did u keep your -10's on your sperm whale paul or did u switch to -5's?

The sperm whale is still powered by RS's :spank: BUT I have bought a set of 5's to go on. Who can say no to 1000 RPM less to get to fullboost?

will you get full boost at the same revs as my rb30? should be similar right?

-5's on rb28

-10's on rb30

...will be interesting!

It shall be. With nice and small cams (maybe the mines 252's @ 10.05mm) and 'tickled' -5's. Should be alot better than the choo choo choO chOO cH00 CH00 CHOOF CHOOF CHOOF I have now!

did you ever try running that baffled twin turbo pipe i bought off you? im sure u said no at the time due to the hard pipe kit, you're more than welcome to try it though if u like :)

Your setup should come on boost sooner than mine paul as I had 280 degree cams with 10.8mm lift. My -5s I had on my rb26 was quite responsive, not like my -10s on rb30, but really not far off at all.

You will be happy if that is what you're chasing

why are there so many dyno sheets on here with -5 setups and under 350kw? actually most are around 315kw. from my understanding 350 can be reached with -9's and quicker then the other. Unless there is some sort of other advantage im overlooking?

Would be interesting to see whats supporting mods people have used for a responsive -5 set up. I'm talking 3.5k and on song with 20psi. Even things like short gts4 gear ratios and lightend fly wheel matched with cam timing.

Sorry to be bumping this back up but it has been a very good read. I'm still confused.. Is there a GT2860-9? Or are they listed as a GT2859R-9?? I have been in contact with GCG and they were telling me that the -7 turbos are bigger and have a bigger inlet and will make me more power then the -9.. But this thread has told me other wise.. Please help lol

    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
