Garrett 2860-5 Max Spool

[CU's GTR]

I have a Gtr r33 and looking to install the Garrett-5's. Installed already is the air intake and 3inch exhaust with a sports cat. What I will be installing with the turbos are: 1125cc Bosch injectors, tomei cams and camshaft, tomei dump pipes. My question is what the max spool on these turbos with the mentioned mods? (What RMP when full boost kicks in?)

What I would like to know if anyone has installed these on their Gtr r33 and their thoughts on this?

Wanting to use this on the street and track...

Thanks.

Type of cams and fuel/ boost target would help with answers

[Hadouken]

Bro. Seriously just google. I guarantee you that there are hours maybe even days of reading

Exhaust is too small for starters.

Have a look through this for a start:

The fuel will be premium fuel (98). Boost level is unsure of at the moment. If possible 1.5 bar. I've looked through forums but most talk about kw at the wheels. Not to concerned on that. I expect to produce somewhere between 300-350 kw at all wheels. Current set up is producing 240kw at the wheels.

I just want to ensure the right turbo is use for and not too much lag. If full boost is around 3500rpms this would be fine.

Thanks KiwiRS4T. That is a great start.

Perfect Street setup.

On stock engine and cams, -5 max spools at around 5000 rpm, with bigger intercooler, dumps etc max spool at 4500 rpm, unsure about cams(depends which one). I think it would be hard to get max spool at 3500 rpm with -5 on rb26, maybe able to bring it down to 4000 rpm if you get hard pipes everything and bigger exhaust like piggaz said.

For 300-350 kw atw better off going with -9 and e85, it will be less laggy than -5. With -5 you will eventually need to go to 400kw to make sense.

Your never going to see full boost at 3500 with -5s it doesn't matter what you do

To get the best out of them tho

-Big exhaust and dumps (twin 3in into 3.5 minimum)

-Cam gears (no cams they send you backwards)

-Bigger and better intercooler (not an eBay Chinese special)

-E85 (makes a huge difference)

*increase your capacity (stroker or etc)

*vcam or the otomoto veriable cam system

The ones with the - should be on your list no matter what the * are if you can afford it, but a car with the entire list would be a weapon

but this is a better idea, my car with the stock engine and -7s makes 348kw on e85 and has fantastic response

[CU's GTR]

R32-25t, my concern with e85 is the availability of petrol stations around. Are you from melb and if so have you found it difficult for filling up for weekend drives?

Originally I opted for the -7, from what you have mentioned may relook at the -7's.

The exhaust is 3.5 inch. Not 3

With the gtr r33 intercoolers they are rated to

[CU's GTR]

Looking at the specs on the intercooler on the GTR R33's is rated up to 450kw? Would you still change them?

[r32-25t]

No I live in Sydney, I have a flex sensor in mine just in case I get stuck and can't get e85 but I haven't needed to use it yet

ive still got the standard one in mine but we have seen proven gains right through the rev range from changing them

[CU's GTR]

Great advice thanks.

[r32-25t]

I'd love to swap to -9s to see if there are any gains over the 7s, don't know if I ever will though
