I have the 800cc SARD's - The units fit right in on the stock rail; I didn't have to lower it or anything, But I did modify the plugs slightly to fit the stock harnesses... they fit and work fine now. I basically just shaved down the tabs on the injectors so they don't collide with the stock harnesses and clipped them on. :D

I'm about to pull the trigger on buying a new pair of -5s, but a Greddy T517Z came up for sale for a lot cheaper after the Yen/USD conversion rate. Should I stick to the original plan of picking up the -5 or save some money and get the Greddy kit? Also, would the 900cc SARD fit right in like the 800cc ones would? Thanks in advance guys!

Have a search on here but the general outcome is the -5's come on a bit more (there have been a couple back to backs).

I did see a thread about comparing the two, but I wish they gave more info on the Trust turbos such as if it's ball bearing or journal bearing, etc. Maybe I'm not searching well enough, but I couldn't find that info anywhere.

Never mind, I found a decent thread from another forum. Anyone have experience with both T517Z and -5s that could tell me if there was a big difference in the two or not?

    • And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.
    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
