Dash - Turbo


Recommended Posts

Did a little search - no result.

I have been reading and people refer to "Dash 5/7/9" turbos. What does this mean? Is it the relevant size of a turbo? What does "dash" mean? And how do you know what size a Dash 7 turbo for example equates to (2860? etc etc)

Cheers

How much power do you want?

What size is your engine?

Is it built?

What is your threshold for "lag/late boost response"

What if your driveline like?

How much do you like a full wallet?

Answer those and we will tell you.

None of these questions are applicable to me mate. I wanted general advice on what Dash # meant, that is all.

Lol, 'dash' is actually a '-', they are all 2860 variants hence 2860-5. Just quicker as they are all bolt on to the rb26dett

Oh i see. so a dash 9 is 2860-9. Bigger number = bigger compressor??

So what size is the r32 GTR size?

GTRs don't come with dash turbos at all, they have a nissan specified turbo built by garrett

But the sizing goes in order of 7-9-5-10, I know doesn't make sense or have any order but that just how it goes

I see. It just clicked that when people say dash they actually mean dash as in hyphen. So althgouh GTRs dont have dash turbos; dash 7,9,5,10 are compatible with any RB26?

"Dash" or "-" has nothing to do with the sizing of the turbo.

It's just the part number of the turbos we refer to when upgrading the turbos on the RB26.

Garrett 707160-7

Garrett 707160-9

Garrett 707160-5

Garrett 707160-10

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
