Mick_o

I don't think he asked for help though? He was sharing his -5 RB26 experience with you

In the fact that you cant take a blokes word who owns and tracks the setup in question for them being a bit big for a 2.6L. Then wanting to try pulling apart his setup to try justifying his response that's how I'm sorry but the choon ain't gunna make the improvements in boost response like the breathing mods will!

My opinion is most certainly qualified ive driven the Garrett range of twins from 7's - 5's on different capacity engines too and for daily duties for me they are just too big.

I agree Haydin clearly a smart guy no doubt. Everyone has a difference in opinion thats all. If you have 5's on your car and love it then who cares what anyone else thinks yeah? We all have our tastes on how we like our cars setup and we all have our driving styles. XGTRX loves his lag and believe it or not i can see why he likes it as going from nothing to getting a big kick in the ass is a big rush! But thats just not how i like my power. At the end of the Day we are just debating our opinions on things as we all like getting out points across & of course being blokes we don't like being wrong lol

Peter WTF are you on about? Where did i ever mention injector sizing or turbo size etc? Where did i ever talk about MY methods of tuning? Is the subject not about -5's on an RB26? Why do you keep talking about S2000's? The way i see it is without wondering off into compression ratios,timing and Hondas etc is that IN THIS CASE a 2.6L motor will only produce so much exhaust gas to spin up 720hp worth of turbos yeah? In order to give it the best chance of spooling up as fast as it can you need to get the air into the turbos with the least amount of restriction possible, Get the exhaust gasses out the back of the turbos as fast as possible to create efficient turbos! Cam timing & cams will control how air and exhaust get in and out of the engine. All these things are the basic fundamentals to making a turbocharger work efficiently. How the engine is tuned will change how and when torque is produced yes WHICH will change how the car drives (night and day as you put it) BUT it will not make a turbo spool up any faster!

I believe they are 360hp each Paul

Or maybe they made the wrong choice in turbos? A tune isn't gunna do "miraculous things" to make turbos come on! Everything around it is responsible. As said before its having a good intake, a good flowing exhaust & cam choice/adjustment thats gunna bring things to life not a tune. People get caught up in chasing a number up top instead of chasing the numbers everywhere else. This talk of 5's are better for the track etc is absolute bullshit! Better for which track? The 1 with the longest straight? This idea of "I can just keep the revs up and their will be no lag" is also bullshit because the more times you have to change gears around a track chasing off "that lag" the more time its gunna cost you because its less time your spending on the accelerator its as simple as that! A car with a better spread of power is gunna be faster all day everyday on the street and the track!

^^^Because 9's are every bit as responsive as the 7's & make more power so the 7's become obsolete

I wish i had an asstronomical amount of drug money to throw at 1 of these!

My 336kw E85 chooned GTST used to get around 420-450km out of a tank on the highway and having a lil squirt here and there. Buzzing around town was around the 350-380km zone. It was actually better on E85 with that power than it was with 203kw on Petrol lol! As Mick stated its all about making the engine efficient

Why not Christian

^^^ This man knows!

E85 for 300 and around 260 on 98.

What compression ratio is your motor Simon? A BBK full will go around 300+kw and make 25psi around 3800rpm depending on setup. Id say no to a 6262 being street friendly in a 2L street car its way too big. At 300kw you should be into the late 11 Zone if ya know how to pedal good

Can confirm R34 GTR seats will bolt straight in mate. Had em in my 33

Sorry mate couldn't help myself lol

Looking good Pete! Looks like ya only got a few months left to go now
