you do

To get the best out of them tho

-Big exhaust and dumps (twin 3in into 3.5 minimum)

-Cam gears (no cams they send you backwards)

-Bigger and better intercooler (not an eBay Chinese special)

-E85 (makes a huge difference)

*increase your capacity (stroker or etc)

*vcam or the otomoto veriable cam system

The ones with the - should be on your list no matter what the * are if you can afford it, but a car with the entire list would be a weapon

but this is a better idea, my car with the stock engine and -7s makes 348kw on e85 and has fantastic response

R32-25t, my concern with e85 is the availability of petrol stations around. Are you from melb and if so have you found it difficult for filling up for weekend drives?

Originally I opted for the -7, from what you have mentioned may relook at the -7's.

Looking at the specs on the intercooler on the GTR R33's is rated up to 450kw? Would you still change them?

ive still got the standard one in mine but we have seen proven gains right through the rev range from changing them

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
