Garrett Gt2860 -9s

[Hadouken]

oops, sorry, I knew that :S. Dunno why I had 350 in my head. Maybe I was dreaming about e85 again

[Piggaz]

Realistically, -5's need a stroker to be 'street friendly'.

Cant you get BSA or another local fabricator to fab one? I guess you will need a new cat too, if you want to run one.

I would help if you were down here, I always wanted to make a jig for GTR front pipes but I have never been asked to make one. I guess there are too many brand name pipes getting around.

[levinboy]

has anyone actually got 350kw from -7's or

9's

Will be upping the boost on mine (-9s) in the next month, currently sitting at 330 on 18psi

Will be interesting to see the end result, will update once done

When I upgrade the exhaust then you can have it. But I'm sure you would have sourced a front pipe by then

When you speak to Yavuz next ask him about that, a mate did something close to 352rwkw IIRC on -9's but with everything done to the car. Everything.

Just my 2c on this entire -9 vs -5 topic having been in cars with both setups i can safely say -9's will get boring rather quickly. For a car that is driven 1-2x a week i cant see why you wouldnt go the bigger power of the -5's.

All this lag stuff is nonsense too alot of guys in this thread are treating the -5's as if though their some t51r sized monsters, realistically the lag is not too bad at all. Going 60-70kmh in 4th and drop it down to 2nd. The difference in the pull of the -5's is whats sold me.

If your using your GTR for twisties where response is needed every week go the -9, for anything else -5's all day.

That's pump 98 too, this bloke isn't keen on E85

I agree with this

If you are only driving the car on weekends go the -5s I say

As mine is daily driven the -9 was my best option for application

In the end the biggest question you need to ask is what are you going to use the car for?!?

I walk to work and have a daily for the run around stuff.

So this car will be a good weather Weekender ONLY. Also planned a few long trips to melb ect.

Which got me thinking, a smaller turbo such as the -9 would almost always be sitting on boost on the freeway would it not? Same as a -7

So something like a -5 would provide better economy for highway driving as the turbos is not constantly spooling.

Or am i misguided on this one?

Either way this will not be a daily driver, But then again I want good response through the twisties. Which im sure -5s can still provide. Just not as good at the -9s.

nomnomv8- your comment has again swayed me away from the -9’s. But I really haven’t made the comparisons like you having sat in both cars.

Still looking for a -5 set up to take a ride in.

[zebra]

Do you have an engine that will handle the -5's?

or are you going to a have a laggy 350rwks and hope and pray that everytime you hit the throttle bits of engine arent going to fly out the bonnet?

LOL @ engine on boost driving down the highway

does the car do it now? NO!
