[Piggaz]

Tired engine?

Should be bout same as mine as almost same set up , i think should change cam timing to what mine is

I reckon the -5s will fall over at 25-26psi and the PBT will b good for 30+!!!

f*k -5s....

u are the first unhappy -5 customer I have heard...am I allowed to ask who is your tuner?

[Marko R1]

Its in your sign, sorry for asking.

The exhuast was farked when it made 330rwkw, 2.3inch front pipes into a 3inch catback than went down to 2.5inch in the cannon.

It's now got 3inch tuned length front pipes into a 3.5inch merge. Decat, and I'm just waiting on the 3.5inch tomei ti catback to turn up.

See how it all works out when the new system on bolted up. Than jez can do a full tune on it, cam gears, and all.

It's got type b pon cams.

Azza's made awesome power on the same setup I the same dyno.

His got a forged motor, but my motor is 160 across all 6 so it shouldn't b an issue.

C what happens

[GTRNUR]

So what's considered responsive with -5's? 1 bar at 3600 rpm?

Not exactly the turbo's fault with the little 5's trying to blow out of that man.

from memory my rb2630 with -10s made 1bar @ 3krpm, I'd need to dig it up as I posted my results in each gear on gtr UK forum

Yea I no, the prob I had was I made up at 4inch system took it back to the dyno and only made 7kw more.

Im just saying -5 on something like your motor is crazy. It deserves a decent turbo. Gunna b awesome!!

Next time your under the bonnet man, could u have a look at what yours are set at? Maybe take a pic?

You won't get that on a 2.6l unless it's fully loaded up

On the street it's around 4000-4200rpm in 3rd for a 2.6l if memory serves me correct

u are the first unhappy -5 customer I have heard...am I allowed to ask who is your tuner?

Add me to the list then for street/hill runs/motorkhana stuff the -5s are shithouse on a 2.6l

Cars was significantly faster with the smaller turbos coming on much faster in a on/off throttle scenario as -5s are lazy and need a stroker.

[Marko R1]

Interesting as I found my other gtr with -5s very responsive. That was a 2.6 as well.

What do u think is a good turbo for the application u refer to above?

Its not a loaded question- just like to hear your opinion.

[R32 TT]

$100 bucks he says GT-SS

[R31Nismoid]

Well given I've said many times over that I had -9s taken off to put the -5s on (so i can comment on both, unlike most)... Wouldn't say it's particularly difficult to come to such a conclusion

[Marko R1]

I've had GTSS, GTRS & -5's on a 2.6ltr (as well as -10s on a 26/30 which Paul has driven).

^ Absolutely you can comment on -9's back2back with -5's as you've had both...really is horses for courses though as I personally found GTSS's way too small (not sure how -9's compare to GTSS though)

[R31Nismoid]

They are the same turbo dude...

[Piggaz]

I think it depends on the sort of driving you do. Guys that do the 'on/off/on' driving IE hillclimbs, skid pan work and track work will always favour the small stuff.

Steveo overlayed a 2.6 with SS's and my 2.8 with 5's and down low they were pretty much the same. Top end, well we know what happened.

2.6 with -5's is still lethargic, however peoples definitions of being lazy/lethargic/laggy are all different.

[Piggaz]

Oops, double post!
