The data rev210 has put in is good but there is not enough, especially if the average for the -5 is only 313rwkw, misleading and conflicting to others opiniions, I thought they were only good for 380-400Kw, lol.

Bakes...if you want real expert advice on low mount turbo's i know someone who has done back to back testing on 8 different low mount turbocharger applications using the same test mule and the same dyno with almost identical atmospheric conditions. Comparing different results from different cars, different dyno's and even different countries is going to give lots of conflicting info.

PM me if you want to find out more.

Cheers Paul, as you say there will be conflictions everywhere. My brothers picking up the -5's for me today, Ive made my decision.

Here is a link for those interested on GTSS vs -5 done on the same car on the same dyno. If you look at the first graph the -5 were 500 rpm behind the GTSS up until ~4600rpm where they draw level but at 5500rpm the -5 pull ahead of the GTSS.

Again, there will be other evidence to say the opposite on other cars probably but Im just continuing the way the thread has gone, lol. Keep the war going :P

Im sure I will end up at the power level shown in the graph one day anyway.

The potential of the turbo's themselves isn't what I was alluding to.

These are only the cumulative results people have independent of location and tuner as averages.

Just as an observation it appears universally easier to extract good power from the GT-SS in the sub 350rwkw range.

This is easily predicted by the compressor map as another person noted. They have the best of the -7 and -5's rolled into one.

From the compressor map they will spool as quick as a -7 but, require as low pressure to flow 30 as the -5's meaning less generated heat for power 250rwkw or more.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the -5's they are fantastic turbos and those tuners who have thier heads around them can get as much power and response as one could every want on a road car. Sure the -9's/ GT-SS are something special but, they don't have the legs of the -5's.

All you have to do is make sure you start building a spare motor and buy a spare gearbox if you decide to wring the max out of the -5's :P

im doing the same as you mate using the 5s

using the stock cooler see how it goes....

power fc

sard 720cc inj

sard fuel pump few little mods needed to fit in....

twin plate clutch os lightened fly wheel...

im going to use nismo afm bolt straight in....

hopeing to run 20psi and see how the stock cooler goes.... hopefully make around 350rwkw

also i have been told to just use the stock cams and use cam gears to get the best responce!

mine is a r32 tho....

so yes inj you will need!

i would go with the 720s head room for more! why go 550 if you need to go bigger later on?

my 440 stockers were 95% maxed out at 262rwkw

clutch i would say so.....

my os was not cheap! but its a strong clutch and with the lightened fly wheel the top end pull from 5500 up is much faster!!!!!

afm yes either z32s or nismos i would go... nismo just bolt in no cutting wires changing plugs ect...

gaskits yes i have been told some one sells them as a kit for about 250

oil return bolts you have to drill out so i have been told also nothing to hard.....

also i have been told to just use the stock cams and use cam gears to get the best responce!

Cam gears are a good idea.

If your tuner reccomends stock cams then stick to those. I'm not of that school but, I'm also not your tuner :O

You will have a weapon with this setup like the bloke who started this thread. -5's are a top turbo for ultimate street power :P

  • 2 months later...
  • 10 months later...
Bit of a thread revival by the arabian drifter but its actually timely:

Turbos, injectors, ECU, cam gears and a few other goodies should be getting installed and tuned in the next 2 weeks or so.

Stay tuned (pardon the pun)

who are those hotties in your avatar??? OMG...fark me

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
