as a comparison;

prev setup 3850rpm 135kw

current setup 3850rpm 80kw

racepace comparison 3850rpm 180kw

but you can't compare std displacement vs "built motor" it could have anything in there

but there is merit in picking the right turbocharger combination as shown on the dyno plots

Now before you guys say I should have got the -7 or -9 turbos, my goal eventually is to get above 350kw on 98 or 400kw on e85.

So my question is can someone tell me how to lower the lag down to 4500 rpm or even 4000 rpm if possible. Tuner says intake hard piping, bigger inter-cooler, exhaust shops says twin 3 inch into 4 inch exhaust, internet says cams, don't know what to do. Just want to lower the lag before I chase for more top end power, any advise or help from you guys would be much appreciated.

My set up is

Standard: motor, inter-cooler, injectors, dumps, cams, pumps etc

- Good for 300+ kW's at the rear wheels.

- 350kW's to 400kW's you will need to upgrade Injectors / Dumps / Pumps / Re-Dial Cams. Stock Intercooler should be fine until the 400kW mark.

- Also depends on the health of your engine if it can handle the 350-400kW mark.

Mods:

Apexi pods - Good, well stock Air Box can handle 300kW's at the rears (R32 GTR) and from memory the R33 and R34 GTR can handle 350kW's at the rears if not more.

dual 2.5 inch to 3 inch nismo exhaust - Go a full 3.5" for 350kW's at the rears and 4" for 400kW's at the rears.

Tomei cam gears - Good!

Splitfire coil packs - Good!

Greddy ebc - Good or does the job

Haltech platinum pro ecu - Good!

Alloy radiator - Good!

-5s are very laggy turbos for RB26. and in lot of cases, the standard "T1.5" turbine manifold gets bored out, which adds more lag. if you are using adjustable cam gears, dial +5 on the inlet and leave 0 on exhaust. That will advance response by roughly 300RPM. Or get HKS V cams with active VCT cam set, that knocks out about 700RPM of lag.

Alternatively get -9s or check out our latest single development on our thread.

^^ This.

You can Re-dial Cams / Crank Angle Sensor / e85 and a Re-Tune but the is not much more unless you go HKS V-Cam on a 2.6lt or go 2.8lt. or 2.8 V-Cam / Rebuild.

Cheers for the comments, yeah looking for a 4 inch exhaust now to future proof.

Interesting views about -5s being lag monsters.... I never really notice because I am always in the right gear and never go WOT when I am at 2500 rpm. Depends on the style of driving. I keep mine at 3500+ when I drive daily. Suppose it's my style of driving that makes my -5 setup very responsive. As mentioned previous if I am on part throttle at about 3500rpm and give it a boot, I feel minimal lag as it's at least 50% boost and ramps up so quickly I don't even notice it. If you expect -5s to come on hard at less than 3000rpm, well they won't, so to match your driving style you need smaller turbos. If you drive similar to me then -5s definitely are not laggy.

Lol. It only "feels" more responsive because you are always high in the rpm.

Op should've taken the time and read the 30 40 pages on comparing -7 -9 -5 turbos.

So what's ur point?

My point is that I have no lag problems because it suits my driving style OR I have adapted my driving style to suit the car. Either/or it doesn't matter. Perfect set up in my eyes.

Ive been quitely haveing a chuckle at this thread, and this is the first real post thats nailed it.

If you want linear power with no lag, some people should realize they need to fit smaller turbos and get rid of the high power dreams or just go and buy a NA.

How would most here survive driving a S2000, the cars dont produce anything under 6500, yet they are blindingly quick when driven as they are designed to be.

If you think -5 are too big and you want more power, shift down a gear to get them into their RPM range or fit small turbos, it shouldnt take pages to relize its in the driving style or turbo choice.

Hmmm. And I can change my driving style to suit a car that has a t88 on it as well

Yes but you may find its a little too much power on tap.

-5 wont present this, unless your in the wet on Kmart china special tyres and have absolutely no driving ability and throttle control in your right foot.

    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
