Adam, I have the same turbos as you all be it not on a built engine like yours :ninja: ; both combos are tuned by Ant.

If your chasing 450whp just go a little more boost, mine makes 430rwhp all day no probs...yet lol. As for the response; I would go for some smaller cams. Ultimately Johns' step 1 HKS kit looks the way to go...again tuned by the same guy on the same dyno. John is making 100whp more than mine at the same speed with essentially the same turbos, 2530/2860-5.

In the end there is always a trade off between response and power...unless you have one of those freaky bespoke Racepace strokers...2.95 combos SR rods on a custom billet crank...

ooops edit the capacity of the Racepace. Cheers Steve

If im reading that chart correctly HKS 2510's will do around 440hp atw??

I have them on my gtr but havnt driven it yet due to some problems. What what i have heard there response is amazing while still making good power

damn you Slide :P

how would these compare to the T517z 8cms?

Purely a theoretical question because I'm not planning on changing turbos... anytime soon :thumbsup:

back on topic, I would listen to what Ash said about cams... your cams would be setup for making peak power well over 6000rpm... they have massive overlap

We have only ever had the 10cm's and they achieve 350awkw at around 18 pound without head work.

They hit that boost pressure at roughly 4400rpm

With a 2.8LTR Tomei kit we have achieved 400awkw at 1.6 Bar

Boost at 4000 with poncams.

Its a good kit.

I have 8cms and they make 360rwkw at 20psi... hits 20 by about 4000rpm... would be nice to have another 100kw at the same rpm lol... it has Procams in it so it has a very strong top end but it could do with a change to smaller cams but I'm going to leave it as is for a while and see how it goes

Does anyone know the actual valve timing numbers for these "272" cams ?

I was just looking at Tighe rally Subaru cam specs recently and they were ~ 270 degrees , I think the valve timing numbers were about 25-65 67 23 . This gives an overlap of 48 degrees and not surprisingly the engines run like chaff cutters .

I wouldn't expect an RB26 with numbers like these to pull hard in the lower mid range no matter what turbos it had .

To make torque you have to have sufficient cylinder pressure in the relevant engine rev range and if you use longer duration cams with lots of overlap the trapping efficiency of the valves/cylinders is nowhere until the mass of the gasses carries them in the right directions .

I reckon use milder profile cams and see what happens with the turbos you have .

BTW -9's are the GTSS's not -7's .

Turbo wise if you wanted to build bitzers from Garrett cartridges the one I'd look at is the one from the SR20 spec "GTSS" GT2860R . These have the NS111 turbine found in GT2860RS's/GT2530's etc but the compressor wheel is the 60.1mm 60T . They are intended to be a mild bolt on for an SR20 but with GTR style housings they would be just a little tamer than a 2860RS or 2530 .

Three things pull the bottom end up with GTR spec GTss's/-9's compared to 2530's .

Firstly their turbines are 10 bladed 62 trim where the better NS111 ones are 9 bladed 76 trim .

Secondly their compressor wheels are 59.7mm 56 trim where the 2530's are 60.1mm 63 trim .

Thirdly the compressor housings are T3 dimensionally where 2530s are supposed to be T04B .

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
