Suppose the turbos are gone and I replace then with -5 or -7s....

how is it going to work if everything else is left standard... mainly the ecu & no tune :S

Obviously im not going to run 20psi through it... but how will the car respond with me running say 5psi...

its very risky I know... just curious

keep in mind, -7s will bolt on and be similar to stock with the capability to run more boost later. meaning you can essentially keep your car as is for a while and keep on enjoying it for a big $$ fork out later when you want to tune it.

if you go -5s, the same cannot be expected. it wont run great at low boost (or as a gtr should) and wont be safe to run at higher boost. you will need injectors and afms before you venture any further with it also, at a fairly large cost too.

depending on your goals, turbo selection is crucial... you dont want to buy 440kw turbos when you want 320. you especially dont want to buy turbos that will do 440kw because the alternative would struggle to hit 320 and hey the big ones will do that easily.. thats not how efficiency works unfortunately lol.

Why buy -7's when you can buy -9's or get a hypergear 2860RS core highflow?

Where -9 have similar response but with more power than a -7.

Check the turbo threads :yes:

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
